Abstract
A message storage system, for use with a communication network and in which a network presence is provided for an entity, stores a message from a sender to a network presence. The message storage system accepts a query including a specified property, and generates a mailbox including the stored message when one of the message properties is the specified property. A software agent processes the stored message in accordance with a processing preference included in attributes associated with the entity. The message storage system generates a summary of the message and updates the summary of the message in response to modifications to the message.
