Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-mail
Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on
whether you are using POP3 or IMAP4.
• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the phone
and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect,
the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the
phone and delete them. 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 phone.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you created and the e-mail
messages you moved are mirrored on the server. Therefore,
messages are available to you anytime you connect to your
mail server. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your mail server; create new folders or rename/
delete folders when connected.
Creating an E-mail Account
You need to create a new account to be used for
retrieving and sending e-mail messages.
To make a new account:
1. From the main Messaging screen, select New
Account...

the Internet.
