Abstract: A system having a server for receiving a message from a sending device executing a messaging application and for sending a message notification alert to a recipient, the server having a processor and memory, the memory having computer executable code, comprising receiving the message from the sending device executing the messaging application, the message containing recipient address information provided by the sending device, determining, based on recipient address information, that the recipient is not associated with a recipient device having the messaging application, and transmitting the message notification alert to the recipient via an alternate communications method, the message notification alert comprising a link to view the message.

Abstract: A method for managing a messaging system for receiving at a messaging server a message addressed, storing the message, transmitting a notification of the presence of the message at the messaging server, receiving a request to retrieve the message, validating the first mobile messaging client device, transmitting the message and a message attribute from the messaging server to the first mobile messaging client device, and receiving at the messaging server from the first mobile messaging client device a message management notification generated by the first mobile messaging client device in connection with managing the message in accordance with the message attribute at the first mobile messaging client device.

Abstract: Disclosed arc a messaging system. apparatuses circuits and methods of operation thereof. A messaging client device is adapted to receive an impermanent message and to manage the received message in accordance with a message management policy associated with the message. An impermanent messaging server is adapted to validate said messaging client device as complying with message management policies prior to authorizing transmission of the message to said messaging client device.
