CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Synchronizing IMAP mail folders wirelessly
If you create an IMAP folder in an account on your handheld that matches a folder 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 are
downloaded to the same folder on your handheld. Any messages moved out of the selected folder
on your handheld or deleted on your handheld are moved or deleted in the folder on the mail
server.
Prerequisites for wireless IMAP folder synchronization
Depending on how you have set up IMAP folders on your handheld and/or the mail server, you
may have to do some steps before you can wirelessly synchronize e-mail messages between your
handheld and the server, as follows:
• If you need to create a folder on both your handheld and the server, create the folder
on your
handheld and select the Also create on server check box.
• If there is a folder on the mail server but you need to create it on your handheld
, you do not need
to select the Also create on server check box.
You can turn folder synchronization on or off during a Get Mail operation, and set synchronization
options from a menu.
Did You Know?
You can synchronize
folders whose names are
up to 16 characters in
length. You can
synchronize up to 11
custom folders you
create, in addition to the
default folders Inbox,
Outbox, Drafts, Sent, and
Trash.
Tip
If you have a folder on
your handheld that
matches a folder on the
mail server, you do not
need to do anything
before synchronizing
wirelessly.
