E-MAIL SYNCHRONIZATION FOR MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

An email object is provided that fulfills requirements defined in the OMA MEM Enabler, where email messages are represented as extensible markup language documents. Filters created using XPath allow an email client to indicate what email messages are to be advertised as new and later downloaded. Table of content information can also be provided without the need for downloading an entire email object first, as well as additional information about each body part. Therefore, referencing body parts for downloading email body parts step-by-step or for use in a reply/forward without download use case, as well as allowing for the downloading of alternative content (e.g., content-adaptation) is provided. Data synchronization protocols are used to allow the email client to keep an equivalence relationship between main email storage on the email server and local mail storage on the email client side when transferring email messages between the email client and email server.
