An image forming apparatus includes units, such as mail reception, mail management, reading, detection, device identifier comparing, retrieval, printing, and mail attaching and sending. The mail management unit stores received electronic mail. The detection unit detects electronic mail identification information and a device identifier contained in document image data generated from a document image. The detected device identifier is compared with the image forming apparatus device identifier. If the detected device identifier corresponds to the image forming apparatus device identifier, then the retrieval unit searches the stored electronic mail in the mail management unit for an electronic mail corresponding to the electronic mail identification information. The printing unit performs printing of the electronic mail stored in the mail management unit. If the detected device identifier does not correspond, an electronic mail containing the read document image data is sent to an image forming apparatus having the detected device identifier.
