Using wireless IMAP folder synchronization
If you create an IMAP folder in an account on your handheld that matches a folder
on the mail server, you can wirelessly synchronize e-mail messages that you move
into or out of the IMAP folder, or that you delete from the folder.
When you synchronize a folder, any e-mail messages in the selected folder on the
mail server are downloaded to the same folder on your handheld. Any messages
moved out of the selected folder on your handheld or deleted on your handheld
are moved out of or deleted from the folder on the mail server.
Depending on how you have set up IMAP folders on your handheld and/or the
mail server, you may have to perform some steps before you can wirelessly
synchronize e-mail messages between your handheld and the server, as follows:
■If you need to create a folder on both your handheld and the server,
see “Creating and editing mail folders” in Chapter4. Be sure to select the Also
create on server check box as described in that section. After creating the
folders, continue with the following procedures for synchronizing IMAP
folders.
■If there is a folder on the mail server but you need to create it on your handheld,
see “Creating and editing mail folders” in Chapter4. You do not need to select
the Also create on server check box as described in that section. After creating
the folder, continue with the following procedures for synchronizing IMAP
folders.
■If you have a folder on your handheld that matches a folder on the mail server,
continue with the following procedures for synchronizing IMAP folders.
You can synchronize either a single pair of handheld/mail server folders, or
multiple pairs of folders.
NOTE You can synchronize folders whose names are up to 16 characters in length.
You can synchronize up to 11 custom folders you create, in addition to the default
folders Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash.

To wirelessly synchronize a single pair of handheld/mail server IMAP folders:

1. From within an IMAP e-mail account, tap the folders pick list in the upper-right
corner of the screen and select the folder you want to synchronize.
2. Tap Get Mail.
