ABSTRACT:
A computing system connected to a remote e-mail server through a network and a network adapter includes a basic input/output system (“BIOS”). The computing system accesses e-mail information by the BIOS accessing the remote e-mail server through the network during the booting of the computing system using the network adapter and downloading, during the booting of the computing system, e-mail headers from the remote e-mail server on the network. The BIOS parses the e-mail headers during the booting of the computing system and extracts an e-mail count for a user. The BIOS displays the e-mail count for the user in a defined format during the booting of the computing system.
