  • Publication number: 20150350152
    Abstract: In an approach to managing messages received by a mobile computing device, a computer retrieves a plurality of settings associated with the mobile computing device, with at least one of the plurality of settings associating a characteristic of the mobile computing device with an indication to initiate message retrieval. The computer determines the characteristic of the mobile computing device and determines, based, at least in part, on the characteristic of the mobile computing device, whether the associated indication to initiate message retrieval is received. Responsive to determining the associated indication to initiate message retrieval is received, the computer retrieves at least one message received by the mobile computing device and transmits the at least one message to a user of the mobile computing device.
