Manage email folder synchronization

Your email folders are synchronized automatically each time you open the app. After you open the app, the inbox is synchronized periodically in the background. You can also choose to automatically synchronize your email folders. You can also synchronize folders that you create in the same level as your Inbox. Otherwise, folders are synchronized only when you open them.
The number of folders that you set for automatic synchronization will affect battery life and data usage on your device. You can turn off automatic synchronization for some folders to improve battery life or lower data usage.
