Abstract: In a method for reducing notifications associated with incoming emails destined to a user using a wireless device, after receiving an incoming email, a relay server checks whether there is undelivered email destined to the user. If there is no undelivered email, then a notification is sent to the user's wireless device. If there are undelivered emails, then the relay server calculates a lapse time since the last notification was sent to the user. If the lapse time is greater than a predefined period, a notification is sent to the user.

Abstract: A communications system having a first server (205) with an electronic mail (e-mail) database for managing e-mail accounts, for storing radio device addresses associated with those accounts, and for storing electronic mail messages associated with those accounts. Each message has a header and text. A gateway connects the first server to a two-way radio network. A radio device (200) has a electronic messaging application. The radio device is capable of two-way communication over the two-way radio network. The first server comprises message handling software arranged to send, to the radio device, a portion of a message of a predetermined size, including a header portion and a text portion. The radio device (200) can request more of a message.
