Abstract: A computer implemented method for managing messages of remote message sources over the Internet is provided. The method includes establishing message sources for a user, such that each message source has access and management information provided by the user. The method then proceeds to store the access and management information for the message sources in a user database. Each of the message sources is accessed over the Internet at user defined times using the access and management information. Messages are then copied from the message sources and then stored into a message database. Once in the message database, the user can log on to the Internet to view, access, and respond to any message provided for the user in the message database.

Abstract: A message management system for handling personal messages from e-mail and voice-mail message sources over the Internet includes a user database having access and management information set by the user. The access information is configured to gain access to each of the e-mail and voice-mail message sources and the management information is configured to set access times to each of the e-mail and voice-mail message sources. A procedures database holds access routines for the e-mail and voice-mail message sources. A phone server establishes phone and Internet connections to the voice-mail message sources. The phone server is configured to navigate through the voice-mail message sources to make a copy of messages resident thereon. An e-mail server establishes Internet connections to the e-mail message sources. The e-mail server is configured to navigate through the e-mail message sources to make a copy of messages resident thereon.

Abstract: An Internet message management portal implementing program instructions for managing messages of remote message sources by way of the Internet is provided. The instructions include program instructions for establishing message sources for a user. Each message source is associated with access and management information provided by the user. Program instructions are further provided for storing the access and management information for the message sources in a user database and for accessing each of the message sources over the Internet at user defined times using the access and management information. Program instructions are also provided for copying messages from the message sources and for saving the copied messages at a message database. Finally, program instructions are provided to enable web browser access to the portal and to the message database so that the user can access the copied messages, and the copied messages being displayed for the user to handle.
