<p>To achieve a highly efficient identification of messages stored in the storage unit (12) of a message handling system the storage unit (12) is adapted to store a plurality of messages to provide a dynamic access thereto. This is achieved by at least one attribute (A=(p,f) ε A) assigned to each message such that each attribute describes at least one aspect of a message and a specific value for this aspect. Typical aspects to be used within the message handling systems are, e.g., a folder aspect, a status aspect, a time aspect, or a communication partner aspect. Within the message handling system (10) access to stored messages is organized through views being defined as a subset of view aspects (pξ ⊆ P) and a set of view values (Vpξ ⊆ V) for each such view aspect. Messages are then read from the storage unit (12) in accordance with the specified view.</p> |
