Abstract:
In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing email suggestions are presented. A first user account associated with a composer of an email may be identified. Core working hour and a time zone associated with that first user account may be determined. One or more recipient user accounts included in the email may be identified. Core working hours and a time zone associated with the recipient user accounts may be identified. If more than a threshold number, percentage, and/or ratio of the recipient users is not currently in core working hours when the email is being drafted/sent, a suggestion may be surfaced in association with the email to send the email at a later time when more recipient users are in their core working hours.
