Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, there are shortcomings in the mail data receiving methods of these two types of mobile terminals. Specifically, in the first type of mobile terminals, the headers, content and attachments of all mails are downloaded locally, but some mails are not user-friendly. What is concerned is that the user does not need to receive all the mail data. Therefore, this mail data receiving method wastes communication network resources.
