Claim:
1. A method comprising: determining, via a computing device, a first sender from a plurality of senders, said plurality of senders communicating a plurality of messages over a network addressed to a plurality of recipients, said first sender associated with a subset of said messages sent within a predetermined time period, said subset of messages being addressed to a number of recipients satisfying a threshold, and corresponding to a type of message associated with an identifier of the sender; identifying, via the computing device, each recipient of each message of said subset; filtering, via the computing device, said plurality of messages based on said identifier of the sender, and based on said filtering, identifying said subset of messages such that each message in said subset corresponds to said type; determining, via the computing device, a recipient listing associated with the first sender, said recipient listing comprising a list of identifiers for each identified recipient; clustering, via the computing device, each of said subset of messages into a message group based on said recipient listing, said clustering comprising grouping each message sent from said first sender addressed to the recipients on the recipient listing; and facilitating display, via the computing device, of each message within said message group as a message thread within an inbox associated with each identified recipient.
