Managing mail filters
Filters provide efficient ways to manage e-mail retrieval and storage. When you
tap Get Mail or Get & Send, filters determine which e-mail messages are
downloaded to your handheld and in which folder the downloaded messages are
stored.
For example, you may want to file e-mail about sales meetings in a Sales folder.
You can create a filter that automates this action, so that whenever you receive
e-mail about sales meetings, it is immediately sent to the Sales folder, which you
created in the filters screen.
Creating mail filters
To create a mail filter, you select various criteria, such as To, From, and Contains.
This information makes up the filter statement.
For example, if you want stock quotes from your online brokerage service sent to
a folder you created called Finance, you can filter those e-mail messages and store
them in the Finance folder. The filter statement, which is displayed in the Filter
Editor, is shown in the following figure.
