Messaging (Postal Services)

Detailed Description

The Messaging module contains APIs for messaging services (also known as Postal Services), such as Email, MMS, SMS, and IMPS. This module also contains APIs that provide generic support services for any messaging service.

Postal Services provide applications with a set of C interfaces to high-level messaging functionalities. Postal Services provide a centralized framework to manage the various messaging capabilities of a wireless device.

The main goal of Postal Services is to control messaging interfaces within ACCESS Linux Platform by enforcing their consistency, and to facilitate the integration of new messaging protocols. A Postal Services client might be a unified messaging application, presenting to the user an overview of messages exchanged with all available messaging protocols.

The underlying architecture of Postal Services is based on a client/server model. Messaging protocols are integrated to the server architecture as plug-in components. The Postal Services Server communicates with its clients via an IPC mechanism allowing them to be executed within a different system process.
