Creating And Using Filters - Palm 1047ML User Manual

CHAPTER 16
Tip
Use filters to organize
your incoming messages.
For example, create a
filter so that whenever
you receive email 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.

Sending and Receiving Email Messages

Creating and using filters

Filters provide efficient ways to manage email retrieval and storage. When you select Get or Get &
Send, filters determine which email 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.
