ABSTRACT:
A system for facilitating, sending and receiving e-mail messages is disclosed. This e-mail system is supported by one or more main servers and a plurality of regional servers geographically distributed in populated areas, and are interconnected via a computer network such as the internet. An incoming e-mail message under this system is first processed and packaged by the main server to allow tracking of this message. The packaged message is then sent to the designated local server via a regional server. The local server receives the e-mail message and notifies or delivers the message to a client (user) e-mail device through one of several available notification methods. The e-mail device is a novel device designed to send and receive e-mail messages. It is a low cost device that may be a stand-alone device, a part of a multi-function device, or a part of a computer expansion card. The servers of the present invention can be maintained and operated remotely.
