Note: The All setting does not mean that all information
included in each e-mail item downloads to your
handheld. Truncation settings (explained in a following
section) for long e-mail items still apply. Also, Mail never
downloads any attachments to your handheld. The e-mail
item and any text information appear, but the attachment
is left in your desktop E-Mail application.

Creating special filters
You can create special filters to control the type of e-mail items that
download to your handheld during synchronization. Special filters
work on the premise of ignoring or retrieving items that contain
specific information in their header fields.
To create a special filter, you must decide whether you want to ignore
or retrieve certain e-mail items. Then, based on that decision, you
must tell your handheld what it needs to look for in the To:, From:, and
Subj: fields to single out those e-mail items.
Send Only
During synchronization, only the e-mail items in
your handheld Outbox are sent to your desktop E-
Mail application; from there, they are sent to their
destinations.
Filter
During synchronization, all e-mail items in your
handheld Outbox are sent to your desktop E-Mail
application, and items in your desktop E-Mail Inbox
that meet specific criteria download to your
handheld. When you select the Filter setting, the
HotSync Options dialog box opens and displays
additional filter settings. See “Creating special
filters” later in this chapter.
Unread
During synchronization, only unread e-mail items
download to your handheld from your desktop E-
Mail Inbox, and all items in your handheld Outbox
are sent to your desktop E-Mail application.
