Adding a signature to your e-mail item
A signature consists of information about yourself that is appended to 
your e-mail item as its closing. For example, a signature can contain 
your name, address, phone and fax numbers, and any other text you 
want to include. By defining such information as a signature, you save 
yourself the trouble of having to enter it every time you create an 
e-mail item. 
Adding a signature to your message is a two-part process. First, you 
create your signature. Then you select the Signature option. 
To create a signature:
1. Tap the Menu icon  .
2. Tap Options, and then tap Preferences.
3. Tap the Signature text field and enter the text of your signature. 
4. Tap OK.

Storing e-mail to be sent later
When you send e-mail from your organizer, it actually stores the 
e-mail in the Outbox folder until the next time you synchronize your 
organizer with your computer. During synchronization, all e-mail 
stored in the Outbox folder is transferred to the Outbox folder in your 
desktop E-Mail application. E-mail created on your organizer is sent 
out the next time you send mail from your desktop E-Mail application.
To send e-mail:
nAfter you create an e-mail item, tap Send. 
Editing unsent e-mail
You can make changes to an e-mail that has not yet been sent, as long 
as you have not yet performed a HotSync operation. When you edit an 
e-mail item, your organizer removes the item from the Outbox folder 
and takes you back to the New Message screen, where you can edit the 
item and resend it, save it as a draft, or delete it.

Draft e-mail
Sometimes you may not want to send an e-mail item immediately; for 
example, you may want to add additional information before sending 
it. Your organizer stores such e-mail items in the Draft folder until you 
are ready to edit them again.
Note:When you’re creating or editing an e-mail item, you can also 
save the item as a draft by canceling it. When you cancel an 
item, organizer opens a dialog asking if you want to save the 
e-mail item. If you tap Yes, your organizer saves the item in the 
Draft folder.

Deleting e-mail

perform the next HotSync operation. If you delete an e-mail item from 
the organizer, it is also deleted from your desktop E-Mail application 
when you perform the next HotSync operation.

2. Tap Delete. 
3. If you selected the Preferences option to confirm deletion, tap Yes.

Purging deleted e-mail
Because your organizer stores deleted e-mail in the Deleted folder 
until you perform a HotSync operation, deleted e-mail can 
monopolize storage space. To avoid or correct this problem, purge the 
contents of your Deleted folder. E-mail that you purge is still deleted 
from your desktop E-Mail application when you perform the next 
HotSync operation.
To purge the contents of the Deleted folder:
1. Tap the Menu icon  . 
2. Tap Message, and then tap Purge Deleted.
3. Tap Yes. 
Note:You cannot restore e-mail items after you purge them.
Message List options

displays information.

Message List displays the e-mail items in the folder you select.

HotSync options
HotSync options enable you to manage your e-mail more effectively 
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 
download all of your e-mail during local synchronization and only 
urgent e-mail during remote synchronization. Once defined, your 
organizer determines if synchronization is occurring locally or 
remotely and uses the appropriate settings for the HotSync operation.
To open the HotSync Options dialog box:
1. Tap the Menu icon  .
2. Tap Options, and then tap HotSync Options.
3. Tap the Settings for pick list and select Local HotSync or Remote 
HotSync.
Note:For more information about Local and Remote HotSync 
operations, see Chapter 6.
4. Tap the filtering option you want to apply:
All
During synchronization, all e-mail items in your 
desktop E-Mail Inbox synchronize with your 
organizer, and all e-mail items in your organizer 
Outbox are sent to your desktop E-Mail 
application.
Send Only
During synchronization, only the e-mail items in 
your organizer Outbox are sent to your desktop 
E-Mail application; from there, they are sent to 
their destinations.
Tap here

HotSync 
options  
						

							Chapter 5 Page 131
Note:The All setting does not mean that all information 
included in each e-mail item downloads to your 
organizer. Truncation settings (explained in a following 
section) for long e-mail items still apply. Also, Mail never 
downloads any attachments to your organizer. The e-mail 
item and any text information appear, but the attachment 
is left in your desktop E-Mail application.
5. If you selected All, Send only, or Unread, tap OK. If you selected 
Filter, continue to the next section.
Creating special filters
You can create special filters to control the type of e-mail items that 
download to your organizer 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 organizer what it needs to look for in the To:, From:, and 
Subj: fields to single out those e-mail items. Filter
During synchronization, all e-mail items in your 
organizer Outbox are sent to your desktop E-Mail 
application, and items in your desktop E-Mail 
Inbox that meet specific criteria download to your 
organizer. 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 organizer from your 
desktop E-Mail Inbox, and all items in your 
organizer Outbox are sent to your desktop E-Mail 
application. 
						

							Page 132  Communicating Using Your Organizer
To access the special filter settings:
nTap the Filter box in the HotSync Options dialog box.
Ignoring or receiving e-mail
The first step in establishing a special filter is to determine whether 
you want to ignore or retrieve e-mail that matches the information you 
specify.
To define whether to ignore or receive e-mail:
nTap the pick list in the center of the HotSync Options dialog box 
and select one of the following settings:
Ignore 
Messages 
ContainingTells your organizer to exclude the e-mail 
items that meet the criteria you define and 
download all other e-mail items during 
synchronization. In general, this filter 
downloads more e-mail during 
synchronization because it blocks only one 
defined subset of e-mail.
