Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable device placed inside an enterprise, meeting various e-mail communication requirements of the enterprise and integrating software and hardware, in particular to an e-mail box which is convenient for the enterprise to manage by itself. Background Art

[0002] At present, the well-known corporate emails are all so-called "cloud mailboxes". There are two types of cloud mailboxes. The first is a "cloud mailbox" provided by a specialized service provider with centralized large-scale server hardware and unified software for paid services; the second is a "cloud mailbox" where the enterprise builds its own large-scale server hardware and software system and maintains it by itself. Obviously, since the self-built large-scale server hardware and software system and the enterprise "cloud mailbox" for self-maintenance require high costs and full-time AI administrators with sufficient professional skills, general small and medium-sized enterprises cannot afford this. Therefore, cloud mailboxes provided by specialized service providers for paid services are a common phenomenon at present.

[0003] The "cloud mailbox" provided by the service provider has limited storage space and personal accounts in the mailbox. Expansion requires additional fees, and the capacity and accounts cannot be expanded by yourself. For example, a cloud mailbox with 12 personal accounts, 5G personal space, and 20G corporate public space, the annual fee is usually close to 1,500 yuan.

[0004] In addition, if the company already has multiple domain names, it needs to bundle a corporate email address to facilitate unified email reception; or in order to facilitate the identification of emails from different departments in the company, it is necessary to set up functional email names for employees in different departments. Under the conditions of "cloud mailbox", these corporate needs are difficult to achieve and generally require additional fees.

[0005] Of course, the more important issue is that since the information storage hardware of "cloud mailbox" is far away from its service objects, not only are there inevitable physical barriers to the transmission and storage of email data, but there are also problems with the quality, speed and security of data transmission, and it makes it impossible for enterprises to get rid of their dependence on service providers in the long term, increasing the economic burden on enterprises. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the existing "cloud mailbox", the present invention proposes an email box that is easy for enterprises to manage by themselves. The mailbox box is small and portable, low-cost, and integrates hardware and software. It can be placed inside the enterprise, so the data transmission quality is good, the speed is fast, and the storage is safe; at the same time, the hardware expansion is simple, the software interface is friendly, and the operation is flexible and convenient. Without the need for a full-time AI administrator, you can easily set the mailbox name that reflects the characteristics of the enterprise and the characteristics of different departments of the enterprise, expand accounts, expand capacity, etc., to meet the various and personalized requirements of corporate email communications.

[0007] Obviously, the key to realize the present invention is that the hardware that meets the speed and capacity requirements of enterprise email communication should be sufficiently small and low-cost, and the software function should be powerful enough. Fortunately, the rapid development of contemporary memory chips and related CPU chip technology, as well as the long-term accumulation of my own software and hardware design technology, provide conditions for the realization of the present invention.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is: an e-mail box that is convenient for enterprises to manage by themselves, which is small and portable, and all hardware, namely a motherboard, a hard disk and software, are placed in a box of about 119x88x40mm. 3 in a small box.

[0009] The mainboard area of ​​the present invention is only about 108x84mm 2 , but it is equipped with memory chips, CPU chips, ports, and all related components that meet the functional and cost requirements.

[0010] The motherboard and the hard disk used in the present invention are installed by means of the guide groove of the aluminum profile, a piece of about 88x38x1mm 3 It can be installed with a small cover and 4 hand screws, which is simple and convenient.

[0011] The connection method between the hard disk and the motherboard of the present invention is that when the hard disk is installed in the aluminum profile guide groove, it is inserted into the hard disk socket of the motherboard, without the need for additional wiring. The hardware upgrade is convenient and fast, and the storage capacity of the box can easily reach 1,000 GB, far exceeding the "cloud mailbox".

[0012] The invention is provided with network cable and 5V power cable sockets and a power indicator, which is convenient for networking and power supply.

[0013] The present invention exists as an entity within the enterprise and is close to its service objects, which not only overcomes the physical barriers to data transmission and storage, improves the quality of data transmission and storage, but also makes it more convenient for enterprises to manage themselves and overcomes their dependence on service providers.

[0014] The software of the present invention fully supports Webmail, PC mail client, and mobile mail client; fully supports various mail protocols such as SMTP, IMAPs, POP3s, etc., so that all mail access is barrier-free, easy and natural; and also has anti-spam and anti-virus functions.

[0015] The software operation interface of the present invention is concise and friendly, and can flexibly and easily expand accounts and set mailbox names that reflect the characteristics of the enterprise and the characteristics of the enterprise departments, and can meet the enterprise's needs for email communication in various ways.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the email box is easy for enterprises to manage by themselves, which changes the virtual existence of the previous external cloud mailbox of the enterprise into a physical existence within the enterprise, so that the email data is stored under the control of the enterprise itself, which not only enhances the efficiency, value and security of data transmission, but also overcomes the dependence on cloud email service providers, avoids the economic burden of cloud service fees and the cumbersome process of updating and renewal, thereby improving the technical and economic benefits of enterprises using email boxes and creating a new way for enterprises to use email boxes.
