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 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 3 ,\n wherein the controller is configured to: execute, after execution of the identifying process, a status retrieving process of retrieving the status information corresponding to the identification information identified by the identifying process; when the status information retrieved by the status retrieving process indicates the first status, cause the storing process to store the status information by causing the storing process to change the status information to the status information indicating the second status after execution of the address retrieving process and the e-mail transmitting process; and when the status information retrieved by the status retrieving process does not indicate the first status, not execute the address retrieval process nor the e-mail transmitting process, and not cause the storing process to store the status information by causing the storing process to change the status information to the status information indicating the second status.
