Microsoft® Pocket Outlook4-17Managing e-mail messages and foldersThe 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 Outlook willautomatically be sunchronized 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 mirrored onthe server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folderto 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 messages whileaway 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 created,the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copieson the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will seethat the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete themfrom the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of amessage, but it also means that you will no longer have access tomessages that you move to folders created from anywhere except thedevice.•If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages youmove are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available toyou 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, orrename/delete folders when connected.

8-16Chapter 8Bluetooth Personal Area NetworkA Bluetooth personal area network is a private, temporary, ad-hoc networkof up to eight (8) devices. A Bluetooth personal area network allows you toeasily exchange information that normally requires a TCP/IP network.Most chat utilities, multi-player games, etc. are fully functional in aBluetooth personal area network environment.Bluetooth private area networks are subject to the same security settings(service availability, authorization, authentication, and encryption) thatgovern other Bluetooth communications.One Bluetooth device must be the host of the personal area network.Other Bluetooth devices join the network as clients. The host can acceptand reject clients on an individual basis.To set up a Bluetooth personal area network:1. From the Bluetooth Manager,select New>Connect> Join apersonal network. Tap Next.2. On the wizard screen, select Hosta personal network, then tapNext.3. Add remote devices to theBluetooth personal network, ifdesired.a. Tap the Add button and selectthe device that you wish toadd.b. Add other devices, if desired.There can be up to eightdevices, including the host.4. After adding devices, tap OK tocomplete the setup and close thewizard.NOTE Adding devices is optional. You do not have to add devices tothe personal network while configuring the host. You can letother devices join the personal network later.
