Description

Apparatus and Method for servicing e-mail account as multi language}

The present invention relates to an e-mail account, and more particularly, to set up an account using a language (eg, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.) provided by the system to a user connected to an e-mail server when providing an e-mail account service. Afterwards, the present invention provides an apparatus and method for supporting an e-mail account in multiple languages, which stores the data in an independent data store and transmits the e-mail to or receives the e-mail from the outside.

E-mail refers to electronic mail, and is a system that can send and receive messages through a network in PC (personal computer) communication and is one of the basic services in commercial PC communication networks.

If you want to send an e-mail, write the message in advance, access the network, and run the mailing application to specify and send the other party's identity.

Just like a regular mail, the documents are put in an envelope, and the mail address, such as the address of the recipient and the conditions of delivery (delivery), are sent in the prescribed form. In the e-mail, a message is sent to the envelope and the contents. The message transfer agent (MTA) sends a message according to the instructions written on the envelope, and edits the message in the form of envelopes and documents according to the specified information, or temporarily accumulates the delivered message. It is divided into MUA (Mail User Agent) function, and UA function has user agency function to send / receive and accumulate message on behalf of user.

E-mail can send messages faster than mail or phone, leave messages even when the recipient is absent, and deliver messages reliably regardless of time to send.

Integrating the e-mail network that is commercially available in each country, the MHS (Message Handling System), a CCITT Recommendation x.400 series, is a system that can send and receive messages to the other's mailbox from anywhere in the world.

In order to use these e-mails, a user account must be set up. These user accounts can be set up through a site that provides free e-mail service, or a mail server for sending and receiving e-mails can be created. The account was set within a certain size limit using alphabetic or numeric characters or limited special characters.

In this case, since the user account used in the past uses a system account, only English letters, numbers, or limited special characters can be used, and the user's name using his / her own language (eg, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.) However, there was a disadvantage that does not indicate their company or organization.

Accordingly, the present invention was devised to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to use a language (eg, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.) provided by the system for an e-mail account that can be set only by letters and numbers. The present invention provides an apparatus and method for supporting an e-mail account in multiple languages so that a sender and a receiver of an e-mail can be easily distinguished.
