A client/server based system provides an integrated messages system for a user having access to accounts on a number of different terminal communication devices, including at least one wireless terminal device. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes an agent that formats messages according to the formatting requirements of a receiving terminal device. The agent is connected to a wireless communications server and is adapted to receive and distribute messages, such as e-mail, from and to a multiplicity of senders and recipients, such as terminal devices interconnected over a network. Messages received from a terminal device and intended for a user may be forwarded to the user by the agent via a wireless communications server and wireless terminal device. The system enables the user to receive the incoming message and to reply to such a message or to generate an original message. Upon receiving a reply or original message, the agent, based upon certain information received from the user or upon a profile, processes the reply or original message received from the wireless communications server and forwards such message to one or more recipients in the form of a standard communications application whereby the recipient is presented with a message that appears to have come from a typical terminal device rather than from a wireless device.
