Forwarding and filtering your email
You can determine how email is 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.
To forward or suspend message delivery
By default, all messages are forwarded to your handheld. You can
suspend message delivery at any time from the BlackBerry Internet
Edition Settings web pages. You may wish to suspend message
delivery if you’ll be spending a lot of time at your computer (the
messages will arrive there anyway), if you’re travelling out of
network coverage, wish to conserve battery power, or simply don’t
require your email to be delivered wirelessly.
In the BlackBerry Internet Settings page, the Forward messages to
my handheld
check box is selected by default. You can clear the
check box if you want messages to be suspended at your desktop.
At any time you can select the check box; message delivery will
resume after a short delay.
To create a filter
The web-based filters offered by BlackBerry Internet Edition enable
you to specify which messages are forwarded to your handheld. A
filter consists of criteria (set by yourself) based on message
characteristics: message sender, message recipients, whether you
were directly addressed or CC'd, words in the subject line, or the
level of importance. If a message arrives in your mailbox that
matches the set criteria, 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.
