Tap Send when you’ve finished the message. If you are working
offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent
the next time you connect.

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 Pocket PC. 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, POP3, or IMAP4:

If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will automatically be synchronized with your Pocket PC. 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 desktop computer.

If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC
and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the
mail server will see that the messages are missing from the Pocket PC
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 Pocket PC.

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
Pocket PC or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders
occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders,
or rename/delete folders when connected.
