E-mail messaging to/from a mobile terminal

摘要

Systems and methods for sharing an e-mail address between a host system ( 100 ) and a mobile terminal ( 102 ) addressable by a temporary wireless identity ( 122 D) in an access network ( 114 ). A terminal identifier ( 122 A) is assigned to the mobile terminal ( 102 ) or its user. The system comprises a connectivity function ( 600 ) and a messaging centre ( 110 ) that collectively maintain an association ( 610, 612 ) between the terminal identifier ( 122 A), encryption information ( 122 C) and the temporary wireless identity ( 122 D). When detecting an e-mail message addressed to the terminal identifier ( 122 A), the connectivity function encrypts the e-mail message with the encryption information ( 122 C). The messaging centre determines the temporary wireless identity ( 122 D) of the mobile terminal and transmits the encrypted e-mail message to the mobile terminal which receives and decrypts the encrypted e-mail message.
