CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving Email Messages
Advanced VersaMail application features
You can customize and optimize your experience using the VersaMail application in any of the
following ways:
• Creating and using filters to determine the types of email messages that are downloaded to your
device
• Managing settings for incoming and outgoing mail
• Adding APOP to an account
• Setting advanced account preferences
• Changing email header details
• Backing up mail databases
• Synchronizing IMAP mail folders wirelessly
• Working with root folders
• Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Creating and using filters
Filters provide efficient ways to manage email retrieval and storage. When you select Get or Get &
Send, filters determine which email messages are downloaded to your device and in which folder
the downloaded messages are stored.
If you create a filter, only messages that meet the filter criteria are downloaded
to your device. You don’t see any other messages that have been sent to you, even in your Inbox.
To avoid this, you must set up two filters. For example, suppose you create a filter to have all
messages with “onlinebroker” in the From field moved to your Finance folder. You must then
create a second filter specifying that all mail not containing “onlinebroker” in the From field
should be moved to the Inbox (or other folder you designate). If you don’t create this second filter,
only messages containing “onlinebroker” in the From field are downloaded to your device.
