Abstract
A system for alerting e-mail activity status. The system has at least one e-mail server for integrating N e-mail accounts, at least one second server communicating with the e-mail server adapted to monitor at the e-mail server; at least one computer readable medium (CRM) adapted to receiving an e-mail alert wherein the second server identifies activity status in the e-mail server according to a set of predetermined parameters. The second server alerts the CRM on the activity status. The parameters may consist of entries to e-mail accounts type of actions performed in an e-mail account and other activities and events. The invention further comprises methods of applying the aforementioned system.

A system for notifying different users about an email operation conducted by a user, comprising:
- at least one processor that executes a code for:
- receiving at least one rule predetermined by a user associated with an email account, said at least one rule defines a specific set of email operations information allowed to be presented on a client device of a respective other user when said email operation is conducted by said user on an email received from said respective other user in said associated email account, wherein said specific set of email operations information is a subset of a plurality of email operations information related to email operations available for said user to conduct on said received email;
- monitoring an email server to gather activity data of the user, associated with said email account;
- analyzing the activity data to identify at least one email operation conducted by said user on a certain email received from a second user, by said user in said email account;
- in response to said identification, applying a rule engine implementing said at least one rule with respect to said second user as said respective other user;
- and
- according to an output of the rule engine, sending an alert to be presented by a client device of said second user, notifying said second user about said identified at least one email operation, said alert includes information related to said identified at least one operation.
A method for notifying different users about an email operation conducted by a user, comprising:
- using at least one processor executing a code for:
- receiving at least one rule predetermined by a user associated with an email account, said at least one rule defines a specific set of email operations information allowed to be presented on a client device of a respective other user when said email operation is conducted by said user on an email received from said respective other user in said associated email account, wherein said specific set of email operations information is a subset of a plurality of email operations information related to email operations available for said user to conduct on said received email;
- monitoring an email server to gather activity data of the user, associated with said email account;
- analyzing the activity data to identify at least one email operation conducted by said user on a certain email received from a second user, by said user in said email account;
- in response to said identification, applying a rule engine implementing said at least one rule with respect to said second user as said respective other user;
- and
- according to an output of the rule engine, sending an alert to be presented by a client device of said second user, notifying said second user about said identified at least one email operation, said alert includes information related to said identified at least one operation.

- second program instructions to monitor an email server to gather activity data of the user, associated with said email account;
- third program instructions to analyze the activity data to identify at least one email operation conducted by said user on a certain email received from a second user, by said user in said email account;
- fourth program instructions to apply, in response to said identification, a rule engine implementing said at least one rule with respect to said second user as said respective other user;
- and
- fifth program instructions to send, according to an output of the rule engine, an alert to be presented by a client device of said second user, notifying said second user about said identified at least one email operation, said alert includes information related to said identified at least one operation;
- wherein said first, second, third, fourth and fifth program instructions are stored on said non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
