Problems solved by technology

Also, potential attachments and their copies are not processed, and the overall email body and email headers are visible
Therefore, if two email bodies are not identical, they are treated as completely different, thus storing highly redundant
Furthermore, there is no adequate and easily visible visual display of individual emails, email chains, or even email strings
[0005] Thus, conventional handling of such complex email string structures, especially when including email copy functionality, results in the accessibility of the email information presented on the interface Inefficiency and wasted storage of emails in email server programs and email client programs

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Thus, the generation of the graphical interface itself takes place only on the client side, while the component 12 on the server is the interface generator that accesses the standardized e-mail data. Thereby, the data structure is made available on the server which is then accessible via the interface / API by the email client program. Finally, the email client program performs visual display and generates a graphical user interface.

[0029]Optionally, the email data copying component 24 of the client 2 copies the email data stored in the database 13 of the server 1 to its own local database 23 . In this case, the client 2 includes its own email data normalizer 21 similar to the server data normalizer 11 described above, and its interface generator 22 is configured to generate a graphics-based interface and thus provide a graphical user interface (GUI). Alternatively, the interface builder 22 and the GUI providing component can be implemented as two separate components...

Abstract

A method of low-redundancy e-mail handling, wherein: e-mail data is selected, attachments of e-mails comprised in the e- mail data are detached, stored and replaced with references accordingly, and wherein further e-mail threads comprised in the e-mail data are identified and split in separate e-mails, duplicates of e-mails are deleted while maintaining their e- mail references, differences between a first e-mail and an immediately preceding second e-mail of the same thread are identified, generating difference data, the first e-mail is replaced by the difference data, and a reference to the second e-mail is inserted therein, the e-mails and references to their predecessors and successors in the same thread are stored in a data storage, and a graph-based interface is generated for the stored e-mails and references, and an e-mail server computer device, e-mail client computer device, data processing program, computer program product, and computer data signal therefor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of low-redundancy e-mail processing, as well as e-mail server computer equipment, e-mail client computer equipment, data processing programs, computer program products and computer data signals thereof. Background technique [0002] In actual e-mail usage situations, for example, when forwarding or replying contains a long mail string (thread), the e-mail received by the user often contains multiple other e-mails. In cases where multiple senders are involved in a particular letter, the user may even receive the entire mail string more than once, or the user may receive multiple, partially overlapping mail strings from different senders. Therefore, when such e-mails are automatically processed in a conventional manner, a large amount of data redundancy occurs. [0003] Typically, systems for e-mail processing (such as IBM Lotus Domino / IBMLotus Notes, IBM Workplace Collaboration Services / IBM Workplace Managed Cl...
