Applications
If you are sending an SMS message and want to know if it was received, tap Edit - Options,
and select Request SMS text message delivery notification before sending the message.
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you’ve created:
Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains
messages that have been deleted on the terminal. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent
Items folders depends on the options you selected. In the message list, tap Tools - Options.
On the Message tab, select your options.
To organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools - Manage Folders to create new
folders. To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the
message, then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder Behavior with ActiveSync and Direct Connection to Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync,
SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
• If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are
automatically synchronized with your terminal. You can select to synchronize
additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and
the messages you move are 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 host computer.
• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link
is broken between the messages on your terminal and their copies on the mail
server. The next time you connect, the mail server notes the messages missing
from the terminal Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from
having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have
access to messages moved to folders created from anywhere except the terminal.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail 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 terminal or host computer. This
synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create
new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.
