57	Abstract	AB	Anordnungen, um es zu ermöglichen, dass eingehende Mail von einem WAN Laufwerk zu einer Festplatte eines Notebook Computers übertragen wird unter Bedigungen, die für die Festplatte nicht belastend sind. Vorzugsweise wird eine WAN Karte eingerichtet, um einen Notebook Computer zu wecken, wenn Mailkapazität erschöpft oder fast erschöpft ist. Mail wird dann vorzugsweise vom Flash Laufwerk zur Festplatte verschoben, wobei dies der Überprüfung unterliegt, dass dies die Festplatte nicht übermäßig belastet. In einer Variante einer Ausführungsform kann die WAN Karte vorzugsweise eingerichtet sein, um einen Notebook Computer zu wecken, wenn überhaupt Mail empfangen wird. Wiederum wird Mail dann vorzugsweise vom Flash Laufwerk zur Festplatte verschoben, wobei dies der Überprüfung unterliegt, dass dies die Festplatte nicht übermäßig belastet. Sobald Mail zur Festplatte verschoben wird, führt die Anordnung vorzugsweise ein eingebettetes E-Mail Programm aus, das es ermöglicht, dass der Anwender eine vorhandene VPN Infrastruktur nutzt.
