The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders dependson the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and thenOptions. On the Message tab, select your options.If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, andthen Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message toanother folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tapMove to on the pop-up menu.Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail serverThe behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are usingActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.•If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlookwill automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select tosynchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. Thefolders you create and the messages you move will then be mirroredon the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inboxfolder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family forsynchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder andcopies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messageswhile away from your desktop 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 cre-ated, the link is broken between the messages on the device and theircopies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail serverwill see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox anddelete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicatecopies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer haveaccess to messages that you move to folders created from anywhereexcept the device. • If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages youmove are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are availableto you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from yourdevice or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurswhenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or re-name/delete folders when connected.
