The All setting does not mean that all information included in each
e-mail item downloads to your PC companion. Truncation settings
(explained in a following section) for long e-mail items still apply.
Also, Mail never downloads any attachments to your PC
companion. The e-mail item and any text information appear, but
the attachment is left in your desktop E-Mail application.

Filter, continue to the next section.
Creating special filters
You can create special filters to control the type of e-mail items that
download to your PC companion during synchronization. Special
filters work on the premise of ignoring or retrieving items that contain
specific information in their header fields.
To create a special filter, you must decide whether you want to ignore
or retrieve certain e-mail items. Then, based on that decision, you
must tell your PC companion what it needs to look for in the To:,
From:, and Subj: fields to single out those e-mail items.
Filter During synchronization, all e-mail items in your
PC companion Outbox are sent to your desktop
E-Mail application, and items in your desktop E-
Mail Inbox that meet specific criteria download to
your PC companion. When you select the Filter
setting, the HotSync Options dialog box opens
and displays additional filter settings. See
“Creating special filters” later in this chapter.
Unread During synchronization, only unread e-mail
items download to your PC companion from
your desktop E-Mail Inbox, and all items in your
PC companion Outbox are sent to your desktop
E-Mail application.
