Mapping Your Folders
Mapping your folders allows you to synchronize email across all your devices, email clients and the web. By default, some email clients and mobile devices create their own folders for Sent, Trash, Spam etc. You can map your Sent, Deleted, and Spam messages to their proper folders as well as access any sub-folders you’ve created by following the procedure below:
1. After you’ve set up your mail account, go back to your home screen and Tap your Mail icon.
2. Select the newly created Mailbox and let all your mail synchronize and then go back to your home screen.
3. From the home screen tap Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select your Account, and then select your Account one more time.
4. You’ll then tap Advanced located at the bottom, tap Drafts and on the next screen, select Drafts under the Server option.
Note: Repeat step number 4 for your Sent and Trash folders.
Note: You’ll see that all your sub-folders have populated under the Server option
