Method of forwarding e-mail from a destination mailbox to a diverted mailbox and terminal for realising the method

摘要

The automatic reply system is compatible with use of the electronic mail for sending fax messages. The process provides for return of an electronic mail from a destination letterbox (21), attributed to a terminal (16) by an electronic mail server, to a rerouting letterbox (31). In the course of this procedure, the terminal connects itself to the electronic mail server (20), remotely loads the mail contained within the destination letterbox, and automatically returns a message to the rerouting letterbox in the course of the same communication between the terminal and the electronic mail server. The terminal determines whether the contents of the electronic mail is readable, and in the event of successful reading controls the return of a message to the rerouting letterbox.
