4 Managing Microsoft® Pocket Outlook applicationsInbox48Folder behavior with a direct connection to an email serverThe behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync,SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.• If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook willautomatically be synchronised with your handheld. You can select tosynchronise additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. Thefolders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on theserver. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to afolder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronisation,the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages intothat folder. You can then read the messages while away from your computer.• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.• If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, thelink is broken between the messages on your handheld and their copies onthe email server. The next time you connect, the email server will see that themessages are missing from the handheld’s Inbox and delete them from theserver. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but italso means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move tofolders created from anywhere except your handheld.• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email messages you moveare mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytimeyou connect to your email server, whether it is from your handheld or fromyour computer. This synchronisation of folders occurs whenever you connectto your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders whenconnected.
