Chapter 4: Microsoft Pocket Outlook

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service

you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items.

The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on
the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items 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 Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to
another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then

tap Move to on the pop-up menu.

Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server

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
will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to

synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync.

The folders you create and the messages you move will then be
mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from

the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated

Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family
folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read

the messages while away from your 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 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 dupli-
cate 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 avail-

able to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from

your device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs when-

ever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/

delete folders when connected.
