Systems and Methods of Handling Email Communication

A computer-implemented method for handling email communication comprising executing on one or more servers the steps of:

• receiving an email message sent to a recipient;
• determining a sender key representing a sender of the email message;
• checking the sender key to determine if the sender is recipient-approved;
• if the sender is not recipient-approved, emailing a donation request to the sender, and if the email message is not already in a pending donation space of the recipient, storing the email message in the recipient's pending donation space;
• receiving a confirmation that the sender made a donation that matches the donation request;
• and
• storing the email message in a post donation space of the recipient.
