HP Data Messenger manual Messaging, Identify the folder types

8 Messaging

To send and receive e-mail messages using an e-mail account, you need to connect to the Internet using GPRS or your corporate network.

You can send and receive messages in a variety of formats:

●Microsoft® Office Outlook® Mobile e-mail

●Internet e-mail

●Text/MMS messages

You can also access e-mail from your workplace through a VPN connection. For more information, see Set up a VPN server connection on page 76.

E-mail in the Outlook e-mail account is sent and received through synchronization with a computer using any synchronizing software or through wireless synchronization directly with an Exchange Server. For more information, see Synchronization on page 77.

Internet e-mail is sent and received by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) e-mail server. You require Internet access from a GSM, GPRS, EDGE, or 3G carrier to connect to a POP3 or IMAP4 Server. You can connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi, a computer, or a Bluetooth device. To connect to the Internet through your HP iPAQ, use a data-enabled cell phone.

Text messages are sent and received through your wireless service provider using a phone number as the message address.

Identify the folder types

Each messaging account has a set of folders with five default Messaging folders:

●Inbox

●Outbox

●Deleted Items

●Drafts

●Sent Items

The messages you receive and send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders for each account.

The way folders work varies by type:

●If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are synchronized with your HP iPAQ automatically. Select additional folders for synchronization by assigning them designations. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the e-mail server.

●If you use an MMS account or a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.

●If you use a POP3 account and move your e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link breaks between the messages on the HP iPAQ and their copies on the e-mail server. When you connect,
