System and method for maintaining wireless file folders at a wireless device

1. A system comprising:

a synchronization server implementing a messaging service to receive alerts indicating a message deletion from a folder in a folder hierarchy, to determine where the deleted message was moved by searching the folder hierarchy for the message, and based on the determination to initiate synchronization of data objects by automatically transmitting a message update; and

a wireless data processing device having synchronization circuitry to receive the message update from the synchronization server, and to detect a message deletion and message movement at the wireless data processing device from a folder in the folder hierarchy, and to initiate a second synchronization of data objects with the synchronization server over a wireless network by automatically transmitting a message update to the synchronization server as a message is being deleted or moved from the folder, wherein the message update includes two or more move events and indicates a delete message event or a move message event.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the move message event indicates that a new folder has been created.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the move message event indicates that a folder has been deleted.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the move message event indicates that a folder has been moved.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the move message event indicates that a new message has been filed in the folder.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the wireless data processing device detects move events indicating that one or more folders have been modified.

7. A wireless data processing device comprising:

synchronization circuitry to detect a message deletion and a message movement from a holder in a folder hierarchy and to initiate synchronization of data objects with a server over a wireless network by automatically transmitting a message update to the server as a message is being deleted or moved from the folder, wherein the message update includes two or more move events and indicates a delete message event or a move message event.

8. The wireless data processing device of claim 7 wherein a move message event indicates that a new folder has been created.

9. The wireless data processing device of claim 7 wherein a move message event indicates that a folder has been deleted.

10. The wireless data processing device of claim 7 wherein a move message event indicates that a folder has been moved.

11. The wireless data processing device of claim 7 wherein a move message event indicates that a new message has been filed in the folder.

12. A system comprising:

messaging service;

an interface communicatively coupled to the messaging service to receive alerts from the messaging service indicating a message deletion from a folder in a folder hierarchy at the messaging service; and

a wireless data processing device having synchronization circuitry to receive the message update from a synchronization server, to detect a message deletion and message movement at the wireless data processing device from a folder in the folder hierarchy and to initiate synchronization of data objects with the synchronization server over a wireless network by automatically transmitting a message update to the synchronization server as a message is being deleted or moved from the folder, wherein the message update includes two or more move events and indicates a delete message event or a move message event.

13. The wireless data processing device of claim 12 wherein a move message event indicates that a new folder has been created.

14. The wireless data processing device of claim 12 wherein a move message event indicates that a folder has been deleted.

15. The wireless data processing device of claim 12 wherein a move message event indicates that a folder has been moved.

16. The wireless data processing device of claim 12 wherein a move message event indicates that a new message has been filed in the folder.
