Title:
ELECTRONIC MAIL CONTROL SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005010707
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electronic mail system provides one or more approvers with approval authority over electronic mail of a user. The approvers have the opportunity to approve an incoming electronic mail message before the message is delivered to the user, and have the opportunity to approve an outgoing electronic mail message by the user before the message is sent to its intended recipient. Messages can be approved or rejected automatically, using filters, or through actions by an approver. Rejected incoming messages are not delivered to the user. Rejected outgoing messages are not sent to the intended recipient. Mail to be approved can be synchronized for consistency among multiple approvers. The user whose mail is to be approved can access the mail from multiple locations, with the mail at each location synchronized to appear in the same folders.
