98 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook
As with an Outlook account, if you set up an account to send and receive
mail using an IMAP4 e-mail server, all messages on the phone are copies of
the messages on the server. The folders you create locally on the phone and
the e-mail messages you move to these folders are mirrored on the e-mail
server. Moving a message on the phone moves the copy on the server the
next time you send and receive e-mail for that account. Therefore, messages
are available to you any time you connect to your e-mail server, whether it
is from your phone or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your e-mail server, create new folders or rename/delete
folders when connected. You can also set different download options for
each folder.
If you set up an account to send/receive mail using a POP3 e-mail server,
e-mail messages you move to the Deleted Items folder on the phone will
break the link between the messages on the phone and their copies on the
e-mail server. The next time you connect to send and receive mail, the e-
mail server will detect the messages that are in the Deleted Items folder on
the phone and will delete those messages from the e-mail server. All other
messages in other folders remain on both the phone and the e-mail server.
