Abstract
A device and method for displaying received messages, such as email, SMS, IM, multimedia, and voicemail, are provided. Each of a plurality of received messages, initially unread, is associated with a value. The device concurrently displays a first message listing and a second message listing, the first message listing comprising entries for messages of the plurality of received messages associated with a value meeting a specified threshold, and the second message listing comprising entries for other messages of the plurality of received messages. When a message associated with a value meeting the specified threshold and having an entry in the first message listing is marked read, the displayed message listings are updated to remove the entry for the message from the first message listing and to include an entry for the message in the second message listing.
