Sms message notification arrangement

Abstract

A method for applying personalized rules to an incoming e-mail message includes receiving an e-mail message addressed to a user and forwarding a copy of the e-mail message to a mobile communication device associated with the user. One or more pre-defined rules associated with the user are applied to the e-mail message. At least one of the pre-defined rules is identified that the e-mail message satisfies. The identified rule specifies that a text message such as an SMS message be sent to the mobile communication device indicating that an e-mail message satisfying the pre-defined rule has been received. The text message includes a link that allows the user to directly access the e-mail with the mobile communication device's user interface.

1 . A method performed on at least one computing device that includes at east one processor and memory, the method comprising:
 sending, by the at least one computing device to a second device in response to a message being sent to the second device that is considered a priority message, a real-time message that includes a link to the sent message at a location on the second device, where the real-time message is distinct from the message.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  where the message is an email message. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  where the real-time message includes a portion of the message. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  where the second device is a mobile communications device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  where the real-time message identifies a sender of the message or an email address of the sender. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  where the real-time message, upon receipt by the second device, indicates receipt of the sent message by the second device. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  where the message is considered a priority message based on being designated high priority. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 at least one processor;   memory; and   computer-executable instructions stored at least in part in the memory, where the computer executable instructions, based on execution by the at least one processor, configure the system to:
 send, by the system to a second device in response to a message being sent to the second device that is considered a priority message, a real-time message that includes a link to the sent message at a location on the second device, where the real-time message is distinct from the message. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  where the message is an email message. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8  where the real-time message includes a portion of the message. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8  where the second device is a mobile communications device. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8  where the real-time message identifies a sender of the message or an email address of the sender. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8  where the real-time message, upon receipt by the second device, indicates receipt of the sent message by the second device. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8  where the message is considered a priority message based on being designated high priority. 
     
     
         15 . At least one computer-readable media comprising:
 memory that comprises computer-executable instructions that, based on execution by at least one processor of at least one computing device, configure the computing device to perform actions comprising:
 sending, by the at least one computing device to a second device in response to a message being sent to the second device that is considered a priority message, a real-time message that includes a link to the sent message at a location on the second device, where the real-time message is distinct from the message. 
   
     
     
         16 . The at least one computer-readable media of  claim 15  where the message is an email message, or where the real-time message includes a portion of the message. 
     
     
         17 . The at least one computer-readable media of  claim 15  where the second device is a mobile communications device. 
     
     
         18 . The at least one computer-readable media of  claim 15  where the real-time message identifies a sender of the message or an email address of the sender. 
     
     
         19 . The at least one computer-readable media of  claim 15  where the real-time message, upon receipt by the second device, indicates receipt of the sent message by the second device. 
     
     
         20 . The at least one computer-readable media of  claim 15  where the message is considered a priority message based on being designated high priority.
