Method for announcing incoming e-mails addressed to a specific computer via a mail server transmits a signal automatically to a telecommunications device in a computer's offline mode via a stored call number.

摘要

A personal computer (PC) (1) is linked via a network connection (2) to a mail server (3) with a mailbox for an online provider or an intranet. The mail server can use a connection (4) to contact an exchange (5) for a mobile telephone transmission company or a transmitter for a firm's internal telecommunications system. The mail server stores the mobile telephone number (6) belonging to a PC user for calling back to announce the arrival of e-mails. Independent claims are also included for a data carrier for storing an e-mail program to create a visual user interface on a computer screen and for a system for announcing in-coming e-mails addressed to a computer via an e-mail server.
