Creating Special Filters

You can create special filters to control the type of messages that
download to your Palm III organizer during synchronization. Special
filters work on the premise of ignoring or retrieving messages that
contain specific information in their header fields.

To create a special filter, you must decide whether you want to ignore
or retrieve certain messages. Then, based on that decision, you must
tell your Palm III organizer what it needs to look for in the To, From,
and Subject header fields to single out those messages.

To access the special filter settings:

Tap the Filter box in the HotSync Options dialog to display the

filter settings.
