Wireless IMAP folder synchronization
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 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.
Depending on how you have set up IMAP folders on your handheld and/or the
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:
■
If you need to create a folder on both your handheld and the server, see
“Creating and editing mail folders” earlier in this chapter. Be sure to select the
Also create on server check box as described in that section, After creating the
folders, continue with the following procedures for synchronizing IMAP
folders.

IMAP folders.
