  • Communications system using hierarchical queue structure for email message delivery and related methods
    Patent number: 8521907
    Abstract: A communications system may include at least one destination server for hosting email message boxes, and communications devices for generating email messages each associated with a respective message box. A delivery server may have a plurality of queues and a controller. The controller may store the email messages in a first queue, and attempt to send the stored email messages to the destination server at a first sending rate. The controller may also move email messages stored in the first queue to a second queue based upon a delivery failure. Email messages may be sent from the second queue at a second sending rate less than the first sending rate. The controller may also move email messages from the second queue to the first queue having a common characteristic with a successfully delivered email message.

  • Communications system providing message aggregation features and related methods
    Patent number: 8364769
    Abstract: A communications system may include a plurality of source message servers for storing messages for delivery to a user, a target message server having a target message box associated therewith, and an aggregation server for periodically aggregating the messages from the source message servers to the target message box for retrieval by the user. The target message server may provide a delivery failure message to the aggregation server based upon a failure to deliver a message to the target message box. As such, the aggregation server may increase a period of sending messages to the target message box based upon a delivery failure message therefrom, and thereafter decrease the period of sending messages to the target message box based upon a successful delivery of a message thereto.
