Level 1 messages?

[ChickletChips]

Newbie here!
I have a new bold - at the bottom far left is a message folder where all messages come in, is that the level 1? What's the purpose? I guess it seems annoying that a notification star shows up for the level 1 plus my email folder right beside it.

I don't have a Bold and I'm not sure what you are describing. Level 1 is a way of assigning an alert to a message type that predates the current system of tones and alerts that can be assigned to specific contacts. There is not a specific folder for Level 1 Messages.

In Messages / Options / General Options, enable the option to "Make PIN Messages Level 1" then send a PIN to yourself. You'll be able to see how Level 1 messages are distinguished.

Can you assign level 1 to a specific contact or is it only for PIN? Because I only see 'make pin level 1'

In Messages, highlight but don't click an email from a person.
Menu/Filter Sender
Name the filter: Patrick, for example.
Leave everything else unchecked.
Action: Forward
Then check "Forward with level 1 notification."

My model doesn't have that filter option when hitting the menu button on a specific contact BUT...I went into my email/ menu/ options/ email filters/ To & BBC Default/ Edit/ in the From field/ Menu/ Select Name/ picked addy from contact list / under Action: selected fwd w/ level 1 notif/ and saved all my changes. Then I went to my profiles and set the Level 1 messages to vibrate and it's not working. What step am I missing?

I think that's just the messages folder, which is redundant if you receive all your emails and sms/mms in separate folders. All messages from all sources are dumped into this folder. Mine is hidden because I don't use it.
