If you want to really clean up your old e-mails and don't want to scroll
through tons of messages, you can do the following:
1. Open the Messages application.
2. Tap a horizontal date mark, press the menu key, and touch-press
Delete Prior.
The date mark is simply a horizontal bar with dates. Just as you can
highlight e-mails in the message list, you can highlight the date marks.
A pop-up window prompts you for delete confirmation. Before you take
the plunge, remember that going ahead will delete all the e-mails before
the particular date mark. There is no way to retrieve deleted items from
your BlackBerry.
3. Touch-press Delete to confirm your deletion.
All e-mails prior to the date mark are history.
Filtering your e-mail
Most of your e-mail messages aren't urgent. Instead of receiving them on
your BlackBerry — and wasting both time and effort — filter them out. While
in the BIS client, set up filters to make your BlackBerry mailbox receive only
those e-mails that you care about. (Don't worry; you'll still receive them on
your main computer.)
The following example creates a simple filter that treats work-related mes-
sages as urgent and forwards them to your BlackBerry:
1. From your BlackBerry Home screen, touch-press the Setup folder.
2. Touch-press the Email Settings icon.
You are prompted with a login screen similar to Figure 7-1, earlier in this
chapter. If you haven't created your account, click the Create button and
create your BIS account.
3. Log in to the BIS client on the BlackBerry.
You see the BIS main screen (refer to Figure 7-2, earlier in this chapter).
4. Touch-press the e-mail account for which you want to set up filters.
5. Press the menu key and touch-press Filters.
You see a list of filters, if any, and an Add Filter button, as shown in
Figure 7-4.
6. Touch-press the Add Filter button.
