Abstract

A method for verifying an email includes storing a first email address and a first address of a first computer system associated with a first email user, and a second email address and a second address of a second computer system associated with a second email user. The method also includes receiving a first email indicating the first email address as an email sender, the first email indicating the second email address as an email recipient. The method further includes retrieving the first address and the second address based on receiving the first email. The method also includes sending an inquiry message requesting confirmation of the first email. The method further includes receiving a response message based on transmitting the inquiry message. The method still further includes sending an email confirmation message in accordance with the response message indicating that the first email is valid.

9 . A secure email system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory coupled with the at least one processor and storing instructions operable, when executed by the at least one processor, to cause the secure email system:

to store in a database a first email address and a first address of a first computer system associated with a first email user, and a second email address and a second address of a second computer system associated with a second email user;

to receive a first email indicating the first email address as an email sender, the first email listing the second email address of the second email user as an email recipient;

to retrieve, from the database, the first address and the second address based on receiving the first email;

to send, to the first address, an inquiry message requesting confirmation of the first email;

to receive, from the first address, a response message based on transmitting the inquiry message; and

to send, to the second address, an email confirmation message in accordance with the response message indicating that the first email is valid.

10 . The secure email system of claim 9 , in which execution of the instructions further cause the secure email system to send, to the second address, an email warning message in accordance with the response message indicating that the first email is invalid.

11 . The secure email system of claim 9 , in which the first computer system comprises at least one of a mobile phone, a personal communication device, a device interface, or a combination thereof.
