Defining filter strings
Acer s10 filters email items based on information in their To, From, and Subject fields,
called a filter string. You create a filter string by listing the words you want Acer s10 to
find and separating them by either a comma or a space. Each word in the filter string
is joined by an implicit OR; Acer s10 adds the logical connectors like AND or OR.
To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for the To, From, and
Subject fields. Acer s10 joins the filter strings for these fields using an implicit AND,
and adds the logical connector for you.
For example, you might want to receive only email items from John Smith
(jsmith@aol.com) or Jack Jones (jjones@aol.com) concerning the Apollo Project. You
would create the following filter strings:
• In the To field: jsmith@aol.com, jjones@aol.com
• In the Subject field: Apollo Project
Acer s10 interprets this as, “Accept email items about the Apollo Project from John
Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept email items from other people. Do not accept email
items from John or Jack about any other subject.”
When you define a string, Acer s10 searches for any instance of that sequence of
characters. For example, if you define a filter that retrieves only email items with the
string “info,” appropriate matches would include “info,” “rainforest” and “kinfolk.”
