on the mail server, you can wirelessly synchronize e-mail messages that you move
into or out of the IMAP folder, or delete in the folder.
When you synchronize a folder, any e-mail messages in the selected folder on the
mail server will be downloaded to the same folder on your handheld. Any
messages moved out of the selected folder on your handheld or deleted on your
handheld will be moved or deleted in the folder on the mail server.

mail server, you may have to perform some steps before you can wirelessly
synchronize e-mail messages between your handheld and the server, as follows:
