Abstract:
1. A synchronization system, comprising: a library of account operations; a first native account having a first mailbox assigned a first globally unique identifier, the first native account an in-service account having direct access to the library of account operations, one or more such account operations configured to identify the first mailbox with the first globally unique identifier; and a second normative account having a second mailbox assigned a second globally unique identifier, the second normative account derived from an out-of-service account without native access to the library of account operations, the second normative account endowed with the library of account operations, one or more such account operations configured to identify the second mailbox with the second globally unique identifier, access to both the first native account and the second normative account being contingent on validation of a shared username and a shared password that allow both accounts to be accessed responsive to a single validation of the shared username and the shared password, the single validation of the shared username and shared password automatically validating an out-of-service access credential for the out-of-service account to open access to the out-of-service account via the second normative account, the out-of-service access credential being different than the shared password.
