Abstract:

E-mail synchronization may involve synchronization of data types, such as a unique identifier (UID), flag, header, and content. Upon identifying a trigger (e.g., user input) to receive a plurality of messages, a client device an implement an optimized retrieval scheme. This retrieval scheme may involve retrieval of multiple data types (e.g., UIDs, flag(s), and text) for one group of messages before those data types are retrieved for other groups of messages. Retrieval schemes can be determined and dynamically adjusted based on user input so as to provide quicker retrieval of certain data of certain messages. Retrieval schemes can also be optimized when multiple mailboxes are present.
