Page 170 Communicating Using Your Handheld
Note: The All setting does not mean that all information
included in each e-mail item downloads to your
handheld. Truncation settings (explained in a following
section) for long e-mail items still apply. Also, Mail never
downloads any attachments to your handheld. 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 handheld 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 handheld what it needs to look for in the To:, From:, and
Subj: fields to single out those e-mail items.
To access the special filter settings:
■ Tap the Filter box in the HotSync Options dialog box.
Ignoring or receiving e-mail
The first step in establishing a special filter is to determine whether
you want to ignore or retrieve e-mail that matches the information you
specify.
