Methods and systems for managing email configuration
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing email configuration, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- receiving a first email message from a first device, the first email message being;
received on a second device;
sent from a first email address;
identifying, on the second device, device-type information in the first email message, the device-type information indicating a device type of the first device;
associating the device-type information with the first email address;
identifying, on the second device, a second email message addressed to a destination email address;
detecting that the destination email address is associated with the device-type information, the destination email address being the same as the first email address;
using the device-type information on the second device to select email-configuration information for the second email, a configuration-information database comprising the email-configuration information;
reformatting, on the second device, a body of the second email based on the email-configuration information, the email-configuration information comprising formatting information.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing email configuration may include receiving a first email message from a first device, identifying device-type information in the first email message, identifying a second email message addressed to the first email address, and using the device-type information to select email-configuration information for the second email. The method may further include reformatting a body of the second email based on the email-configuration information, removing an attachment to the second email in response to the email-configuration information, providing a user with the email-configuration information for the second email message, and associating the device-type information with the first email address. A computer-implemented method for including email-configuration information in an email may involve identifying a first email message from a first user, including email-configuration information in the first email message, and sending the first email message to a first recipient. Corresponding systems are also disclosed.

11. A computer-implemented method for managing email configuration, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
-
identifying, on a first device, a first email message to be sent from a first user of the first device to a second user of a second device; including, on the first device, email-configuration information in the first email message, the email-configuration information being formatted to provide an email-configuration module with at least one email configuration preference of the first user; receiving, on the second device, the first email message from a first email address associated with the first user of the first device; reading, on the second device, the email-configuration information included in the first email message, the email-configuration information being read by the email-configuration module, wherein reading the email-configuration information comprises associating the email-configuration information with the first email address and storing the association on the second device; identifying, on the second device, the second email message addressed to a destination email address; determining, by the second device and based on the destination email address being the same as the first email address, that the second email message is directed to the first user; sending the first email message from the first device to the second device, the first email message being addressed to a second user of the second device from the first user of the first device; receiving, at the first device, a second email message from the second device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A system for managing email configuration, the system comprising:
-
a hardware server that includes an interface, a storage module, an input device, an email-configuration module, and a processor, wherein; the interface is configured to receive an indication of an email-configuration preference of an email user, the email-configuration preference being associated with a device type of a device used by the email user; the storage module is programmed to associate the email-configuration preference of the email user with an email destination identified by a destination email address; store the association of the email-configuration preference, the device-type, and the email destination; the input device is configured to receive email messages; the email-configuration module is programmed to; identify email messages addressed to email addresses; detect that the destination email address is associated with the email-configuration preference of the email user, the email addresses being the same as the destination email address; reconfigure email messages directed to the email destination and destined for a system of the device type according to the email-configuration preference of the email user. - View Dependent Claims (16)
