It can be classified and managed in the recipient's email management database. The format of FIG. 2 is a manual method, that is, a method in which an e-mail sender selects and inputs a classification code directly, but when an e-mail is sent to an e-mail providing server of a sender, an e-mail sent automatically is selected. An email may be sent with the classifier included in the address.

An e-mail use purpose setting method for preventing infringement by spam mail according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, the person 101 who wants to send an e-mail is connected to the Internet 106 through a public switched telephone network 105 connected to a modem to an e-mail server 102 that provides his e-mail service.

Then, the person (101) who wants to send an e-mail performs an e-mail service and writes an e-mail to the recipient (202). First, the e-mail address input (301), the e-mail subject writing (302) and the e-mail content preparation are made. In operation 303, the file attachment 304 is performed.

Here, the email address input (301) is composed of the recipient's POP account name (107) ＠ (108) mail server name (109), the email sender can be classified by the email server of the recipient of the purpose and purpose of the email. In order to ensure that the classification code 110 can be manually entered before or after the POP account name 107, or a method of selecting and sending a classification code when sending an email after completing the email writing 202 can be used. It is possible. The mail server name is the same as the domain. The email subject writing 302 summarizes the content of the email to be sent simply. If there is a file to attach after the e-mail content creation 303 is finished, the file is attached.

Here, an embodiment of the classification code 110 will be described. The classification code F means family, friend, and the like, and the symbol I given to private people such as family, friends, and colleagues refers to information. The symbol, classification symbol A, which is given to an e-mail provided from a site registered as a member for information or service, means an advertisement. The symbol, classification symbol B, which is given to a site not registered as a member or commercial e-mail, is a business. The symbol or classification symbol C given to a business partner, a financial service site or a third party for business purposes means a community, which means a community or a civil society or a member of a social activity or public service campaign. , The classification symbol G means the government, and taxation in public institutions, municipalities, etc. Symbols and classification symbols given when using e-mail for administrative purposes such as wealth or fine notices S means study and school. Symbols and classification symbols given when using e-mail for purposes related to research or academic activities, etc. R Means return, which is given when an urgent reply is required for an email confirmed after receipt.

The above classification code is represented in English alphabet and upper and lower case and is not case-sensitive, and the classification code set above may be changed depending on the content when there is a more general word, and the exception new classification code is added.

After the email writing (202) is finished, if you did not enter directly before or after the recipient's POP account name (107) in the email address input (301), select the classification code according to the content of the email to send to the recipient It transmits to the recipient's email server 104 via the email server 102 of the teeth 101 (203). If the classification code has already been inserted in the email creation 202, the email is transmitted without selecting the classification code again.

Subsequently, the email sent by the sender 101 receives the classification code of the email from the recipient's email server and undergoes a classification storage 204 in the recipient's email management database. If the server is not set up so that the recipient's email server can classify the classification code, the received emails are processed in the order in which they were received.

In order to check the received e-mail, the e-mail recipient goes through a process of accessing his e-mail service providing server at a time that is convenient for him (205).
