1. A method for receiving email by an electronic communication device comprising:
- a step of receiving an incoming call for email on a waiting screen;
a step of making an inquiry about center mail at a server using an email menu;
a step of performing, after having received email from said server, loop processing by a number of pieces of received mail;
a step of performing loop processing of two or more rules being preset;
a step of checking whether or not there exists email that satisfies a search condition designated in a specified rule;
a step of taking, if there exists email that satisfies said search condition designated in said specified rule, an action registered in said rule;
a step of returning a displayed screen to a previous state without performing an incoming call operation if, after completion of all loop processing, there is at least one rule whose condition is met during loop processing and all rules whose conditions are met are set so that the incoming call operation is not performed; and
a step of moving, if there is even one designation that an incoming call operation is to be performed, to the incoming call operation and displaying an incoming call screen.

Abstract
An electronic communication device is provided, which is capable of improving a way of using email applications and of enhancing efficiency of using memory. In a sub-menu of “email setting”, items of “email rule” and “folder setting” are provided. By using the “email rule”, search conditions that enable a name of a sender of received email or a name of an item to be specified are registered and actions to be taken when the conditions are met are designated. By using “folder setting”, “deleting schedule” is set. With timing of making an inquiry about arrival of email and/or received email at a center or renewing preset time for deleting, received email or email being already stored can be automatically deleted, moved to a folder or transferred.
