‘Mail2SMS’ allows a subscriber to receive an SMS message for notifying the subscriber of new, unread, mail messages. Since the system’s application resides within a remote server, the subscriber’s computer does not necessarily have to be “ON”, or even connected to the Internet, in order to receive the notification. The subscriber can define various SMS characteristics (reception hour, addresses, etc.).

The subscriber can access at any time to the system’s web site, and define his own, personalized, set of rules regarding the SMS notification. The defined set of rules can be desirably changed. Filtration options: Temporal – the subscriber can define a number of ‘temporal windows’ during which he would receive notifications. Reception of the notifications only on selected days of the week and selected hours of the day, predefined by the subscriber. Addresses - The subscriber can define a number of lists, each defining an individual rule. The filtration is made by using phrases before/after the ‘@’ character, or addresses that include a certain word(s) or phrase(s).
