Forwarding and filtering messages

You can determine how email messages are forwarded to your
handheld by visiting the web pages recommended to you by your
Service Provider. Each Service Provider will have a different URL,
but the web pages are generally referred to as BlackBerry Internet
Edition Settings.
The web-based filters offered by BlackBerry Internet Edition enable
you to specify which messages are forwarded to your handheld. A
filter consists of conditions (set by you) based on message
characteristics: message sender, message recipients, whether you
were directly addressed, CC'd or BCC'd, words in the subject line,
or the level of importance. If a message arrives in your mailbox that
matches the set conditions, you can set the filter to forward the
message to your handheld, forward with priority, send only the
message header, or not forward the message to your handheld.
Using the default filters
There are two default filters set in the BlackBerry Internet Edition
Settings web pages. The first filter, called To & BCC Default,
forwards all messages that are sent directly to you or sent as blind
carbon copies (BCC) to you. The second filter, called CC Default,
forwards only the header of messages that are sent as carbon copies
(CC) to you. (You can view the body text of the message on your
handheld by selecting More from the menu in the open message.)
If messages do not meet the conditions of either of these default
filters settings, the messages are not sent to your handheld. You can
edit or delete default filters as desired.
