receiving, at an email service, an email message directed to a user and a set of recipients;
receiving, at the email service, one or more actions of the set of recipients with respect to the email message;
accessing a network graph, wherein the network graph indicates distances between the user and each recipient of the set of recipients and the distances represent a measure of closeness of connection between the user and each recipient of the set of recipients;
assigning a score to the email message based on the one or more actions and the distances; and
providing the score to a client device of the user for display of a preview of the email message among previews of other email messages in an order that is based on the score.
