CHAPTER 18

Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

 

 

Tip

Create a filter, for example, so that whenever you receive e- mail about sales meetings, it goes immediately into a folder you create called Sales. Or create a filter so that stock quotes sent to you by your online brokerage service go to a folder you create called Finance.

Creating and using filters

Filters provide efficient ways to manage e-mail retrieval and storage. When you tap Get Mail or Get & Send, filters determine which e-mail messages are downloaded to your handheld and in which folder the downloaded messages are stored.

[ ! ] IMPORTANT If you create a filter, only messages that meet the filter criteria are downloaded to your handheld. You don’t see any other messages that have been sent to you, even in your Inbox. To avoid this, you must set up two filters. For example, suppose you create a filter to have all messages with “onlinebroker” in the From field moved to your Finance folder. You must then create a second filter specifying that all mail NOT containing “onlinebroker” in the From field should be moved to the Inbox (or other folder you designate). If you don’t create this second filter, only messages containing “onlinebroker” in the From field are downloaded to your handheld.
