Asus A636, 632 manual Managing e-mail messages and folders, Saving composed messages

Saving composed messages

If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect.

If you do not wish to send the message immediately, tap OK after composing the message to save it to the Drafts folder.

When you are ready to send the message, open the Drafts folder and tap the message. Tap Send to send the message.

Managing e-mail messages and folders

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 sunchronized with your device. 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 messages while away 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 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 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 device.

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