If configured to store it in the IMAP sent items folder, yes. > Second, what happens with mail I save as draft and don't send? I assume it's > stored only on the computer where it was composed. If configured to store it in the IMAP drafts folder, yes. I don't and they get stored in the Drafts folder "On My Computer". In short, it's up to you in both cases. > Third, how about reading mail on my iPhone? If I use an IMAP server will I > have the same folder structure on the iPhone (3G)?

Again, configuration is important so best to set it up and experiment with some test messages. What I see happen with my iPhone (and again, it could be a configuration option - I don't really remember), the iPhone marks the messages for deletion and hides them from you. If you go into the iPhone's Deleted Messages (or whatever it calls it), they are there. When I then go back into Entourage, the messages are in the original folder marked for deletion. They then get really deleted when I leave that folder (as that is how I have Entourage set up as when to purge messages). There's probably a way to purge from the iPhone but I don't do that. -- Larry Stone [email protected] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
