Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide message notification systems and methods. Briefly described, one embodiment of a message notification method can be broadly summarized by the following: receiving a new message at a first inbox of a recipient, the new message having a request for a triggering event to be set such that a notification message for the new message is sent to a second inbox if the triggering event occurs and setting the triggering event if a first messaging device is set by the recipient to allow sender-forced notifications. Other methods and systems are also provided.
