Abstract: The present invention relates to a mail synchronization system. A local mail system (104) provides electronic mail services to a desktop computer (114) and includes a local mail server (116) and a mail synchronization client (118). The local mail server manages storage, receipt and delivery of electronic mail messages with respect to the desktop computer, can display a list of electronic mail messages in a local inbox, and stores the list in the local mail server. A wireless mail system (112) provides electronic mail services to a mobile device (108) and includes a mobile device mail application, a mobile device mail server and a mail synchronization server. The mobile device mail server manages storage, receipt and delivery of electronic mail messages with respect to the mobile device, can display a list of electronic mail messages in a remote inbox, and stores the list in the mobile device mail server. The mail synchronization client and said mail synchronization server interact to synchronize the list of the electronic mail messages for the local inbox and the remote inbox in a two way manner without user interaction. Thus, the user is able to effectively see and interact with only a single "virtual" mailbox, which is the synchronized combination of the two different electronic mailboxes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus that provides for user interaction with soft key functions on a wireless communication device (100) where the number of softkey functions exceeds the number of physical softkeys available. An initial assignment of softkey functions to the available softkeys (118) on the user interface of the wireless communication device is made. Thereafter, subsequent softkey assignments may be altered through an interaction with the navigation keys (120). Additionally, the user is given the option of selecting among different softkey function presentation and alteration schemes.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for utilizing bookmarks on a wireless client device (100). By operating a button on the device keypad (108), one of a plurality of bookmarks is selected. A compact request is then transmitted to a proxy server device (116) for the document or file represented by the selected bookmark and the universal resource locator thereof is obtained. Thereafter, a non-compact request for that document or file, including the universal resource locator, is prepared and forwarded to a remote server identified by at least a portion of the universal resource locator. Particular keys on the keypad can be assigned bookmarks whereby pressing and holding the assigned key generates the bookmark.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile device (200) for use with a wireless data communication providing electronic mail services centrally managed by a mail server. The mobile device stores electronic mail resources in a memory storage device that is persistent and not subjected to cache removal processing. The mobile device also has a display device (228), which displays at least a part of one or more of the electronic mail resources, and an electronic mail processor (226) which can perform an electronic mail operation with respect to the electronic mail resources stored in the memory storage device even when the wireless data communication network is not available to the mobile device. Accordingly, the mobile device can locally perform locally electronic mail services thereby avoiding significant delays when the network is unavailable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and mobile device (200) for interacting with a mail server to provide mail services through a wireless data communication network such that the user can locally perform certain electronic mail services when the network is unavailable. The device has a persistent memory (206) for storing a first predetermined portion of incoming electronic mail messages, which portion is substantially less than the entire incoming message, and a non-persistent memory (208) for storing none, some or all of a remaining portion of the incoming message. An electronic mail processor (226) controls the display of at least a part of the one or more of the electronic mail messages on a display device (228) and interacts with the mail server to receive the incoming electronic mail messages from the mail server and to transmit outgoing electronic mail messages to the mail server. Accordingly, when the network is needed, the bandwidth of the network is efficiently consumed such that burdens placed on the network and wait times imposed on users are both minimal.
