Abstract: A ball carrier having a hollow tubular support member for holding a plurality of balls stacked axially therein and a ball release tab configured to release one ball at a time from an open end of the hollow tubular support member. The ball release tab may have a first stopper portion, a second stopper portion, and a manipulation portion. The ball release tab may be biased in a first position in which the first stopper portion impedes exit of the balls and may be actuated via the manipulation portion to a second position in which the first portion is rotated away from the balls and the second stopper portion impedes exit of the balls. When the ball release tab moves from the second position to the first position, the second stopper portion rotates away from the balls, allowing the ball resting on the second stopper portion to drop out of the ball carrier, while the first stopper portion rotates back toward the balls, impeding the next ball from dropping out of the ball carrier.

Abstract: A method of providing remote configuration of autoreply message settings includes providing for an autoreply message configuration rule to be defined in terms of one or more specified conditions and one or more specified actions configuring autoreply message settings for a first email address; receiving a first email message addressed to the first email address and sent from a second email address; examining the first email message for the one or more specified conditions; executing the one or more specified actions configuring autoreply message settings if the one or more specified conditions are met by the first email message; and generating an autoreply message in accordance with the autoreply message settings configured by executing the one or more specified actions in response to receiving a second email message addressed to the first email address if the one or more specified conditions are met by the first email message.

Abstract: A system is provided for remotely configuring automatic reply message settings. The system comprises an email server configured to receive email messages addressed to an email address allocated for a user. The email server is configurable to generate an automatic reply message in response to receiving email messages addressed to the email address, to examine each received email message addressed to the email address for one or more specified conditions, and to execute one or more specified actions configuring settings for the automatic reply message when the one or more specified conditions are met by a received email message addressed to the email address.
