Send Only

During synchronization, only the e-mail items in

 

your handheld computer Outbox are sent to your

 

desktop e-mail application; from there, they are

 

sent to their destinations.

Filter

During synchronization, all e-mail items in your

 

handheld computer Outbox are sent to your

 

desktop e-mail application, and items in your

 

desktop e-mail Inbox that meet specific criteria

 

download to your handheld computer. When

 

you select the Filter setting, the HotSync Options

 

dialog box opens and displays additional filter

 

settings. See “Creating special filters” later in this

 

chapter.

Unread

During synchronization, only unread e-mail

 

items download to your handheld computer from

 

your desktop e-mail Inbox, and all items in your

 

handheld computer Outbox are sent to your

 

desktop e-mail application.

Note: The All setting does not mean that all information included in each e-mail item downloads to your handheld computer. Truncation settings (explained in a following section) for long e-mail items still apply. Also, Mail never downloads any attachments to your handheld computer. The e-mail item and any text information appear, but the attachment is left in your desktop e-mail application.

Creating special filters

You can create special filters to control the type of e-mail items that download to your handheld computer during synchronization. Special filters work on the premise of ignoring or retrieving items that contain specific information in their header fields.

To create a special filter, you must decide whether you want to ignore or retrieve certain e-mail items. Then, based on that decision, you must tell your handheld computer what it needs to look for in the To:, From:, and Subj: fields to single out those e-mail items.
