Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
You can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server. You’ll
need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your
e-mail server.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the
phone’s Inbox folder. Also messages in the phone’s Outbox folder are sent, and
messages that were deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the phone’s
message folders.
Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-mail
Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using POP3 or
IMAP4.
• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is
broken between the messages on the phone and their copies on the mail server.
The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing
from the phone and delete them. This prevents you from having duplicate copies
of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that
you move to folders created from anywhere except the phone.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you created and the e-mail messages you moved are
mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you
connect to your mail server. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you
connect to your mail server; create new folders or rename/delete folders when
connected.
