Patent number: 8688790Abstract: An e-mail system is disclosed that overcomes many deficiencies of, but is backward compatible with, existing e-mail systems. An exemplary method for communicating e-mail messages includes receiving an e-mail message from a sender addressed to a recipient, receiving a request for access to the e-mail message from an e-mail client associated with the recipient, and providing the e-mail client with access to the e-mail message. The method further includes receiving a navigation notification indicating a navigation away from the e-mail message followed by a navigation return to the e-mail message, and in response, withholding access to the e-mail message by the e-mail client, and providing the e-mail client with a message placeholder.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Email2 SCP Solutions Inc.Inventors: Thierry LeVasseur, Esteban Astudillo, Matt McLean

Publication number: 20120198017Abstract: An e-mail system is disclosed that overcomes many deficiencies of, but is backward compatible with, existing e-mail systems. An exemplary method for communicating e-mail messages comprises receiving, at a server system, an original e-mail message associated with a unique message ID that is assigned by the server system. The method further comprises storing a distribution list associated with the unique message ID and a thread participation status indicator for each of the one or more recipients, and, in response to an opt-out request received from one of the recipients, updating the distribution list to thereby produce a modified distribution list that does not include the requesting recipient. The method further comprises receiving a reply e-mail message in the same thread, and sending the reply e-mail message based on the modified distribution list such that the reply e-mail message is not sent to the requesting recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2012Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: EMAIL2 SCP SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Thierry LeVasseur, Esteban Astudillo, Matt McLean, Alex Wilson, Tina Yee
