Managing e-mail messages and folders

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

ZLOODXWRPDWLFDOO\EHV\QFKURQL]HGZLWK\RXUGHYLFH7KHIROGHUV\RX

create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server.

• 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 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 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

GHYLFHRUGHVNWRSFRPSXWHU7KLVV\QFKURQL]DWLRQRIIROGHUVRFFXUV

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices

with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information without requiring a

physical connection. Unlike infrared, you do not need to line up devices

to exchange information through Bluetooth. The devices only need to be

within a range of about 10 meters (30 feet) in an open space environment.

You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as
