Abstract:
1. An information processing system having an information terminal provided with a function for communicating with the exterior and an electronic device communicably connected to the information terminal, wherein the information terminal includes: a receiving unit that receives an electronic message, received from the exterior, in a corresponding incoming account from among a plurality of incoming accounts included in the receiving unit; a configuration unit that configures an incoming account, from among the plurality of incoming accounts, for making a notification of the reception of an electronic message received by the incoming account configured by the configuration unit; and a notification unit that, when an electronic message has been received by the incoming account configured by the configuration unit, notifies the electronic device that the electronic message has been received, and the electronic device includes: a determination unit that determines whether or not an electronic message has been distributed to the information terminal from a specific partner; and a configuration change unit that, in the case where the determination unit has determined that an electronic message has been distributed from the specific partner, changes the configuration of the configuration unit so that the notification unit makes a notification that the electronic message has been received from the specific partner; wherein the electronic device determines the electronic message received by the original incoming account during the period when the incoming account is changed by the configuration change unit by comparing electronic message information accumulated in the originally-configured incoming account with electronic message information about the electronic message received by the original incoming account during the period when the incoming account is changed by the configuration change unit.
