Abstract

A scheme for redirecting data items from a messaging host system. One embodiment comprises one or more of the following: setting a redirection flag configured for a user associated with a mobile communication device to enable continuous redirection of data items thereto received from the messaging host system over a wide area data network until the redirection flag is reset to indicate cessation of redirection of the data items; automatically detecting receipt of a new data item from the messaging host system for a user over the wide area data network; and upon determining that the new data item is to be redirected, processing at least a portion of the new data item for transmission thereof to the user'"'"'s mobile communication device over a wireless network.

Claims

1. A method of redirecting data items from a messaging host system, the method comprising:

setting a redirection flag configured for a user associated with a mobile communication device to enable continuous redirection of data items thereto received from the messaging host system over a wide area data network until the redirection flag is reset to indicate cessation of redirection of the data items;

automatically detecting receipt of a new data item from the messaging host system for a user over the wide area data network; and

upon determining that the new data item is to be redirected, processing at least a portion of the new data item for transmission thereof to the user'"'"'s mobile communication device over a wireless network.

2. A system for redirecting data items from a messaging host system, the system comprising:

means for setting a redirection flag configured for a user associated with a mobile communication device to enable continuous redirection of data items thereto received from the messaging host system over a wide area data network until the redirection flag is reset to indicate cessation of redirection of the data items;

means for automatically detecting receipt of a new data item from the messaging host system for a user over the wide area data network; and

means, responsive to determining that the new data item is to be redirected, for processing at least a portion of the new data item for transmission thereof to the user'"'"'s mobile communication device over a wireless network.
