Patent ID: 7844672

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of managing email in a client-server environment, comprising: a processor associating a non-truncated address list with an email, wherein the email originates from a client device that has been determined to have insufficient local memory for storing all of the non-truncated address list; the processor generating an identifier that can be used to retrieve the non-truncated address list from the server, wherein the identifier is a globally unique identifier (GUID) used to identify the non-truncated address list; encoding the identifier to generate a local part of a truncated email address, wherein the local part of the truncated email address is before an @ sign in an email address; encoding the local part of the truncated email address to generate a domain part of the truncated email address, wherein the domain part of the truncated email address is after the @ sign in an email address; replacing, in the email, the non-truncated address list with the truncated email address, wherein the truncated email address corresponds to a truncated address list, that comprises the local part and the domain part; and adding a display name to the email indicating that the non-truncated address list has been replaced with the truncated address list.
