Abstract

A messaging system user's mailbox is moved using a method in which the mailbox is flagged as being moved and a message arriving for the user during the move is delivered to a holding area to await re-delivery to the mailbox after the move is completed. A combination of non-volatile memory and volatile memory is used to ensure the message's delivery in the event of a power loss or other system failure.
