Retrieve Only Msgs Containing Tells your organizer to include only the e-mail items that meet the criteria you define and to ignore all other e-mail items during synchronization. This filter has the potential to block more e-mail during synchronization because it downloads only one subset of e-mail. Defining filter strings E-mail items are filtered based on the information contained in their To:, From:, and Subj: fields. The information that defines what your 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. To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for the To:, From:, and Subj: fields simultaneously. Your organizer joins the filter strings for these fields using an implicit AND; once again, you do not need to add the logical connector. Your organizer does that for you. For example, suppose you want to receive only e-mail items from John Smith ([email protected]) or Jack Jones ([email protected]) concerning the Apollo Project. You would create the following filter strings: In the To: field: [email protected], [email protected] In the Subj: field: Apollo Project Your organizer interprets this as, "Accept e-mail items about the Apollo Project from John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept e-mail items from other people. Do not accept e-mail items from John or Jack about any other subject." When you define a string, note that your organizer searches for any instance of that sequence of characters. For example, if you create a filter that retrieves only e-mail items containing the string "info," your organizer considers "info," "rainforest" and "kinfolk" appropriate matches. Chapter 5 Page 131
