Dynamic encoding of email addresses

摘要

Embodiments of the invention may provide the ability to convert a non-supported email address (i.e., an email address that conforms to a standard that is not supported by the receiving device) into a supported email address (e.g., an email address that conforms to a standard that is supported by the receiving device). Embodiments of the invention may perform this conversion, for example, when an email communication containing a non-internet-standard email address is to be delivered or synchronized to a mobile device that only supports standard internet addresses. Similarly, embodiments of the invention may perform this conversion when a calendar entry, a task, a contact, or other data package containing such a non-supported email address is to be delivered or synchronized to a mobile device that does not support such an email address.

主权项

1. A system for dynamic encoding of email addresses comprising:
a processor configured for (a) determining if a data package contains an address that is not supported by a device to receive or synchronize with the data package; (b) if the data package contains an address that is not supported by the device to receive or synchronize with the data package, creating a supported address corresponding to the non-supported address, the supported address comprising a local-part and a domain, the local-part comprising an encoded version of the entire non-supported address, the domain comprising a non-valid domain; and (c) replacing the non-supported address in the data package with the created supported address.
