• Is - matches if the text matches the line exactly. For example, "is information" will match information and nothing else.

Wildcards

* (asterisk) - substitutes for multiple characters

? (question mark) - substitutes for a single character

To use an asterisk or a question mark in a string for a filter, it is necessary to designate it as a part of the string by typing a double backslash (\\) in front of the wildcard character (eg., \\*, \\?).

Examples of matches:

bob matches bob

bob* matches bob@att.net, bob234@youremail.com, bobby

*bob* matches "Email information for Bobby"

bob? matches bob1, bob9

bob\\* bob*

• People who receive a lot of e-mail each day: Alerting helps "weed out" unimportant messages and reduces the number of times you have to check your e-mail. Instead of blindly checking for messages several times each day, in case there's an important one, you will get an alert whenever an important message arrives.
• People who MUST stay informed, in a timely manner, about important e-mail.
• People who RARELY receive any new e-mail. If you normally don't check your account regularly, you may want to be alerted about ALL new e-mail. That way, alerting keeps you from missing messages you weren't expecting.

	To top of document




If I don't receive an alert, will I still get my e-mail?
Yes. An alert is a separate message about your e-mail; it never replaces or destroys the original e-mail message that it is about. Alerts never affect your actual e-mail.

	To top of document




What devices does Alerting work with?
Alerting works with your cell phone or your pager. If you are unsure about whether or not your cell phone can accept text messages, contact your service provider.

	To top of document




I don't see my provider in the dropdown list, how can I use Alerting?
For ease of use, we have listed several of the large cell phone and pager carriers. However, if your carrier doesn't appear in the list, or if you are having difficulty receiving the confirmation message, you can use the "Other Device" field. Simply enter your text messaging address (in the format of an email address e.g. 5105551212@archwireless.net) in the "Other Device" field and press Save. We will send a confirmation message to that address. When you enter the confirmation code and press Save, your new alerting address will be enabled.

Don't forget to configure an email filter to invoke your alert.

	To top of document




I have 2 pagers (cell phones). Can I use both of them with Alerting?
If either of your pager (cell phone) providers is listed in the dropdown menus, you can configure one in the "Pager" device section and you can configure the second in the "Other Device" section simply by entering the text messaging addresess for that pager. If your device provider is not listed, you will only be able to configure one device using the "Other Device" section.

	To top of document




Do I have to pay for Alerting?
Alerting itself is free, but using it may result in additional charges from your cell phone or paging service provider. Alerts are delivered in the form of a text message, and are considered as such by service providers. Therefore, if you pay for individual text messages that you receive, you can expect to pay your service provider for each alert you receive. To avoid being charged for text messages you do not want to receive (for example, while you are asleep), go to the Mobile Web section on the E-mail Options page and limit the time you are available by selecting Day of Week and time on/off. Alternately, select the "Filtering" tab and set your rules to alert you only about certain e-mail.

	To top of document




I'm going on vacation and don't want to be alerted. Do I need to erase my settings?
No. Simply change the availability of each of your receivers - your cell phone and/or your pager - by going to the "Mobile E-Mail" section of the E-mail options page, and unchecking the "enabled" checkbox for your alert. Your Settings will remain intact, but you will no longer receive alerts. (When you get back home, be sure to make your receivers available again!)

	To top of document




I no longer want to use alerting. How do I turn it "off"?

• Click on the Options tab located in the top navigation bar or the "Options" link in the lower left navigation bar in Med=ssage Center.
• Click on the Mobile E-Mail tab or select Alert My Mobile Device link under the Mobile E-Mail section of the Overview tab.
• Remove any information in the Number or PIN fields (they must be blank)
• Disable each of your devices by unchecking the "enabled" checkbox(es).
• Click Save.
• Edit each of your email filters which invokes alerting to remove "...alert my mobile device" as an action.





The "Number or PIN" field

Cell Phones with text messaging capability:
Your service provider will give you an email address for text messaging. The list below specifies the email domain/gateway to which we send alerts. Contact your cell phone service provider for help with identifying your PIN or number.


• AT&T/Cingular: txt.att.net
• Nextel: page.nextel.com
• Sprint PCS: messaging.sprintpcs.com
• T-Mobile: tmomail.net
• Verizon Wireless: vtext.com

Pagers (Only alpha-numeric pagers are supported)
Please find your pager Service Provider in the list below. For help with identifying your PIN or number, go to your service provider's Web page.

• Metrocall: page.metrocall.com
• SkyTel: skytel.com
• American Messaging: myairmail.com

The "Service Provider" menu




In order to receive alerts, you must tell us who your service providers are for your cell phone and pager.


	To top of document






The "Availability" menu




You probably don't want to be bothered if someone sends you e-mail at 3:00am. Your cell phone and pager are meant to make a racket whenever they receive an incoming message. To avoid being interrupted (or even awoken) by an alert, or to avoid possible charges for unwanted text messages, restrict receiver availability to those times when you will actually benefit from being alerted.

	To top of document






The "Time Zone" field




For your convenience, Alerting allows you to determine when your cell phone and/or pager are available to receive alerts. For this feature to work properly, we must know your current time zone. This means you may want to update this setting when traveling between time zones.
