IMPORTANT If you create a filter, only messages that meet the filter criteria are
downloaded to your handheld. You do not see any other messages that have been
sent to you, even in your Inbox. To avoid this, you must set up two filters as described
in the following procedure. Using the example above, the first filter would have all
mail containing “onlinebroker” in the “From” field moved to the “Finance” folder.
For the second filter, you should specify that all mail NOT containing “onlinebroker”
in the “From” field should be moved to the Inbox (or other folder you designate). If
you do not create this second filter, then only messages containing “onlinebroker” in
the “From” field are downloaded to your handheld.

might read, “If the [Subject] [Contains] sales meeting, Then get mail and move
