Mail service system

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To realize the flexible and effective mail service in response to the importance by deciding the order of transmission of a mail to called parties in response to the priority and releasing mails with lower priority when a storage device of a main box is occupied so as to store mails with higher priority therein. CONSTITUTION:When a user of a terminal equipment 1 requests the storage of a mail to a terminal equipment 2, a pass word noticed in advance is inputted. An exchange 9 uses a pass word setting function 16 so as to set the pass word inputted from the terminal equipment 1 to a header of the relevant mail to send it to a mail box 4 corresponding to the terminal equipment 2. The mail box 4 assigns as idle table 13 of a storage device 8. When no idle table 13 exists, the oldest registration time in a mail table 12 registered in a chain of a mail table management section 20 representing the lowest priority '1' is released and the table is used as an idle table 13 when the priority of the mail is not lowest.
