摘要

PURPOSE: A method for sharing an e-mail address between a mobile terminal and a PC is provided to allow a mobile terminal and a PC to maintain a shared address book with respect to an e-mail address through a POP3 server. CONSTITUTION: A POP3 server(140) receives an initialization signal for socket connection from a POP3 terminal(110)(301) and transmits a preparation completion signal to the POP3 terminal(110)(302). The POP3 terminal(110) transmits a user ID to the POP3 server(140)(303). The POP3 server(140) transmits a user ID recognition signal to the POP3 terminal(110)(304). The POP3 terminal(110) transmits a PASS password to the POP3 server(140)(305). The POP3 server(140) processes a transaction state and transmits a password recognition ACK signal to the POP3 terminal(110)(306). The POP3 terminal(110) transmits an STAT signal to the POP3 server(140)(307). The POP3 server(140) processes the STAT signal and transmits information on the number and a size of the next messages to the POP3 terminal(110)(308). The POP3 terminal(110) transmits a request signal as to whether there is an e-mail address of a person called Steven to the POP3 server(140)(309). If there is an e-mail address of Steven, the POP3 server(140) searches the e-mail address of Steven and transmits a corresponding result to the POP3 terminal(110)(310). The POP3 terminal(110) transmits the e-mail address of Steven to the POP3 server(140) and the POP3 server(140) adds and registers the e-mail address of Steven(311).
