Abstract:

E-mail synchronization may involve synchronization of data types, such as a unique identifier (UID), flag, header, and content. Upon identifying a trigger (e.g., user input) to receive a plurality of messages, a client device an implement an optimized retrieval scheme. This retrieval scheme may involve retrieval of multiple data types (e.g., UIDs, flag(s), and text) for one group of messages before those data types are retrieved for other groups of messages. Retrieval schemes can be determined and dynamically adjusted based on user input so as to provide quicker retrieval of certain data of certain messages. Retrieval schemes can also be optimized when multiple mailboxes are present.

Abstract:

A method and system for exchanging email attachments is disclosed. An attachment can be sent to one or more recipients using a file hosting service. In this way, instead of including the attachment with the email, the attachment is sent and stored on a file server. The attachment can later be retrieved by the email's recipients using a link that is included in the email. The link can be embedded in the email's header or body. In one case, the attachment is automatically retrieved from the file server using the link. In another case, a recipient can manually retrieve the attachment from the file server using the link. A link can be associated with an expiration date such that when a link expires, the link can no longer be used to retrieve the attachment.
