1. A method of configuring messages for display to a user, the method comprising:
obtaining a set of electronic messages in association with an electronic messaging application;
automatically bundling, by one or more processors according to a message category, a subset of the electronic messages into a cluster object, wherein the cluster object is associated with one or more clustering rules;
selecting, by the one or more processors, a group of the electronic messages to be displayed including the cluster object, wherein the cluster object is displayable adjacent to another electronic message of the set of electronic messages;
selecting, by the one or more processors, a display state of the cluster object, the display state including a subset of body text of a most recent electronic message of the cluster object and labeled by a keyword abbreviation corresponding to the message category associated with the cluster object; and
generating for display on a display device, a graphical interface for the electronic messaging application including the cluster object in the selected display state and the adjacent other electronic message.
