Backing up mail databases
In most cases your e-mail is on your server, so you do not need to back up your
e-mail database from your handheld. If you want to make sure you have a current
copy of all your e-mail, you can back up all the e-mail databases from the
handheld.
To back up the e-mail database:
1.
Press Command + R.
Alternately, press Function + Menu , select Options, and then select
Preferences.
2.
Tap System.
3.
Tap Backup ALL Databases to select it.
NOTE
If you don’t select this option, HotSync operations are faster.
4.
Tap OK, or press Function + Enter .
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:
