Abstract

A system and method for management of networked devices via an email client (10). According to one embodiment, the present invention generally comprises three fundamental elements for managing a network: 1 ) an email client running on each of a plurality of network devices (8) and at least one central email server hosting network device management accounts (6); 2) an email client plug-in (12) for the purpose of using an email client as the management console for the network devices; and 3) an encrypted data encapsulation format (14) used wherein information is transported between devices.
