Abstract
An electronic mail management system may have a standardized interface to which different mail providers may provide an adapter. The standardized interface may have a predefined set of functions that each mail provider may provide, and the mail management system may have a user interface through which the functions may be managed. In some cases, a mail provider may have additional or customized functions that may be added to the user interface and made available to an administrator. Through the user interface, an administrator may be able to add, delete, configure, and move mailboxes, as well as other functions.
