Abstract
A system and method automatically learns mailbox configuration conventions. The validator module determines a valid set of configuration parameters used for accessing an electronic mailbox of a user within a mail domain after receiving configuration information from the user that is limited in the configuration parameters required for accessing the electronic mailbox. A learner module accepts from the validator module a set of configuration parameters determined to be valid and generates configuration conventions for a mail domain. A database store is the generated configuration conventions. The validator and learner modules can be operative as part of a web server.
Claims31
A communication system comprising:
- a user device;
- and
- en email interface configured to be operative between the user device and an email box of the user, the email interface comprising
- a validator module configured to determine a set of valid configuration parameters to access the email box based upon configuration information from the user that is limited in configuration parameters,
- the validator module also configured to request additional information from the user and determine at least one subsequent set of potentially valid configuration parameters for reattempting access if an initial set of potentially valid configuration parameters fails,
- a learner module configured to generate configuration conventions based upon the set of valid configuration parameters, and
- a database configured to store the configuration conventions.

A method for making an email interface to be operative between a user device and an email box of the user, the method comprising:
- configuring a validator module to
- determine a set of valid configuration parameters to access the email box based upon configuration information from the user that is limited in configuration parameters, and
- request additional information from the user and determine at least one subsequent set of potentially valid configuration parameters for reattempting access if an initial set of potentially valid configuration parameters fails;
- configuring a learner module to generate configuration conventions based upon the set of valid configuration parameters;
- and
- storing the configuration conventions in a database.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium operative as an email interface between a user device and an email box of the user comprising:
- a validator module configured to determine A set of valid configuration parameters to access the email box based upon configuration information from the user that is limited in configuration parameters;
- the validator module also configured to request additional information from the user and determine at least one subsequent set of potentially valid configuration parameters for reattempting access if an initial set of potentially valid configuration parameters fails;
- and
- a learner module configured to generate configuration conventions based upon the set of valid configuration parameters.
