Abstract
Described are methods and systems related to providing an analytical view of information present in one or more emails. Metadata of all the emails present in a mailbox is configured. The metadata includes an attribute of a corresponding email. Based upon the attributes of the emails, a relationship map is created. The relationship map is a multidimensional structure having multiple axes, with each axis describing an attribute of the emails. A query is received to query the mailbox. The query received is parsed to identify attributes of one or more relevant emails that are associated with the received query. A value is computed for each attribute of the relevant emails. Based upon the values computed for each attribute present in the relationship map, a resulting report having analytical view of information present in the relevant emails is rendered.
