Abstract: A method and system provide qualifiers for electronic message header fields. The electronic messages may be email, text, or other messages sent via a wireless or wired communications networks. The qualifiers may facilitate (1) indicating the persistent nature of an electronic message header field; (2) electronic message originator identification; (3) user-defined rules being persistently applied to electronic messages by various entities as the electronic messages travel along; (4) user opt out of electronic message strings or groups; (5) the closing electronic message threads; (6) the ordering of electronic message header fields; (7) electronic message tracing; and/or (8) electronic message tracking. In one aspect, the qualifiers may be of a persistent or indexed nature.

Abstract: A method is described for providing access to an open mobile alliance (OMA) object, the method may be performed by an email network device, wherein the OMA object is in a mailbox, the method comprising: storing a reference as a metadata entry associated with the mailbox, wherein the mailbox contains the object and the reference identifies the object.

Abstract: Arrangements for forwarding content from a message storage server to a content sharing server of a Converged IP Messaging (CPM) system are described. An HTTP PUT request is issued by a user/client to the content sharing server, with the request identifying the location of the content on the message storage server. In response to the HTTP PUT request, the content sharing server issues a request, such as an IMAP download request, to the message storage server (either directly or via an intermediary). In response, the message storage server provides the content, without that content being sent to the user device.

Abstract: A method is provided for providing a meaningful representation for a conversation that occurs according to an OMA CPM protocol. The method comprises generating a friendly name for the conversation, wherein the friendly name comprises a string of characters that form a meaningful expression to a conversation participant, and associating the friendly name with the conversation.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing device recovery assistance may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least causing a device to be registered with a service, receiving a verification procedure from a platform associated with the service, the verification procedure defining device recovery parameters associated with maintenance of a loss status indicator indicating a loss status of the device, causing a device identifier associated with the device to be stored in a permanent storage medium of the device, and enabling device location reporting based on the received verification procedure in response to a determination that the device is classified as lost or stolen. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A method comprises determining a condition of a resource for a user device, the device having an advertisement application thereon; and sending a notification indicative of the condition of the resource to the advertisement application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a user to obtain services from an Instant Message and Presence Service (IMPS) server. The user is identified by a user identification (UserID). An application session is established, through an application client of the user, on the IMPS server. In order to establish the session, an identification code is established in order to be used for the session, and the session is established only if the identification code is not being used for an existing session established by the same user on the same server.
