Abstract

A system, method and apparatus for implementing email notification are disclosed. The system and method ensures that an email notification (EMN) generation module is able to generate refined email information for a received email according to a configured refined email information format and transmit the generated refined email information to a parsing module. The systems and methods further allow the parsing module in a user equipment to parse out refined email information from the EMN generation module according to a configured refined email information format. An apparatus for implementing email notification includes an email server having the EMN generation module and user equipment (UE) having the parsing module. The system, method and apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention all ensure the UE to be able to receive the refined email information to which the detailed email information in the UE'"'"'s mail account corresponds. The UE may be able to flexibly perform subsequent email operation according to the received refined email information.
