5. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a control interface of a messaging system, a control command addressed to a network address of the control interface; determining whether the network address has been accessed a predefined number of times; authenticating the control command based on an authentication token of the network address; determining, based on the network address, a message of the messaging system to which the control command pertains; and sending a messaging system command to the messaging system when the network address has not been accessed the predefined number of times to perform an action with respect to the message based on the control command. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system, comprising:
-
a messaging system interface to receive notification that a message addressed to a subscriber has been received at a messaging system; an access server coupled to the messaging system interface, the access server to generate a network address including an authentication token, the access server to determine a notification address of the subscriber and to generate a notification message addressed to the notification address, the notification message including the network address; and a control interface coupled to the access server, the control interface to receive a control message addressed to the network address, the control message including a command to perform an action at the messaging system with respect to the message. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A computer-readable medium, comprising:
-
instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to authenticate a received control command addressed to a one-time-use network address, wherein the one-time-use network address is associated with an authentication token; instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine, based on the one-time-use network address, a message of a messaging system to which the received control command pertains; and instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to send a messaging system command to the messaging system to perform an action with respect to the message based on the control command.

27. A message notification display, comprising:
-
a graphical user interface comprising information notifying a user of a message received at a messaging system; and at least one user selectable control option, wherein selection of the at least one user selectable control option causes a message disposition control command to be sent to a network address of the messaging system, the network address comprising an authentication token to authenticate the control command to the messaging system. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)
