by selecting which e-mail items download when you synchronize 
your computer and your organizer. You can define different settings 
for local and remote synchronization. For example, you may want to

organizer is looking for is called a filter string. You create a filter string 
by listing the words you want your organizer to find and separating 
them with either a comma or a space. Each word in the filter string is 
joined by an implicit OR, so you do not need to enter logical 
connectors like AND or OR.
