Abstract
Dialable user profiles are established via a software user agent in a telecommunications system for filtering mixed-media messages, including electronic mail and voice mail. According to the software agent of the present invention, the user creates, stores and retrieves a plurality of user profiles which indicate how inbound messages are to be sorted and prioritized. The user selects and invokes a particular profile which is appropriate to a given situation, such as remote computer dial up, pay phone dial up, cellular dial up, etc. The user agent resides in a message server of the data communication network and interprets commands from the user via remote terminal or touch-tone pad to retrieve and apply the requested profile.
