Where do YOU save your emails?

[andonakis]

Using stock bellsouth.net account. Have posted before but no answer. Is there or why isn't there an option to save emails? Like a "saved' folder. My friends motorola droid does, but my fascinate doesn't. So I just have them sitting there, all my important emails in my in-box all cluttered up. How can something like this be missed on a smart phone? And why is it that no one has noticed? Went to verizon store and the guy was scratching his head, he just couldn't figure it out.

Can you edit a folder on the home account or is this a "smart phone" e-mail. My Yahoo account I can set up folders on my home computer and when I sign into the "Yahoo" account I have all of my folders. If I use the 'smart phone" central e-mail it that ties all of my accounts to doesn't show any of these files.
I hope that helps

No option to archive or keep a copy on the server?

No option at all. I just let them sit in my inbox. My blackberry had a" saved messages" where I put all my important emails. This is not yahoo or hotmail account, its a bellsouth.net pop account. I just think the fascinate just doesn't have this options. When I go in my folders, there is an inbox, drafts, outbox, sent, and trash, thats it. My friends droid has a saved folder, mine doesn't and I hate that.

Your friend may be running an third party mail program, like K-9 mail (K-9 Mail - Android app on AppBrain). Check it out and see if it gives you what you need. It's free too.

Could make a gmail account and have all of the emails forward there and then to your phone, or make a gmail or other web based account and forward just the ones you want to keep. Face it, eventually you will have to replace your phone and if you do not save those emails somewhere, when the phone us gone so will your important emails. I have a gmail account, some emails are considered important just because of who sends them, they are labeled in red and have a star.


Also I email myself important things like tax forms and other items I want an off site back up.

Just my thoughts on the issue.

Good point. And actually, you can have GMail POP in to your Bellsouth account and pull the mail in. You can also send mail from GMail using your Bellsouth account, so the "From" address will be your Bellsouth address. So it's like GMail becomes your client for Bellsouth.

I do this all the time as well.
