Going beyond the basics
Many of the VersaMail application features, such as getting and sending e-mail,
you use 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
■ Managing mail settings
■ Adding APOP to an account
■ Adding ESMTP to an account
■ 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
■ Accessing corporate e-mail
■ Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
■ Viewing the wireless coverage indicator
■ Troubleshooting common account access problems
The chapter ends with a summary of the VersaMail application navigator controls
and keyboard shortcuts
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 in the filters screen.
