Message Filtering

Top  Previous  Next

The Inbox has a special option that none of the other folders have.  It has the ability to filter messages, showing only the messages you want to see.

 

You can filter the Inbox by selecting a filter from the Message Filter menu.

You can also choose a filter by selecting Inbox Filtering from the File menu.  In this example only unread messages are displayed.

You can tell PhonePad to default to one of the filters on startup.  For instance some users prefer to see only new messages on startup, or they want to see the messages they have to follow up first.

 

You can set a default filter by selecting Preferences from the Tools menu, and then selecting Messages-4.  Check the Filter Messages check box and then select a default filter to use.

There is a quick and easy way to filter messages by Unread Messages, Read Messages and All Messages.  In the status bar it shows how many Unread and Read messages there are in your Inbox, as well as the total number of messages.  You can click any of these to apply the relevant filter.
