3. Compose your message.
4. Tap
Send
when you’ve finished the message.
The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your device and will be delivered in one of two
ways:
•
They are transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer
and sent the next time you synchronize.
•
They are transferred to your e-mail server the next time you connect. In Inbox, make sure the
appropriate service is selected on the
Services
menu. Then tap the
Connect
button (or
Connect
on the
Services
menu).
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of four folders for each service you’ve created: Inbox,
Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. The Deleted folder contains messages that have been deleted
on the device. If you are using IMAP4, you may see a Deleted Items folder. This folder is for
messages deleted on the e-mail server. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent folders depends on
the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap
Tools
and then
Options
. On the
Message
tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap
Tools
, and then
New Folder
to
create new folders. To move or copy a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold
the message and then tap
Move to
or
Copy to
on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with ActiveSync
If you move e-mail messages into a folder you create, the link is broken between these e-mail
messages and their copies on the desktop computer. When you synchronize next, the e-mail
messages in the folder you created will not be synchronized. In addition, e-mail messages that are
missing from the device Inbox folder will be deleted from the Inbox folder on the desktop
computer so that both Inbox folders match. This prevents you from getting duplicate copies of an
e-mail message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to the e-mail messages you
move out of Inbox except from the device.
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 are using POP3, folders will behave like they do when using ActiveSync.
•
If you are using IMAP4, the folders you create and the messages you move are mirrored on
the e-mail server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder
called Family, the e-mail server will create a copy of the Family folder and move the
messages into that folder. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to
your e-mail server, whether it is from your device, laptop computer, or desktop computer.
This synchronization of folders occurs when you create a new folder, move e-mail messages
into a folder, or tap
Synchronize Folders
on the
Services
menu. If you want to view the
messages in a folder while disconnected from your e-mail server, select the folder and then
tap
Folder
Available
Offline
on the
Services
menu. This downloads the e-mail message in
the folder to your device.
