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 PC.
■
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. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a
message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to
messages that you move to folders created from 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 PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you
connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected.
