I hope you enjoy the series!

It will allow automatic prioritizing of emails, and allow user to pause email delivery.
Would you believe that Microsoft has just patented the concept utilized by the "page up" and "page down" keys commonly found on computer keyboards? That seems to be the case according to U.S. Patent number 7,415,666.
