hey folks! well...this could be a *very* long message, but i'll try to cut to the quick...so...i'm trying to figure out what the relationship is between the mail app icons in the Mail app drawer and my web-based e-mail account. after synching Mail with my e-mail account, i find all my on-line email activity in little folders. the Mail app icons (Out, Drafts, and Sent) are not synched and seem to only reflect the activity that takes place from within Mail (that is to say, if i do something online, it doesn't synch with that...that activity gets synched in separate folders called Sent and Draft) (come to think of it, what is the "Out" icon in Mail for?) strangely, the only exception to this is the small folder entitled "Inbox"...in this case, it is empty and the Mail app "Inbox" icon displays all of the activity online. I just moved all of my sent items from the little folder to the Mail app icon "Sent" and noticed that my online sent folder is now empty, thus strengthening my hypothesis that the Mail app icons don't sync...
so...did any of that make any sense to anyone? HELP! :confused:
