20080256179 | DIRECT ACCESS ELECTRONIC MAIL (EMAIL) DISTRIBUTION AND SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM WITH PROVISION FOR PRE-CONFIGURED SERVICE OFFERINGS - A communications system includes a network engine that communicates with a plurality of unsubscribed mobile wireless communications devices using a communications network for sending and receiving emails therefrom. A direct access server is operative with the network engine for polling electronic mailboxes of users and retrieving email from the electronic mailboxes and pushing any email through the network engine to selected user subscribed mobile wireless communications devices. This direct access server is operative for providing at least one pre-configured service offering to a user that is linked to mail-access parameters when a user configures their respective electronic mailbox. | 10-16-2008 |
20100250720 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONFIGURATION DATA SUCH AS FOR CONFIGURING ELECTRONIC MAIL ACCESS - A system, method and computer-readable medium provides configuration data, such as for electronic mail access. A configuration module retrieves the configuration data from a source of configuration data, such as a user system. The configuration in one aspect could be for accessing different electronic mailboxes of a user. Data object are generated. Each data object is submitted as a distributed object module to a web service. The web service in one aspect of the invention could be for a pass-through access for configuring electronic mailboxes. | 09-30-2010 |
20100325230 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF POLLING ELECTRONIC MAILBOXES - A communications system includes a polling agent that can be part of a mobile office platform for polling an electronic mailbox to retrieve unique identifiers (UID's) of electronic messages. A database stores the UID's resulting from the polling operation. The polling agent is operative for polling the electronic mailbox and retrieving only those UID's that are newer than the UID's from a previous polling to determine that new messages are available. | 12-23-2010 |
20110302260 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EMAIL NOTIFICATION - A method of configuring a system for providing notification of a new email received at a user's mailbox stored by a first mail storage system for retrieval by a second mail storage system. The method comprises configuring a mail sender to send a notification email to the second mail storage system comprising data to notify the second mail storage system of the new email, receive a rejection message from the second mail storage system, and interrupt the sending of further data of the notification email in response to the rejection message, wherein the receipt by the second mail storage system of the notification email triggers the second mail storage system to retrieve the new email from the first mail storage system. | 12-08-2011 |

20120059895 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVISIONING AN EMAIL ACCOUNT USING MAIL EXCHANGE RECORDS - A system provisions an electronic mail (email) account of a user for allowing access to an electronic mailbox from a remote device to retrieve email. A communications module receives email address parameters of the user and transmits a domain name system (DNS) query to the Internet for returning mail exchange (MX) records corresponding to the email address parameters of the user. A configuration module processes any returned MX records as a starting point for determining configuration parameters for accessing the email account of the user to retrieve user email. | 03-08-2012 |
20120117631 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVISIONING AN EMAIL ACCOUNT USING MAIL EXCHANGE AND ADDRESS RECORDS - A system for provisioning an electronic mail (email) account of a user for allowing access to an electronic mailbox from a remote device to retrieve email includes a communications module that receives email address parameters entered by the user and transmits a domain name system (DNS) query to the Internet for returning mail exchange (MX) and address (A) records corresponding to the entered email address parameters of the user. A configuration module processes any returned MX and A records to determine whether the email address parameters entered by the user are valid before attempting to provision the email account of the user. | 05-10-2012 |
