Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable media for synchronization of electronic message accounts. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving information to establish an electronic message account on a first data processing system, the electronic message account being defined by setup information, and synchronizing the setup information onto a store on a second data processing system. In another embodiment, a method includes receiving information to establish an electronic message account, defined by first setup information, on a host and synchronizing the first setup information onto a device when the device is coupled to the host for synchronization. Systems, other methods and computer readable media are also described.
Claims35
A machine implemented method comprising:
- receiving information to establish an electronic message account on a first data processing system, the electronic message account being defined by setup information;
- synchronizing the setup information onto a store on a second data processing system.
A computer readable medium containing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- receiving information to establish an electronic message account on a first data processing system, the electronic message account being defined by setup information;
- synchronizing the setup information onto a store on a second data processing system.
A data processing system comprising:
- means for receiving information to establish an electronic message account on a first data processing system, the electronic message account being defined by setup information;
- means for synchronizing the setup information onto a store on a second data processing system.
A machine implemented method comprising:
- receiving information to establish an electronic message account on a host, the electronic message account being defined by first setup information;
- synchronizing the first setup information onto a device when the device is coupled to the host for synchronization.
A computer readable medium containing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- receiving information to establish an electronic message account on a host, the electronic message account being defined by first setup information;
- synchronizing the first setup information onto a device when the device is coupled to the host for synchronization.
A data processing system comprising:
- means for receiving information to establish an electronic message account on a host, the electronic message account being defined by first setup information;
- means for synchronizing the first setup information onto a device when the device is coupled to the host for synchronization.
A machine implemented method comprising:
- receiving information to establish a first electronic message account on a host, the first electronic message account being defined by first setup information;
- receiving information to establish a second electronic message account on a device, the second electronic message account being defined by second setup information;
- synchronizing the first setup information between the host and the device but not synchronizing the second setup information.

- receiving information to establish a first electronic message account on a host, the first electronic message account being defined by first setup information;
- receiving information to establish a second electronic message account on a device, the second electronic message account being defined by second setup information;
- synchronizing the first setup information between the host and the device but not synchronizing the second setup information.
A data processing system comprising:
- means for receiving information to establish a first electronic message account on a host, the first electronic message account being defined by first setup information;
- receiving information to establish a second electronic message account on a device, the second electronic message account being defined by second setup information;
- means for synchronizing the first setup information between the host and the device but not synchronizing the second setup information.
