Abstract: Communication events (e.g. e-mail, phone calls etc.) are received at a user terminal connected to a communication network (e.g. P2P, VoIP) and executing a communication client arranged to be operable by a user. The terminal stores and displays a list of event initiators who have previously communicated with the terminal, each initiator having a corresponding identifier. On receipt of a further communication event at the user terminal it is determined whether the initiator is present in the list of identifiers. If the initiator is present in the list, the list is amended by adding information relating to the further event to the information relating to the at least one previously received communication event associated with the identifier of the initiator. If the initiator is not present in the list, a new entry is created at the top of the list comprising an identifier for the initiator and having information relating to the event. Also, further events received from initiators already in the list may be placed at the top of the list if the further event is received after a certain period of time from their previous communication.
