In a main embodiment, prestage filtering is applied via user-definable filter parameters (e.g., reject, pass, or granularity filters) on data being transferred between a communication unit (201) and communication server (220). For downloading, e.g., email from a host post office (240), a communication server controller (229) preferably either forwards the filter parameters in a query object or message to the post office to apply and return qualified mail (406-414), or the communication server receives all unprocessed mail and applies the filters locally (418-420), only acknowledging as processed that mail which passes the filters. For uploading, e.g., email from a client, a client controller applies an upload prestage filter (432) so as to retain all filter-rejected email, while transmitting email passing the filters (434). Thus, only desired data transfers (i.e., those meeting user defined filters) are communicated over the expense-bearing networks between the remote unit and...

Claims

1. A method of communicating data units over a wireless network between a client communication unit and a host device via a communication server, the method comprising, at the communication server:

filtering data units based on a first set of user-selected criteria to produce filtered data units;
communicating the filtered data units to the client communication unit;
receiving a second set of a plurality of user-selected criteria, wherein the second set of the plurality of user-selected criteria has been previously prepared at the client communication unit and, when completed, has been sent to the communication server in a virtual session;
filtering subsequent data units based on the second set of the plurality of user-selected criteria to create subsequent filtered data units; and
communicating the subsequent filtered data units to the client communication unit.

2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising truncating a filtered data unit if the filtered data unit exceeds a first filter size.

3. The method according to claim 1 further comprising truncating a subsequent filtered data unit if the subsequent filtered data unit exceeds a second filter size.

4. The method according to claim 1 further comprising:

maintaining a summary index of data units that did not pass the first set of user-selected criteria to produce unfiltered data units; and
automatically forwarding the unfiltered data units to the client communication unit that pass the second set of the plurality of user-selected criteria.

5. A method of communicating data units over a wireless network between a client communication unit and a host device via a communication server, the method comprising, at the client communication unit:

communicating a set of a plurality of user-selected criteria to the communication server;
storing the set of the plurality of user-selected criteria locally in a memory;
receiving filtered data units from the communication server based on the set of the plurality of user-selected criteria;
reviewing the set of the plurality of user-selected criteria locally;
modifying the set of the plurality of user-selected criteria locally to produce a modified set of a plurality user-selected criteria;
storing the modified set of the plurality of user-selected criteria locally in the memory;
communicating the modified set of the plurality of user-selected criteria to the communication server; and
receiving filtered data units from the communication server based on the modified set of the plurality of user-selected criteria.

6. The method according to claim 5 wherein the steps of communicating occurs when a virtual session is established between the client communication unit and the communication server.

7. The method according to claim 5 wherein the step of modifying comprises modifying the set of user-selected criteria at the client communication unit while on-line with the communication server.

8. The method according to claim 5 wherein the step of modifying comprises modifying the set of the plurality of user-selected criteria at the client communication unit while off-line from the communication server.

9. The method according to claim 5 further comprising providing the client communication unit with several pre-defined groups of filter settings that are selectively communicable to the communication server.

10. The method according to claim 5 further comprising providing the client communication unit with several groups of filter settings that are manually activated.

11. A method of communicating data units over a wireless network between a client communication unit and a host device via a communication server, the method comprising:

filtering data units, at the communication server, based on a first set of a plurality of user-selected criteria to produce filtered data units;
communicating, at the communication server, the filtered data units to the client communication unit;
preparing, at the client communication unit, a second set of a plurality of user-selected criteria and, when completed, communicating the second set of the plurality of user-selected criteria to the communication server in a virtual session;
filtering subsequent data units, at the communication server, based on the second set of the plurality of user-selected criteria to create subsequent filtered data units; and
communicating, at the communication server, the subsequent filtered data units to the client communication unit.
