Abstract: A method and apparatus that allow users having access to a facsimile (fax) machine to send, receive, and manage e-mail easily. If the user selects a "Direct Receipt" receive mode, e-mail is automatically sent to his fax machine, where it is automatically printed out and can be read. If the user selects "Receipt on Demand" mode, the user calls a predetermined telephone number and answers voice prompts to instruct the system where to fax his (held) unread e-mail. The user can also be notified of unread e-mail being held, via pager or telephone. In either case, the fax received by the user contains the contents of the e-mail message intended for the user. To send e-mail from his fax machine, the user uses an "address book" of e-mail addresses, each of which is associated with a fax telephone number (also called an "internet fax number"). If the user sends a fax message to an internet fax number associated with a particular recipient in the user's address book, the system sends an e-mail message containing the contents of the fax message to the recipient associated with the internet fax number.

Abstract translation: 允许访问传真机的用户容易地发送，接收和管理电子邮件的方法和装置。 如果用户选择“直接收货”接收模式，电子邮件将自动发送到他的传真机，并自动打印出来并可以读取。 如果用户选择“按需接收”模式，则用户呼叫预定的电话号码并应答语音提示以指示系统在哪里传真（保持）未读电子邮件。 还可以通过寻呼机或电话向用户通知正在持有的未读电子邮件。 在这两种情况下，由用户接收的传真包含用于用户的电子邮件的内容。 要从其传真机发送电子邮件，用户使用电子邮件地址的“通讯录”，每个电子邮件地址与传真电话号码（也称为“互联网传真号码”）相关联。 如果用户向用户地址簿中与特定接收者相关联的因特网传真号码发送传真消息，系统将发送包含传真消息内容的电子邮件发送给与互联网传真号码相关联的接收者。
