Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus, a controller is configured to receive an e-mail stored in a mail server through a network interface, generate identification information corresponding to image data attached to the received e-mail, store, in a storage, the identification information, a transmission source address of the e-mail to which to the image data corresponding to the identification information is attached, and the image data corresponding to the identification information, in an associated manner, cause a printer to print a particular image corresponding to the identification information, identify the identification information in the particular image read by an image reader, retrieve, from the storage, the transmission source address of the e-mail to which the image data corresponding to the identification information identified in the identifying process, and transmit an e-mail addressed to the transmission source address retrieved in the address retrieval step to the mail server.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 5 ,\n wherein the controller is configured to: form, as the particular image, the identification information and a frame image on the sheet in the image forming process; identify, in the identifying process, the identification information and the frame image in the particular image; determine whether an image surrounded by the frame image identified in the identifying process is same as the image within an area surrounded by a frame image formed in the image forming process; and when the controller determines that an image surrounded by the frame image identified in the identifying process is different from an image within an area surrounded by a frame image formed in the image forming process, not execute the address retrieval process nor the e-mail transmission process, and stores the status information corresponding to the identification information identified in the identifying process as the status information indicating the third status.
