Abstract

In some embodiments, electronic data may be automatically captured to provide a user with a universal Internet identity and e-mail address, comprehensive e-mail filtering and forwarding services, and e-receipt identification and data extraction. Detailed user e-mail preferences data stored at a central server may be selectively altered such that incoming correspondence is redirected in accordance with the user's preferences. Computer program code at the central server may parse incoming e-mail header information and data content, selectively extract data from identified types of correspondence, and forward the extracted data in accordance with the user's preferences. Additional computer program code may manipulate the extracted data in accordance with format requirements and display the manipulated data to a user in a desired format.
