Connecting directly to an e-mail
server
You can send and receive e-mail messages
by connecting to an e-mail server. You’ll
need to set up a remote connection to a
network or an ISP, and a connection to your
e-mail server.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new
messages are downloaded to the phone’s
Inbox folder. Also, messages in the phone’s
Outbox folder are sent and messages that
have been deleted on the e-mail server are
removed from the phone’s message folders.
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
synchronisation of folders occurs
whenever you connect to your mail
server; create new folders or rename/
delete folders when connected.
