Abstract: A mobile communication terminal obtains analysis result from analysis of various information included in a received e-mail. The mobile communication terminal determines whether the received e-mail satisfies a notification condition based on the analysis result, and analyzes the importance degree of the received e-mail. If the received e-mail is an important e-mail satisfying the notification condition, the mobile communication terminal notifies the user that the e-mail is received irrespective of whether its cover is opened or closed. If the received e-mail is a non-important e-mail not satisfying the notification condition, the mobile communication terminal limits notifying the user that the e-mail is received until the cover is opened, i.e., the content of the e-mail is checkable by the user. This makes it possible to restrict notifying the reception of the e-mail depending on the e-mail's importance degree, while preventing the user from missing any e-mail of high importance.
