Can someone answer this question for me - I have owned BBs for several years; know BB pretty well - but I have never figured out exactly what "Level 1" is. Obviously, it sets a high level of importance to emails, or SMS messages, or whatever - but why does it have it's own "slot" in profiles like email, BBM, phone, etc. do.
You already stated what a level 1 message is in your post. These are priority level emails, pins, BBM and other messages (sms, mms, etc) or one of the previous from what you consider a high level contact. The reason for it's own category is so that you can set a ringtone to distinguish these items from the normal items.

You can use filtering on an email address to make messages from that address 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."
I tried this - but, when I click Menu, there is no entry listed for Filter Sender (ATT Bold with OS 4.6.0.67), nor does Forward provide an option to forward with level 1 notification
