System and Method for Pushing Information from a Host System to a Mobile Data Communication Device
In one embodiment, a mobile data communication device operable with a redirector component disposed in a wide-area data network. The claimed embodiment comprises a structure for manipulating a set of filtering rules configured for a user associated with the mobile data communication device, the filtering rules operating in conjunction with a redirector component disposed in a wide-area data network; and a structure for determining that a data item received at the mobile data communication device responsive to the filtering rules is a data item redirected from the redirector component based on examining a redirection flag associated with the data item.
1 . A computer-readable medium having a set of instructions executable by a processing entity disposed in a wide-area data L network, comprising:
a code portion for automatically detecting receipt of a new data item from a messaging host system for a user over the wide-area data network;
a code portion for determining if the new data item is to be redirected to the user's mobile device over a wireless network; and
a code portion for processing at least a portion of the new data item for transmission thereof to the user's mobile device.
2 . A mobile data communication device, comprising:
means for manipulating a set of filtering rules configured for a user associated with the mobile data communication device, the filtering rules operating in conjunction with a redirector component disposed in a wide-area data network; and
means for determining that a data item received at the mobile data communication device responsive to the filtering rules is a data item redirected from the redirector component based on examining a redirection flag associated with the data item.
