Abstract:
Portable email messaging allows portable email account users to store email accounts and software anywhere, compose/read email messages, synchronize selected message folders/address book between two independent directory locations, organize email messages in folders and access an address book without an Internet connection. When an Internet connection is present, users are able to send/receive email messages, store online a copy of account parameters; and for users with no access to a local directory, to operate the portable email account as a webmail. Portable email messaging allows local exchange of email messages among independent email addresses, sending/receiving email messages to and from the Internet for intranet members without each member having to individually log into their account, the exchange of intranet member messages in a peer to peer environment or through an intranet exchange point where multiple intranets exchange email messages, and the sending/receiving of Internet bound messages for independent intranet members.
