Email message filters

About email message filters

You can create email message filters to specify which email messages are forwarded to your BlackBerry® device and which remain in the

email application on your computer.

Email message filters are applied to email messages based on the order in which they appear in your list of email message filters. If you

create multiple email message filters that could apply to the same email message, you must decide which one should be applied first by

placing that filter higher in the list.

Typing input methods

About typing in Arabic or Russian

If your BlackBerry® Device Software supports multiple languages and your keyboard displays Arabic or Russian letters, you can type in

Arabic or Russian using the SureType® input method or the multi-tap input method.

When you use the SureType input method, you press the letter key for each letter in a word once, even if two letters appear on the key. As

you type, a list of possible letter combinations and words appears on the screen. SureType technology selects letter combinations or words

from the list based on context. If you try to type a word or letter combination (for example, a web address or an abbreviation) that

SureType technology does not recognize, you can use the list that appears on the screen to build the word letter by letter. SureType

technology is designed to "learn" new words or letter combinations that you type and add them to your custom word list.

When you use the multi-tap input method, you press a letter key once to type the first letter on a key and twice to type the second letter,

if a second letter appears on the key.

SureType technology is the default typing input method for most fields. Multi-tap is the default for phone number and password fields.

You can set your typing input method for all fields to multi-tap.

Type in Arabic or Russian using SureType technology

Verify that your keyboard displays Arabic or Russian letters.
