• If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the "\Inbox" folder in Outlook
automatically synchronize with your CN3. You can select to synchronize
additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you
create and the messages you move are then 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 messages while away
from your desktop.
• 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 CN3 and their copies on
the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the
messages are missing from the CN3 Inbox and deletes them from the
server. This does prevent duplicate copies of a message, but it also means
that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders
created from anywhere except the CN3.
• 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 CN3 or
desktop. This folder synchronization occurs when you connect to your
mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.
For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping
Menu > Tools > Manage Folders.

Connecting to a Mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your CN3. You need to set up a
remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail
server. For information, see
When connected to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the
CN3 "\Inbox" folder, messages in the CN3 "\Outbox" folder are sent, and
deleted messages in the e-mail server are removed from the CN3 "\Inbox"
folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on your
CN3, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect
based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and
respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your CN3.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide
which messages to download completely.
