The invention enables one or more agents to gather information from at
least one server on a network and automatically provide this information
to an inbox on a server and then providing it to an inbox on a mobile
device if a wireless connection to the mobile device is available. A
server agent facility provides for preprocessing requests for information
from the mobile device, including, collecting the information out of
band, filtering the collected information, and packaging the information
for delivery in a format suitable for the mobile device. A server agent
within the server agent facility may actively collect the information
based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, time,
event(s), user profile, mobile device profile, request(s), alert(s), and
historical behavior.
