    • Mailbox — Connect to your remote mailbox to retrieve your new email messages, or view your previously retrieved e-mail messages offline.
    • Drafts — Draft messages that have not been sent are stored here.
    • Sent — The last messages that have been sent, excluding messages sent using Bluetooth connectivity, are stored here. You can change the number of messages to save in this folder.
    • Outbox — Messages waiting to be sent are temporarily stored in the outbox, for example, when your device is outside network coverage.
    • Delivery reports — You can request the network to send you a delivery report of the text messages and multimedia messages you have sent (network service).
