Method for realizing real-time display of web mail receiving progress

Abstract

The invention provides a method for realizing real-time display of Web mail receiving progress. The method comprises the following steps that: a user clicks to receive mails; a browser sends an ajax mail receiving request to a mail server which begins to receive the mails, and the request is returned till all mails are received; the browser sends an ajax polling request to the server to receive mail state; the browser receives the receiving state transmitted by the mail server in real time and then updates an HTML progress bar; the browser continues to send a polling request so as to continue receiving the mail receiving state, and repeats the course in this way; and the mail receiving request of the browser is returned when mail receiving is completed. By adopting the method, a user can change passive 'pull' into active 'push' during mail receiving; ajax based on server 'pull' ensures that the information or the state can be transmitted to a front-end browser in real time, thereby solving the problem of passive waiting of the user. More specifically, when a user receives a plurality of large mails, the user can see a progress bar during mail receiving, which is convenient for the user to carry out corresponding operation; thus, the method improves the efficiency and strengthens user experience.
