Apple Mail icon Working with Apple Mail

Clicking on the Apple Mail button activates the Apple Mail window.

You can select specific mailboxes, to transfer all of the messages contained within those mailboxes, or transfer all messages to your iPod.

You can restrict which messages are available for transferring. You can have only unread messages, only flagged messages, and you can limit the messages to only those received within a given time period. Each of these options restrict which messages will be transferred to your iPod.

Finally, you can have Mail check for new e-mail before transferring messages to your iPod by selecting the Check for New Mail option. The first time you load the Mail window, and on every Sync operation, iPDA will tell Mail to check for new messages prior to transferring them to your iPod.

For version 1.x iPods, each message will appear as a Contact entry with @subject as the title. For version 2.0 iPods, the messages appear as Note entries within Mail. Regardless of where the messages are placed they are ordered based on the time sent, with the most recently sent messages appearing first.
