System and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device
First Claim
1. A method of redirecting information between a messaging host system and a wireless mobile data device that is associated with a computer connected over a network to the messaging host system, the method comprising:
- receiving a notification at a redirector component associated with the messaging host system indicating receipt of a mail item by the messaging host system, wherein the mail item is addressed to a data store associated with the messaging host system that is viewable via the computer;
processing the mail item at the redirector component to add identification information associated with the wireless mobile data device;
sending the mail item from the redirector component to the wireless mobile data device over a wireless network;
receiving a reply signal from the wireless mobile data device relative to the mail item that was redirected; and
changing a message status change indicator associated with the mail item, wherein the message status change indicator is viewable via the computer and the message status change indicator indicates that the mail item was replied to and further wherein the message status change indicator is a graphical icon that provides an indication that the redirected mail item was replied to at the wireless mobile data device.

Abstract
A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is provided. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect certain user-selected data items from the host system to the user'"'"'s mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect a particular user-defined event, and then to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device. Included in the system is a program to manage information moved by the user within the host system or the mobile data communication device so that the move is made on both the host system and the mobile data communication device.

8. A non-transitory computer-accessible medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processing entity, effectuate redirection of information between a messaging host system and a wireless mobile data device that is associated with a computer connected over a network to the messaging host system, the non-transitory computer-accessible medium comprising:
-
a code portion for processing a notification received from the messaging host system, the notification indicating receipt of a mail item by the messaging host system, wherein the mail item is addressed to a data store associated with the messaging host system that is viewable via the computer; a code portion for processing the mail item to add identification information associated with the wireless mobile data device; a code portion for sending the mail item to the wireless mobile data device over a wireless network; a code portion for processing a reply signal received from the wireless mobile data device relative to the mail item that was redirected; and a code portion for changing a message status change indicator associated with the mail item, wherein the message status change indicator is viewable via the computer and the message status change indicator indicates that the mail item was replied to and further wherein the message status change indicator is a graphical icon that provides an indication that the redirected mail item was replied to at the wireless mobile data device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
