Creating filters
Filters provide efficient ways to manage e-mail retrieval and storage. Filters may
be used differently based on the e-mail account to which you attach a filter.
Palm wireless e-mail account: When you initiate a Get Mail or a Get and Send
transaction, filters can be used to define which e-mail is downloaded to your
handheld.
Any POP or IMAP e-mail account: When you initiate a Get Mail or a Get and Send
transaction, filters can be used to define which e-mail is downloaded to your
handheld.
Business e-mail account: Filters can be used to determine which e-mail is
forwarded from your desktop to your handheld.
For any e-mail account, filters allow you to sort incoming e-mail into a folder or
mailbox you identify, to make reading faster and easier.
For example, you may want to file e-mail about sales meetings into a specific
folder. You can create a filter that automates this action, so that whenever you
receive an e-mail about sales meetings, it is immediately sent to the sales folder.

1. Tap the Menu icon .
2. Tap Options, and then tap Filters.
3. Tap New.
4. Tap the Filter name field and enter a short description of the filter.
