Viewing your Palm.com Inbox on your handheld
15
Creating a notification filter for e-mail you receive in your Palm.com account For your Palm.com wireless e-mail account only, you can create and use a
notification filter to limit the e-mail messages that trigger an alert from your
handheld. The notification filter doesn’t filter the e-mail messages themselves, just
the notification—all messages are still delivered.
For example, when you travel you may want to be alerted only to e-mail regarding
a specific project. You can create a notification filter that alerts you when e-mail
that meets these conditions arrives in your Palm.com account.
NOTE Although the notification filter alerts you when e-mail that meets the filter
criteria arrives, all other e-mail messages are also received into your Palm.com
account. You don’t receive a notification for other messages, however. If you want to
receive only specific e-mail messages in your Palm.com Inbox, you can create mail
filters. See “Creating mail filters” in Chapter 6 for more information.
To create or edit a notification filter:
1. Tap the Menu icon .
2. Tap Options.
3. Tap Notification.
4. Tap Filter.
5. Tap Edit.
6. Use the pick lists to create criteria for the notification filter.
The two pick lists and the edit line combine to create a statement that identifies
the type of e-mail that triggers notification. For example, a filter might read, “If
the [From] [Contains] mweston@example.com, Then Notify Me.”
You can also use the And button to create a more complex statement, such as “If
the [From] [Contains] mweston@example.com, And if the [Subject] [Starts with]
Apollo Project, Then Notify Me.”
