System and method for providing configuration data such as for configuring electronic mail access
First Claim
1. A system for a user device comprising a processor to access a plurality of source mailboxes, and a mailbox configuration data source to store configuration parameters to permit the processor to access the plurality of source mailboxes, the system comprising:
- a web server to allow the user device to access the plurality of source mailboxes; and
a configuration module to retrieve respective configuration parameters for at least one source mailbox from the mailbox configuration data source and without requiring input from the user device of the configuration parameters, and to configure the web server based upon the configuration parameters;
the web server also to allow the user device to execute the configuration module.

Abstract
A system, method and computer-readable medium provides configuration data, such as for electronic mail access. A configuration module retrieves the configuration data from a source of configuration data, such as a user system. The configuration in one aspect could be for accessing different electronic mailboxes of a user. Data object are generated. Each data object is submitted as a distributed object module to a web service. The web service in one aspect of the invention could be for a pass-through access for configuring electronic mailboxes.
