Using notification filters
For your Palm wireless e-mail account only, use notification filters to limit the e-
mail messages that are delivered to and trigger an alert from your handheld.
For example, when you travel, you may want to receive and be alerted only to e-
mail regarding a particular project. You can create a filter that permits delivery and
notification only when e-mail meets these conditions.
To create a notification filter:
1.
Tap Filter.
2.
Tap Edit.
3.
Use the If the pick lists to create criteria for the notification filter.
The two pick lists and the edit line combine to create a statement that identifies
the type of e-mail that triggers notification. For example, a filter might read, “If
the [From] [Contains] mweston@example.com, Then Notify Me.”
You can also use the And button to create a more complex statement, such as “If
the [From] [Contains] mweston@example.com, And if the [Subject] [Starts with]
Apollo Project, Then Notify Me.”
When you use this notification filter, only e-mail matching these conditions
prompts a notification alert on your handheld.
