Depending on the criteria that apply, messages can be forwarded, not forwarded, or forwarded as priority
messages on the handheld. Priority messages are visually distinguishable on the handheld and a
complementary notification control allows the handheld’s vibrating or audible notification to be limited to
only these priority messages. (Appointment reminders are regarded as priority messages.)
The filter flexibility allows users to control how they use wireless email. Users could quietly receive most
of their email at the handheld to read during their downtime, filter out regular “bulk” mailings that can be
left until later and have messages from their superiors or immediate workgroup notify them to ensure a
quick response. Still other users could set filters to only forward important email and set the handheld to
notify them of every message that arrives on the handheld.
