Systems and methods for remotely updating e-mail message status information for messages forwarded from a desktop e-mail account to a wireless handheld device are provided. The systems and methods of the present invention consist of a software solution that enables users of wireless handheld appliances to: access corporate e-mail by forwarding incoming e-mail messages from the user's corporate account to the handheld appliance; act upon the received e-mail messages at the handheld appliance; and to have the system update the status of the acted upon messages at the user's corporate e-mail account.
