Method and system for providing network synchronization with a unified messaging system
First Claim
1. A method for providing network synchronization with a unified messaging system, comprising:
- receiving and storing message data for a specified recipient;
generating an enhanced e-mail message, the message comprising the message data and a synchronization link;
sending the message to the specified recipient;
receiving a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from an e-mail client associated with the recipient, the HTTP request based on the message; and
providing network synchronization based on the HTTP request.

Abstract
A method for providing network synchronization with a unified messaging system is provided. The method includes receiving and storing message data, such as voice data, for a specified recipient. An enhanced e-mail message is generated for the recipient. The message, which is in hypertext mark-up language (HTML) format, includes the message data and a synchronization link that points to a web server. The message is sent to the recipient through an e-mail server corresponding to an e-mail client associated with the recipient. When the client downloads the message from the server and renders the HTML, the synchronization link is fetched. As a result, the web server receives a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from the client based on the message and provides network synchronization based on that HTTP request.
