A method, system and computer program product for storing document
information in an application service provider (ASP) which is connected
to a user terminal through a network, such as the Internet. The method on
which the system and computer program product are based includes
inputting the document information into the user terminal, inputting a
previously created e-mail address into the user terminal, the e-mail
address being confirmed by the ASP and corresponding to a storage
location in the ASP, and sending the document information to the e-mail
address via the network. The document information may be input into the
user terminal either manually or automatically and a storage folder may
be created for storing documents to the ASP. Where the user terminal is
an Internet fax machine, the Internet fax machine can be set up to
automatically send all document information received by the Internet fax
machine to the ASP for storage.
