Folder behavior with a direct connection to an email server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync
®
, POP3, or IMAP4:
ᮣ
If you use ActiveSync
®
, email 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 email 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 email 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.
