Abstract

A method and system for synchronizing a draft of an email is described. The system includes a computer device and a handheld device in communication with the computer device via a wireless communication network. The system further includes a saving module located in one or the other device to allow a user to save an email message therein as a draft. A sending module is located in the computer device (handheld device) for sending the draft therefrom to the handheld device (computer device). A send trigger module in the computer device (handheld device) issues instructions, which are unsolicited by the handheld device (computer device), that cause the sending module to send the draft from the computer device (handheld device) to the other device.
