System and method for serving a message client
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a connection service configured to communicate with a plurality of client messaging application instances;
a mailbox service layer configured to temporarily store and process message updates inbound from and outbound to one or more of the client messaging application instances;
a message service layer configured to communicate with one or more outside message service providers and to translate message updates to a message format compatible with native rendering by a client messaging application instance, wherein one of the message updates comprises a message with an attachment, and wherein a translated message update corresponding to the one of the message updates includes an in-line reference for retrieval of the attachment that is stored on an attachment server, wherein the attachment of the one of the message updates is stored on the attachment server when the one of the message updates is translated to its corresponding translated message update;
a first intermediary transfer layer communicatively coupled between the connection service and the mailbox service layer, the first intermediary transfer layer including a first inbound message data queue to transfer message updates from the plurality of client messaging application instances to the mailbox service layer and a first outbound message data queue to transfer message updates from the mailbox service layer to the connection service for communication to one or more of the client messaging application instances; and
a second intermediary transfer layer communicatively coupled between the mailbox service layer and the message service layer, the second intermediary transfer layer including a second inbound message data queue to transfer translated message updates from the message service layer to the mailbox service layer and a second outbound message data queue to transfer message updates from the mailbox service layer to the message service layer.

Abstract
A system and method for synchronizing messages between client application instances and a message service provider includes a connection service communicatively coupled to a plurality of client messaging application instances; a first intermediary transfer layer with an inbound message data queue that queues message updates of a client application instance and an outbound message data queue that queues message updates and notifications from a mailbox service layer; a mailbox service layer communicatively coupled to the connection service through the first intermediary transfer layer; a second intermediary transfer layer with an mailbox message data queue that contains queued message data directed at the mailbox service layer and a message service data queue that contains queued message updates directed at a message service layer; and a message service layer configured for message interactions with an outside message service provider.

11. A method comprising:
-
at a message service layer, receiving a message update from a message service provider, the message update associated with an account; at the message service layer, translating the message update to a message format compatible with native rendering by a client application instance, wherein one of the message updates comprises a message with an attachment, and wherein a translated message update corresponding to the one of the message updates includes an in-line reference for retrieval of the attachment that is stored on an attachment server, wherein the attachment of the one of the message updates is stored on the attachment server when the one of the message updates is translated to its corresponding translated message update; transmitting the translated message update through a message service queue to a mailbox service layer; at the mailbox service layer, caching the message update for communication to a client application instance associated with the account; transmitting the message update through an outbound queue to a connection service; and communicating the message update from the connection service to the client application instance associated with the account. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

-
at a message service layer, receiving a message update from a message service provider, the message update associated with an account; at the message service layer, translating the message update to a message format compatible with native rendering by a client application instance, wherein one of the message updates comprises a message with an attachment, and wherein a translated message update corresponding to the one of the message updates includes an in-line reference for retrieval of the attachment that is stored on an attachment server, wherein the attachment of the one of the message updates is stored on the attachment server when the one of the message updates is translated to its corresponding translated message update; transmitting the translated message update through a message service queue to a mailbox service layer; at the mailbox service layer, caching the message update for communication to a client application instance associated with the account; transmitting the message update through an outbound queue to a connection service; and communicating the message update from the connection service to the client application instance associated with the account. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
