Abstract
Message Synchronization of the present inventions begins with storing messages (e-mail, voice mail, faxes) in more than one (1) message repository allowing users multiple, differentiated access points (e.g.: IP Client, PSTN). From any of these points, messages can be altered to reflect any one or more of a number of defined messages states (e.g.: Deleted, Read, Unread). As a seamless service to the user, these changed states are reflected identically throughout the face of all access points, and the bodies of all repositories.
