  • Patent number: 8949384
    Abstract: A communication system may include a mobile wireless communications device, and a server having an email source interface module configured to communicate with an email source, and a proxy module cooperating with the email source interface module. The proxy module may be configured to communicate with the mobile wireless communications device using a first communications protocol and a second different communications protocol, authenticate the mobile wireless communications device by at least retrieving identification information therefrom using an initial display screen based upon the first communications protocol, and transmit a selectable settings interface to the mobile wireless communications device for accessing the email source and being based upon the second different communications protocol.

  • Publication number: 20130014242
    Abstract: A communications system may include a mobile wireless communications device having a unique identification (UID) associated therewith and configured to send and receive emails. The communications system may also include an email server configured to withhold sending queued email to the mobile wireless communications device based upon a change in the UID associated with the mobile wireless communications device. The email server may also cooperate with the mobile wireless communications device to prompt for entry of at least one user email access credential, and responsive to validation of the at least one user email access credential, send the queued email to the mobile wireless communications device.

  • Patent number: 8155678
    Abstract: An email communications system may include a plurality of wireless communications devices each supporting at least one markup language from among a plurality of different markup languages, and an electronic mail (email) server. The email server may include an account provisioning module for determining the at least one markup language supported by a given wireless communications device, providing at least one respective markup language provisioning template to the given wireless communications device based upon the supported at least one markup language, and generating a provisioned email account for the given wireless communications device based upon at least one provisioning parameter returned via the at least one markup language provisioning template. The email server may further include a mail-user agent module for forwarding emails to the given wireless communications device based upon the provisioned email account therefor.
