detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for reminding an email according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the method includes:

S101. Receive a new mail.

Specifically, the mail server receives the new mail, obtains the sender email account and the recipient email account of the new mail, wherein the new mail can carry the sender email account and the recipient email account.

S102. Obtain a reminder instant messaging account associated with the recipient email account of the new email, and query the reminder instant messaging account associated with the recipient email account, and query the reminded party bound to the reminder instant messaging account. Instant messaging account.

Specifically, the mail server stores the mapping relationship between the email account and the instant messaging account of the reminder and the instant communication account of the reminder, and the mail server queries the recipient email account according to the mapping relationship. The instant reminder party instant messaging account and the reminder mode instant communication account. For example, the mapping relationship is represented by a mapping table, and each entry of the mapping table stores an email account, a reminder instant messaging account, and an instant messaging account that is reminded. Optionally, the mail server can only set one reminder instant messaging account, that is, all email accounts are associated with the same reminder instant messaging account.

For example, the mapping table stored in the mail server is shown in Table 1:

邮箱账号email address	提醒方即时通信账号Reminder party instant messaging account	被提醒方即时通信账号Reminded party instant messaging account
alice@123.comAlice@123.com	8888888888888888	1234567812345678
bob@123.comBob@123.com	8888888888888888	4568912545689125
david@123.comDavid@123.com	8888888888888888	2581463225814632

Table 1

According to the mapping relationship of Table 1, it is assumed that the mail server receives the new mail, and the recipient email account of the new mail is alice@123.com, and the mail server queries the reminder party that the instant communication account is 88888888, and the reminder party instant communication account Is 12345678.

S103. Send a new mail reminder message to the reminder party instant communication account by using the reminder party instant communication account.

Specifically, the mail server is installed with an instant messaging application corresponding to the reminder instant messaging account and the reminder instant messaging account, and the mail server sends the instant messaging account to the reminded party instant messaging account according to the instant messaging application. A new email alert message, the new email alert message is used to prompt for new mail.

Optionally, before the obtaining the reminder instant messaging account associated with the recipient email account of the new mail, the method further includes:

Obtain pre-set interception rules;

Determining that the attribute information of the new mail does not satisfy the interception rule; wherein the attribute information includes one or more of a mail body, a mail header, a mail length, and an attachment type.

Specifically, the mail server is preset with an interception rule, and when the mail server receives the new mail, it identifies whether the attribute information of the new mail satisfies the interception rule, and if not, acquires the recipient email account of the new mail, and obtains the new mail. The reminder instant messaging account associated with the recipient email account, and the reminder instant messaging account associated with the recipient email account, and the instant messaging account of the query and reminder The number is bound to the reminder party instant messaging account. For example, the interception rule is the sender blacklist, and the mail server determines whether the sender's email account is in the sender's blacklist. If yes, the mail server does not remind the recipient of the new email. If not, the email server prompts to receive the email. New mail.

Optionally, before the receiving the new mail, the method further includes:

Specifically, the user terminal may send a binding request to the mail server, where the binding request carries the user's instant communication account (ie, the instantiated communication account of the reminded party), and the mail server immediately reminds the instant communication account of the reminder party and the reminded party. The communication account is bound.

Optionally, the sending, by the reminder instant messaging account, the new email reminding message to the reminder instant messaging account, further comprising:

Specifically, the mail server may extract a summary of the body of the new mail according to a preset extraction algorithm, for example, the mail server extracts the text of the preset number of words in the new mail as a summary, wherein the new mail reminder message may also carry the sender's mailbox. Information such as the account number, the title of the new mail, and the time of the new mail.

Optionally, the new mail reminder message includes a link address of the mail server indicated by the recipient email account.

The terminal receives the new mail reminder message, and the new mail reminder message carries the link address of the mail server, and the user can click the connection address to directly log in to the mail server through the recipient email account, so that the user can query the specific content of the new mail.

Through the above embodiment, when the user's email receives the new email, the email server determines the reminder instant messaging account and the reminded party instant communication account account of the recipient email account management, and prompts the instant communication account to the reminded party. The terminal device of the instant messaging account sends a new mail reminder message, so that the terminal device does not need to install the mail APP to immediately know that the new mail is received, and the number of application installations and the consumption of hardware resources on the terminal device are reduced.
