To provide an event driven redirection computer program (redirector program) operating at a host computer.

A system and method for pushing information from the host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a trigger event is disclosed. The redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect certain user-selected data items from the host system to the user's mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined trigger events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect a particular user-defined event, and then to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.
