An electronic mail system includes multiple devices, on each of which a user may have an electronic mailbox. The electronic mailboxes can be synchronized, so that actions taken on one device are reflected on other devices. Each mail message is assigned a unique message identifier. When the message is read or moved from one folder to another folder, it is assigned a new message identifier. The system maintains a list of subsidiary identifiers for each message, which identifies the prior message identifiers for the message. The system identifies message identifiers that have been added since the last synchronization. During synchronization, by examining messages having a current or prior message identifier that is found in the list of subsidiary identifiers for a message having a new message identifier, the system is able to synchronize the mailboxes on the devices. Following synchronization, each synchronized device will have the same messages in the same folders, with the same message identifiers, and duplicates caused by taking the same action on two different devices are removed.

A method for tolerating collisions of identifiers for data segments is disclosed. The method comprises combining a primary identifier and secondary identifier of a first segment to make a combined identifier of the first segment and combining a primary identifier and secondary identifier of a second segment to make a combined identifier of the second segment. The method further comprises determining if the combined identifier of the first segment is the same as the combined identifier of the second segment.

The invention relates to a method for identifying a person to be identified having a certified data medium linking a primary identifier and a primary biometric characteristic of a holder of the data medium, acquiring, during a unique operation, the first biometric characteristic on the person to be identified and a second, distinct biometric characteristic, verifying that the person to be identified corresponds to the holder of the data medium by comparing the first acquired biometric characteristic to that of the data medium, storing the second acquired biometric characteristic and associating it with a secondary identifier and during a subsequent identification, acquiring the second biometric characteristic on the person to be identified and comparing it to the second biometric characteristic.

Distressed real property is offered for sale at real property parcel auction events. Such distressed real property presents an investment opportunity. The parcels available at real property parcel auction events are often identified using a primary identifier assigned by a taxation authority or municipal utility. Such identifiers can be autonomously retrieve, collect, and analyze primary parcel specific information. One or more secondary identifiers such as a street address may be autonomously extracted from the primary parcel specific information. Using the one or more secondary identifiers, secondary parcel specific information may be obtained. The retrieved primary and secondary parcel specific information is collected, organized, and analyzed by the parcel data collection and analysis system. The parcel data collection and analysis system then presents the collected, organized and analyzed primary and secondary parcel specific information in tabbed or tabular user interface formats.
