1. A mail communication method of executing communication by a communication terminal via a communication server, comprising steps of:
- transmitting a reception notice from the communication terminal to the communication server, the reception notice representing that message information to be transmitted to the communication terminal is received;
transmitting a digest request from the communication terminal to the communication server in response to the reception notice, the digest request being parameterized with digest component information about an information component required as a digest of the message information;
composing digest information in the communication server on a basis of the digest component information in response to the digest request; and
transmitting the composed digest information to the communication terminal.

Abstract
Upon receiving a message, a mail server (20) causes an SMSC (30) to transmit a reception notice. In response to the reception notice, a digest acquisition unit (211) of a cellular phone (60) requests information (digest information) about the message of the mail server (20). In accordance with a user'"'"'s instruction for the digest information, a control unit (214) instructs a message acquisition unit (212) to receive each part of the message. Consequently, the message can efficiently be transmitted, and unnecessary traffic can be reduced.
