About filters

You can create filters to specify which email messages are forwarded to your BlackBerry® device and which messages remain in your desktop email program. To forward messages to your device, when creating a filter, select Forward with Level 1 Notification (sends messages with higher priority) or Forward header only (sends messages with only the To, Sent, and From fields).

If the message does not meet any filter criteria and should not be forwarded, set the If no filters apply, send email to handheld field to No.

Filters are applied to messages based on the order in which they appear. If you create multiple filters that could apply to the same message, you must decide which one should be applied first by placing that filter higher in the list.

To create filters on your device, your device must be integrated with an account that uses BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ version 4.0 or later.

Create filters

1.In the messages options, click Email Filters.

2.Click the trackwheel.

3.Click New.

4.Set the filter information.

5.Click the trackwheel.

6.Click Save.

Notes:

To add a contact to the From or Sent to fields, click the trackwheel. Click Select Name. Click a name. Click Continue.

To make the filter detect messages from multiple contacts, use semicolons to separate contacts in the From or Sent to fields.
