Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0190904A1] A method and an apparatus are disclosed for providing specialized e-mail services to a sender, recipient or both, over a communication network. An online session between a sender (12) and an e-mail center (30) is established. The sender (12) then sends an e-mail packet including an e-mail message destined to a recipient together with a request for a specified verification of e-mail service to the e-mail center (30). This e-mail is then transmitted from the e-mail center (30) computer to an e-mail address accessible by a computer (22) operated by the recipient. When the recipient (22) at least receives said e-mail, the e-mail center (30) receives notification. And, in its turn, the e-mail center (30) provides at least the requested e-mail notification to the sender (12).
