Filter Strings - Samsung 010505D5 User Manual

Filter Strings

Your phone filters e-mail based on information in their To,
From, and Subject fields, called a filter string. You create a
filter string by listing the words you want your phone to find
and separating them by either a comma or a space. Each word
in the filter string is joined by an implicit OR; your phone adds
the logical connectors like AND or OR.
To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for
the To, From, and Subject fields. Your phone joins the filter
strings for these fields using an implicit AND, and adds the
logical connector for you.
For example, you might want to receive only e-mail items
from John Smith (jsmith@aol.com) or Jack Jones
(jjones@aol.com) concerning the Apollo Project. You would
create the following filter strings:
In the To field: jsmith@aol.com, jjones@aol.com
In the Subject field: Apollo Project
Your phone interprets this as, "Accept e-mail items about the
Apollo Project from John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept e-
mail items from other people. Do not accept e-mail items from
John or Jack about any other subject."
When you define a string, your phone searches for any
instance of that sequence of characters. For example, if you
define a filter that retrieves only e-mail items with the string
"info," appropriate matches would include "info,"
"rainforest" and "kinfolk."
