Howdy All!

I have a Treo 700w running Windows Mobile 5. Is there any feature like the
blackberry's have that let's me assign an "alert category" to a contact?
What I mean is if I make bob@domain.com an Alert Level 1, I can set Alert
Level 1 to notify me 24/7. And if you're not in that level and send me
email at a specific time (say at night) my phone will not beep.

The reason I ask is I want critical alerts from our Datacenter to wake me
up, but no listserves or the 1 or 2 SPAM that make it in.

I was also looking for 3rd party apps that would let me do this but was
unsuccessful.

Thanks!

Tom

Hi Ed,

Not the answer I wanted to hear, but I guess I'll have to take it.
Thanks Ed!
