Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for communicating email application data according to communication parameters, the method comprising: associating a plurality of predetermined canned bandwidth profiles with an email application, wherein the canned bandwidth profiles are not accessible to a user of the email application for modification; determining characteristics of an operating system associated with the email application data; based on the characteristics of the operating system, automatically determining first communication parameters for the email application according to a first predetermined canned bandwidth profile, wherein the first canned bandwidth profile is a low bandwidth profile that includes data compression, data decompression, selective part synchronization, reduced data transfer frequency, restricted attachment downloading, and selective transmission; communicating the email application data according to the determined first communication parameters; automatically determining changed characteristics of the operating system associated with the email application data; based on the changed characteristics of the operating system, automatically determining second communication parameters for the email application according to a second predetermined canned bandwidth profile, wherein the second canned bandwidth profile is a high bandwidth profile that includes less data compression than the low canned bandwidth profile, less data decompression than the low canned bandwidth profile, a greater data transfer frequency than the low canned bandwidth profile, less restriction to attachment downloading than the low bandwidth profile, and less restrictions on transmission than the low bandwidth profile; and communicating the email application data according to the determined second communication parameters.
