CHAPTER 5
Going Beyond the Basics
You use many Palm™ VersaMail™ personal e-mail software features, such as
getting and sending e-mail, daily. Other features are used less frequently but are
especially valuable in certain situations. For example, filtering e-mail is helpful if
you are traveling and want to receive messages only from certain people or about
specific subjects. Filters and other special features are discussed in this chapter.
This section describes the following:
■ Creating and using filters to determine which e-mail you actually view
■ Setting network and connection preferences on your handheld
■ Managing mail settings
■ Adding APOP to an account
■ Adding ESMTP to an account
■ Setting advanced account preferences
■ Cutting and copying text from an e-mail message for use in other applications
■ Using the command bar
■ Viewing e-mail header details
■ Backing up your mail databases
■ Synchronizing IMAP folders wirelessly
■ Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
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 on the filters screen.
