Famous collectors-mail facilitate the work with several mailboxes, along with the advantages there are a number of difficulties.

First of all, the functionality of the mail collection available only to authorized users of the postal system in the interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient. To gain access to the functions of collection, the user must register the mailbox of the recipient to log into it, and only then in its interface to configure the required parameters collection. In addition, you cannot change the name of the mailbox of the recipient - this requires exit interface mailbox of the recipient, to register a new account and its interface to configure.

The procedure of configuring the collector-mail quite complex, often require technical parameters necessary to complete the work of collection (for example, host, and port number of the primary server). In addition, a set of parameters specific to each of the postal system.

Thus, the registration of each box of the source can be complex and time consuming. If necessary, collect messages from multiple mailboxes sources, the tuning time can increase substantially.

Finally, messages received from the different boxes-sources are displayed in the interface of the mail system as a single list that can be inconvenient for the visual the preview and search your messages.

These drawbacks limit the use of collector-mail, making it less effective, and ultimately reduce the popularity of the postal system as a whole.

On the contrary, fully functional collector-mail with a simple and easy to use interface considerably facilitates the user to work with multiple mailboxes, stimulating growth in the number of users of the postal system. Thus, there is a real need in the solution, whose task is to solve the above problems and quick setup of collecting messages from the specified mailbox in a single mailbox of the recipient, and in the absence of last - chance registration mailbox of the recipient directly in the process of setting up mail collection.

Another aspect of the present invention is the provision of an interface for collecting messages to users who are not authorized on the secondary server, or even not having a mailbox of the recipient. This feature implements the external interface of the Collector, which has a separate registration form mailbox. This preserves the ability to control the Collector authorized users using both external and internal interfaces.

Another aspect of the present invention is adaptive adjustment of the collection, which consists in the following:

- external interface depending on the user's authorization. The achievement is highlighted by automatically verify the user's authorization, running the external interface of the Collector. Unauthorized users are encouraged to consistently fill in a few on-screen forms. For authorized user configuration includes specifying the data to access the mailbox-source in a single form.

- automatic detection and initialization of the specific acquisition parameters (such as host and port number of the server source, frequency of inspection, the location of forwarded messages, the need to use filters and other);

the choice of the mailbox name of the recipient in the interface Builder. The name of the mailbox of the recipient is automatically generated based on the data about the name of the drawer of the source, either specified manually by the user. This feature is available to users who are not authorized on the secondary server, on the external interface.

Figure 4 presents the scheme of the transitions between the on-screen forms the external interface of the Collector in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 5 presents the control algorithm Collector using the internal interface in accordance with the present invention.

The main components of the Collector are collecting module messages, internal and external interfaces. You can also use the database Collector, as a repository of information that can be implemented on the mail server.

The collection module is the main component of the Collector that can forward messages from a mailbox-source in the mailbox of the recipient. The collection module is a hardware-software complex, which can be installed on a dedicated server or the secondary server. The collection module includes two interrelated components: the scheduler and the CPU of the collection.

The scheduler is a software tool that allows to distribute the task of collecting messages and to control the processor of the collection.

The distribution of collection tasks are implemented using the schedule. The schedule contains a list of tasks by collecting messages and determines the order of their execution. The execution sequence of the tasks is determined plenerowe the ohms on the basis of available information on the frequency of check boxes. This parameter is specified by the user when configuring a collection or set by default. When the schedule also takes into account that the number of concurrent tasks must not exceed the maximum allowable. The generated schedule is stored in the data Collector.

Each task defines the parameters of the forward messages from a specific mailbox-source in a specific mailbox of the recipient. Parameters are specified by the user when configuring the collection or determined by the Collector automatically. The set of parameters for each task is stored in the data Collector.

The task of collecting triggers the scheduler. At the time specified by the schedule, the scheduler submits the task to the processor Assembly.

The processor Assembly may be a software tool that handles the task of collecting messages. After receiving the task from the scheduler, the processor of the collection defines the necessary parameters: the name of the mailbox and the mailbox of the recipient, passwords, access, host, and port number of the source server and other Specified parameters are read by the processor of the collection from the database Collector.

The collection of messages is performed by the processor according to the Protocol rors similar to existing e-mail systems.

The collection procedure is performed in the following sequence.

Received from the scheduler the task and determining on the basis of the data collection settings, the processor collecting checks in the mailbox-the source of the messages. For this purpose, the port of the primary server is sent a request containing the name of the mailbox. In response to the request, the primary server sends a list of messages available in the box-the source.

On the basis of the received data processor collection generates a list of messages that you want to retrieve from the server. When forming the list takes into account whether you want to receive messages that were in the box source at run time Collector user, and excludes messages that were previously received. This information is passed to the processor of the collection in the task settings.

If the list contains at least one position, the processor collection requests the message to the primary server. The source server transmits a message from mailbox a source processor of the collection, which, in turn, forwards the letter to the mailbox of the recipient. The original message can be stored in the mailbox of the source or deleted after upload - this parameter is set by the user during the configuration of the Collector and stored in the task settings after its launch. If necessary, delete the message, the processor passes the request to the origin server, which, in turn, removes the message in a box-the source.

After shipment of each soapserializer collection updates the list of received messages. A list of required, for example, if managed to get only part of the message, then the source server was for some reason unavailable. With the resumption of access to the source server processor collection determines which messages have already been received to prevent their re-sent to the primary server.

In addition, when you configure Collector user may indicate the need to collect only new messages. In this case, after starting the Collector by the user in this list stores all messages that contain the mailbox-source at run time Collector. Thus eliminating their shipment from the source server.

Further, the collection procedure is repeated: the processor receives from the source server to the list of messages, compares it with the updated list of already received messages and on the basis of this information generates a new list of received messages. The collection procedure is repeated as long as the list of received messages includes at least one position. In this case, the processor of the collection stores the task results and passes them to the scheduler, which updates the schedule.

Within one task collects mail from one mailbox-source in a specific mailbox of the recipient. If you are configuring collecting the user has specified several boxes of sources, the scheduler VK is uchet in the task schedule collect mail for each of them. Each of the tasks is similar to the described algorithm.

The collection module works automatically in the background that is transparent to the user and without his participation.

Functional Collector similar to the well-known solutions for collecting mail: http://help.gmx.com/mail/settings/mail/mc/ and http://www.mail.com/mail/mail-collector.

One of the differences of the proposed Collector from these decisions is to collect mail both registered and unregistered users of the postal system. This option is not available in the known solutions, the collection interface messages are not available to unregistered users of the postal system.

Provided by the Collector adaptive interface: a set of screen forms and their appearance depends on the fact the user's authorization and the possibilities of automatic determination of the parameters of the collection.

Other honors proposed Collector from known solutions is the ability to display messages received from each of the drawer-source, a separate list. The access interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient is ensured through the implementation of additional controls - links or buttons. Solutions-analogues of this function is not available. In addition, you can change the name of the mailbox of the recipient when setting up collection is octy. Function is not available in the decisions of the analogues, since the configuration of the collection is the inside interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient. The proposed Collector implements its own interface that provides this feature.

The external interface of the Collector is used to specify the mailbox of the source register if necessary mailbox of the recipient and start collecting. This interface is available to users authorized on the secondary server, and unauthorized users. Implemented external interface in the form of a set of screen forms provided outside interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient.

The screen form the external interface contains a set of elements:

- enter and save a name mailbox-source and access password;

- enter and save the registration settings mailbox of the recipient;

- start collecting messages.

The external interface depends on whether the user is authorized on the secondary server. An authorized user is provided only display the form in which you specify the name box and the password to it, then start collecting. An unauthorized user is prompted to consistently fill three screen form: in the first type the name of the mailbox-source, the second is to choose the name of the mailbox-receive the indicator and register, in the third - enter the password to access the mailbox to the source; then the user can start collecting messages.

The internal interface allows you to add a box-spring and to start collecting messages is part of the interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient and are available to users authorized on the secondary server.

The internal interface includes a screen form, which provides:

- list of boxes-sources;

- enter and save a name mailbox-source and access password;

- start collecting messages.

In addition, the internal interface provides controls to display messages in the interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient. These elements allow you to display messages from each box source separate list.

Authorization system stores the authorization data, and data on the links between boxes-recipients and mailboxes sources.

The authorization data is used by the Collector to access mailboxes. Data about interactions boxes with drawers-recipients are requested acquisition module in the collection process messages.

General algorithm Collector

Using internal or external web interface, the user specifies one or more boxes-sources and, if necessary, registers adiponectin, other acquisition parameters are determined automatically.

For the automatic determination of the parameters collection in the Collector saved list of servers mail systems. The list contains the data needed to access mail servers and collect them mail: domain, server name, port number, and other Data maintained by periodic updates.

After you specify the user-name, mailbox-source Collector determines which domain owns the mailbox, and initializes the parameters collection using the data domain from the list. If you initialize the settings failed, the user can specify them manually in the internal or external web interface Collector.

If necessary, collect mail from multiple mailboxes sources, the user sequentially registers each of them in the GC using an internal or external interface. For each mailbox-source Collector automatically determines the parameters collection using the available information about the servers, mail systems.

At the end of configuration start the collection procedure, during which the Collector periodically polls each box in the source and in the presence of a message sends it to the mailbox of the recipient. Depending on the settings of the original message can be stored on the primary server (mode rearview mirrors for SAV the project for a message) or deleted (message transfer). By default, the Collector operates in the copy mode, leaving the original message on the primary server. The user can view the received messages in the interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient.

As mentioned above, the Collector contains the following main components: an external interface, internal interface, the module collection.

The external interface is a set of web forms and is available at a particular address, which the user must enter in the browser address bar. The number of web forms depends on the authorization of the user on the secondary server.

The control algorithm Collector via an external interface presented on figure 3.

When you run the external interface of the Collector checks whether the user is authorized on the secondary server. If the user is not authorized, the screen form add mailbox-source, otherwise the shape of the Collector runs.

Adding mailbox-source is intended to specify the name of the mailbox. The name of the mailbox-source entered in this form is later used for automatic selection of the mailbox name of the recipient.

The form includes the following elements:

Enter the name of the mailbox.

- Click save changes.

After saving the changes, the Collector verifies that the authorization floor is the user on the secondary server. If the user is not authorized, go to the registration form for the new user, otherwise - in the form of garbage collection.

Form new user registration allows the user of the mail system does not have an account on the secondary server, register the mailbox to collect messages.

The assembler automatically generates the name of the mailbox of the recipient, using the name box of the source and displays it in a separate field. If necessary, the user can change the proposed Collector the name of the mailbox of the recipient.

The registration form for the new user includes a standard set of elements for entering account credentials (name and surname of the user, password, confirm password, and others).

After entering and saving the registration data Collector checks the registration of the mailbox with the specified user data. If a positive test result, the Collector registers a user account on the secondary server and creates a mailbox for the account, otherwise prompts the user to repeat the input.

After you create a mailbox recipient goes to the startup form for collecting messages.

The startup form collection allows you to add a mailbox-source, specifying options for access, and to start collecting the message is to contains the following elements:

enter the name of the mailbox-source;

enter the password to access the mailbox-source;

- start button Collector.

When moving in this form the Collector automatically initializes the parameters collection: the name and port number of the primary server and secondary server, the need to delete messages in the mailbox the source after shipment, frequency of checks, etc. to determine If the collection settings automatically failed, the user is prompted to manually specify the username, server name and port number.

Pressing the start button Collector stores the authorization and other parameters of the collection and makes a request to the origin server to check access rights to the box-spring. In case of successful authorization start collecting emails. When this scheduler Collector generates a schedule of tasks and saves it in the database Collector.

The scheme of the transitions between the on-screen forms the external interface figure 4 illustrates.

If the external interface passes the user, an authorized on the secondary server, the Collector automatically determines its mailbox as the mailbox of the recipient, so jumps immediately into a form of garbage collection messages. In this form the user adds the mailbox-source, indicating for him parameters is market access, and starts the collection of messages.

The internal interface of the Collector available in the interface of the mail system mailbox of the recipient. To call the internal interface provides a separate control interface of the mail system, such as a button.

The control algorithm Collector using the internal interface is presented in figure 5.

The internal interface implements the algorithm works similar to the external interface. The difference is that when running on the internal interface screen displays a form that contains a list of mailboxes. The user can select any of the boxes-sources and go to the advanced configuration collection settings (editing data on the location of forwarded messages, the necessity of their conservation in the mailbox of the recipient after shipment, etc., delete mailbox-source), or you can specify another box source. In the latter case, the user clicks the add mailbox-source, resulting Assembler displays an input form parameters access the mailbox-source.

The form contains the same interface elements that form and start collecting on the external interface, and implements the same algorithm.

Integration Collector mail system allows you to implement the interface of the mail system view messages from each box-the source is and a separate list. As a control, this function can be used, for example, the block with the names of the boxes. The address of each box of the source is displayed, for example, in the form of a link using which you can view the list of messages received from this mailbox.

The above variant implementation of the invention is conceptual, can be implemented in various modifications without departure from the essence and scope of the present invention. For example, an internal or external interface may be implemented as web forms, and using any other technology available, links can be replaced with buttons, etc.

Thus, the functionality of the mail collection is available as an authorized, and unauthorized, including unregistered users of the postal system. Developed method of collection control messages to users that do not have a mailbox to collect messages. The invention allows to simplify the setup of the mail collection through adaptive interface, which automatically detects the fact authorization of the user, and the parameters collection of messages, including the name of the mailbox of the recipient.
