program for 6700 that will trigger alarms only when specific people send you email??
Sometimes I just miss my Treo 650....
I can't seem to find a program for the PPC that will trigger alarms only when specific people send you emails. For example, if my boss sends me something I wanna know by a tone (and vibrate) but I don't care if a newsletter arrives. I can't be the only one that wants something like this.

Does this exist for PPC?
No.
Bruce, developer of PhoneAlarm, has been asked about such a feature but he stated that coding for such an event across all Wm2003 and WM5 devices is just too difficult, though he may attempt it later for version 2.0.
Understand that coding for Treo's is easy in the sense that they basically have one device/OS, so developers only have that to worry about about, whereas there's upwards of 20 or more ppc devices, all working slightly differently.
Of course even with those odds, finding a stable/working Treo program is still an adventure (callfilter anyone?).
Did Callfilter ever develop ? He was gone year(s) as the Mantra Group (Callshield) and Toysoft caught up.
no, it seems to have stopped with 1.31. There were a couple of betas out there but I don't think any major updates. It actually worked for me except for SMS filtering, which would...wait for it...reset my Treo (unbelievable, right? )
If anyone is familiar with coding the 2.0 Compact Framework, then this wouldn't be too difficult of a task if you're willing to develop the program yourself.

my wife works at a bank and cant use her cell phone, so when she sends me email to my hotmail, I have my hotmail set to send a text message to my ppp6700 when i get emails from people only in my favorite list. that way I get a text saying I have new email from this contact. then I move from text to email and push the send/receive button and whoola. the whole process takes me seconds cause I've mastered it.
Yeah dlbrummels (good to see many TreoCentral names who jumped to 6700), I had CallShield 2.0 that did this for SMS. PPC apps are a bit harder to find IMO.
The challenge here I think is that this type of app would have to "piggyback" on top of Activesync. PPC programming is foriegn to me at this time so I was hoping something existed. Are there "hooks" or APIs for the Activesync app on the phone? I might play with code myself if I had a starting point.
