This has nothing to do with what folders are contained in your email account. What you are describing is the difference between IMAP and POP3 access to a mailbox. If you use IMAP on all of your devices, folders, messages etc. will all stay in sync. For instance, I use Mozilla Thunderbird which has a very handy feature to create an archive of important messages. These messages are organised automatically by year, and stored in folders under my email account. Thus, when I access that same account in Mail on the Mac, Mail on the iPhone or any other client that supports IMAP, I can access those message archives. Were I to use POP on any or all of my devices, none of them would be in sync with each other. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
