a person, using a first device, trying to electronically convey a message from the first
`device to a second device of the user, the second device being a handheld
`communication device, the method comprising:
`receiving, by the server, the message from the first device;
`identifying the identity of the person that is attempting to send the message to the
`user; and
`setting a process regarding delivering the message to the user using one or more
`rules based on at least a status of the user previously captured and stored at the
`second device, and an access priority of the person also stored at the second device,
`the status depending at least in part on the current activity or location of the user, or the
`current time, and the access priority depending on the identity of the person,
`wherein the server is aware of contact information of the person,
`wherein even if the message is delivered to the second device via contact
`information of the user, the server does not provide the contact information of the
`person to the second device to inhibit the user from sending messages to the person
`without using the server, and the server also does not provide the contact information of
`the user to the first device to inhibit the person from sending messages to the user
`without using the server,
`wherein the server can be restricted from accessing the status of the user from the
`second device,
`wherein the status of the user to help set the process depends at least in part on
`the current activity or location of the user, or the current time, and
