A method for forwarding an e-mail message from an e-mail server to a mobile terminal is provided. An e-mail address of the mobile terminal is associated with an identifier and encryption information, receiving the e-mail message associated with the e-mail address and sent by the e-mail server. The method includes encrypting the e-mail message using the encryption information associated with the e-mail address and transmitting the encrypted e-mail message to the mobile terminal.

Messaging centre for forwarding e-mail

Methods and systems of connectivity for forwarding an e-mail message from an e-mail server to a mobile terminal having an e-mail address under the e-mail server are provided. An e-mail address may be associated with a permanent identifier and encryption information of the mobile terminal. After receipt of an e-mail message addressed using the e-mail address from the e-mail server, the e-mail message may be encrypted using the stored encryption information. The mobile terminal may be identified using the association between the e-mail address and the permanent identifier of the mobile terminal. The e-mail message may then be provided to a messaging center for forwarding to the identified mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can decrypt and/or unpack the message using the encryption information.

Connectivity function for forwarding e-mail

Systems and methods for sharing an e-mail address between a host system () and a mobile terminal () addressable by a temporary wireless identity (D) in an access network (). A terminal identifier (A) is assigned to the mobile terminal () or its user. The system comprises a connectivity function () and a messaging centre () that collectively maintain an association () between the terminal identifier (A), encryption information (C) and the temporary wireless identity (D). When detecting an e-mail message addressed to the terminal identifier (A), the connectivity function encrypts the e-mail message with the encryption information (C). The messaging centre determines the temporary wireless identity (D) of the mobile terminal and transmits the encrypted e-mail message to the mobile terminal which receives and decrypts the encrypted e-mail message.
