Method and cloud storage server for archiving email attachments

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for archiving email attachments and a cloud storage server. The method includes: receiving an email identifier and a cloud storage account number sent by an email client, where the email identifier is the identifier of a target email received by the email client; determining whether a target attachment corresponding to the target email has been stored in the cloud storage server according to the email identifier; When it is determined that the target attachment is not stored in the cloud storage server, determine the mail account corresponding to the cloud storage account; log in to the mail server according to the mail account; send the mail identification to the mail server; download the target attachment from the mail server according to the mail identification; ID correspondence. The embodiment of the present invention can save the storage space and traffic bandwidth of the mail client by directly downloading the target attachment from the mail server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication, and more particularly, to a method and a cloud storage server for archiving email attachments. Background technique [0002] In daily work and business activities, mail plays a very important role. In the process of email communication, files are generally delivered as email attachments. Because email attachments generally include some important files, it has become a common practice for email clients to archive email attachments on a regular basis. In general, email attachments can be archived locally on the email client, email server, or cloud storage server. [0003] When existing mail clients archive mail attachments, there are mainly two methods of archiving to local and to cloud storage servers. However, if email attachments are archived locally, the files are easily lost, and the speed of retrieving attachments is relatively slow. Due to the limited storage capacity, the mail clien...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although this method of archiving email attachments to the cloud storage server avoids some problems of local archiving, that is, the archiving of email clients, the efficiency of archiving is very low, wasting bandwidth consumption and system resources of email clients

And when multiple mail clients archive the same mail, it will increase the concurrent load and resource consumption of the mail server and cloud storage server
