Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
Messages are displayed in one of five folders: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox and Sent
Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The
behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the
message list, tap Tools then Options. On the Message tab, select your options.
To create new folders, tap Tools then Manage Folders. For all service except ActiveSync
®
, you
can access folder options by tapping Tools then Manage Folders. To move a message to another
folder, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync
®
, POP3, or
IMAP4:
If you use ActiveSync
®
, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
®
will automatically be
synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by
designating them for ActiveSync
®
. The folders you create and the messages you move will
then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder
to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server
creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then
read the messages while away from your computer.
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken
between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you
connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and
delete them from the server. While this eliminates duplicate copies of messages, you will no
longer have access to messages moved to folders created anywhere except the device.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on
the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail
server, whether it is from your device or computer.
