Treo Forum - Treonauts - View Single Post - Question on Outlook Email client on Treo 700w

Hi - thanks for your reply; I'll tell you what I see. On the Treo, I cannot edit the parameters for Outlook email (email address, incoming server, etc.) as I can with standard POP3/IMAP accounts. If I open Messaging and try to edit (via options), my only selections are text messaging, MMS and new account. Nothing here applies to what is set in Wireless Sync.

Now when I visit wirelesssync.vzw.com, I can see that both my source email accounts are POP3. So IMAP isn't used. Plus, there is no option to create folders.

This is really odd. ...

OK - I called Verizon Wireless Customer Service - one CANNOT add folders on a wirelesssync account. I thank you for your time in considering my question.

As I see it, there isn't too much to be gained by using Wireless Sync. Yes, the email gets pushed down automagically to the device, but I could just as easily open Messaging on the Treo and connect as needed. I suppose the only advantage to wireless sync is the immediacy (as per your sync interval).
