the Request SMS text message delivery notification check box before sending the message.

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each account you've created: Inbox,
Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have
been deleted on the mobile computer. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends
on the options you selected. In the message list, tap Tools - Options. On the Message tab, select the
options.
To organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools - Manage Folders to create new folders. To
move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message, then tap Move to
on the pop-up menu.

Folder Behavior with ActiveSync and Direct Connection to 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 are automatically
synchronized with the mobile computer. You can select to synchronize additional folders by
designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are
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 the host 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 mobile computer and their copies on the mail server. The next
time you connect, the mail server notes the messages missing from the mobile computer
Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a
message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages moved to folders
created from anywhere except the mobile computer.
• 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 the mail server,
whether it is from the mobile computer or host computer. This synchronization of folders
occurs whenever you connect to the mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected.
