Palm Tungsten T5 manual Synchronizing Imap mail folders wirelessly

CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages

Did You Know?

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.

Tip

If you have a folder on your handheld that matches a folder on the mail server, you do not need to do anything before synchronizing wirelessly.

Synchronizing IMAP mail folders wirelessly

If you create an IMAP folder in an account on your handheld that matches a folder on the mail server, you can wirelessly synchronize email messages that you move into or out of the IMAP folder, or delete in the folder.

When you synchronize a folder, any email 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 or deleted in the folder on the mail server.

Prerequisites for wireless IMAP folder synchronization

Depending on how you have set up IMAP folders on your handheld and/or the mail server, you may have to do some steps before you can wirelessly synchronize email messages between your handheld and the server, as follows:

•If you need to create a folder on both your handheld and the server, create the folder on your handheld and check the Also create on server box.

•If there is a folder on the mail server but you need to create it on your handheld, you do not need to check the Also create on server box.

You can turn folder synchronization on or off during a Get Mail operation, and set synchronization options from a menu.
