Claim Text:
1. An electronic mail data processing device comprising: a communication unit configured to connect an e-mail data transfer protocol to transfer an e-mail data item via near-field wireless communications with an external device configured to store the e-mail data item; an e-mail data retrieval unit configured to retrieve the e-mail data item transferred from the external device when the e-mail data transfer protocol is connected between the communication unit and the external device; an e-mail data storage unit configured to store the e-mail data item transferred from the external device and retrieved by the e-mail data retrieval unit; a browsing operation receiving unit configured to receive a browsing operation of an e-mail list implemented by a user; a control unit configured to implement: the control unit is further configured to implement the e-mail data transfer processing to cause the external device to transfer the e-mail data item in each indication unit of the indication device thereby to cause the e-mail data storage unit to store the email data item retrieved by the e-mail data retrieval unit, the external device has a plurality of e-mail accounts, which include a first e-mail account to an n-th e-mail account; the control unit is further configured to implement the e-mail data transfer processing which, in response to connecting the e-mail data transfer protocol between the communication unit and the external device automatically causes the external device to transfer a plurality of e-mail data items, at least one of the plurality of e-mail data items corresponding to a respective one of the e-mail accounts in each indication unit of the indication device thereby to cause the e-mail data storage unit to store the e-mail data items retrieved by the e-mail data retrieval unit even when the browsing operation receiving unit does not receive the browsing operation of the e-mail list implemented by the user, the electronic mail data processing device, further comprising: a selection operation receiving unit configured to receive a selection operation of the e-mail account implemented by a user, wherein when the first e-mail account is selected from the e-mail accounts by the user during transfer of e-mail data items corresponding to a second e-mail account in the e-mail data transfer processing, the control unit gives priority to transfer of e-mail data items corresponding to the selected first e-mail account over the transfer of the e-mail data items corresponding to the second e-mail account, and first automatically transfers the e-mail data items corresponding to the first e-mail account after which the not-yet-transferred e-mail data items corresponding to the second e-mail account are automatically transferred, such that in the e-mail data transfer processing, a predetermined number of e-mail data items out of a total number of e-mail data items are first automatically transferred per e-mail account in a specified order of the first to the n-th e-mail accounts after which the remaining e-mail data items are automatically transferred per the predetermined number of e-mail data items per e-mail account in the specified order of the first to the n-th e-mail accounts, and the predetermined number of e-mail data items is a maximum number of e-mail subjects simultaneously indicatable at once in the e-mail list on an e-mail list screen of the indication device and is common to the plurality of e-mail accounts.
