Sprint Nextel PPC-6700 manual Manage Folders, Exchanging Messages

Tip:

If you want to read the entire message, tap Menu > Download Message while in the message window. If you are in the message list, tap and hold the message, and tap Menu > Download Message. The message will download the next time you send and receive e-mail. This will also download message attachments if you selected those options when you set up the e-mail account.

Manage Folders

Each Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five default Messaging folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Messaging options you have chosen.

If you use an Outlook E-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will be synchronized automatically with your PPC-6700. You can elect to synchronize additional folders by designating them for synchronization. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the e-mail 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 to that folder. You can then read the messages while you are away from your PC.

If you use a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder. If you use a POP3 account 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 e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server will detect that the messages are missing from the Inbox folder on the device and will delete them from the e-mail server. This prevents 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.
