Abstract
An electronic mail message delivery system (100) includes an electronic mail network (113) for delivering electronic mail messages from originating devices to destination devices, the electronic mail messages including network addresses (212) for identifying originating and destination devices communicating the electronic mail messages, and including message data (214). A paging terminal (102) is coupled to the electronic mail network (113) for receiving the electronic mail messages, storing the received electronic mail messages including alias identification (208,210) of the originating devices of the electronic mail messages, and encoding messages including the message data and the alias of the received electronic mail messages for transmission to at least one selective call receiver (130). A paging transmitting means (124,126) transmits the encoded messages over a paging communication channel, and at least one portable selective call receiver (130) can receive the transmitted messages. Optionally, the at least one portable selective call receiver (130) can transmit a reply message through the paging terminal (102) to an originating device on the electronic mail network (113).
