Sending and Receiving Email Messages
• The name of the incoming mail server
• The name of the outgoing mail (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, or SMTP) server
• Your account's security feature (if it has one), such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Authenticated
Post Office Protocol (APOP), or Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (ESMTP)

Using a corporate email account

If you want to access email on your handheld using your corporate email account, you create
this account in exactly the same way that you would with any other account, with one exception:
For a corporate email account, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN).
If your company has a Wi-Fi wireless technology network or a Bluetooth
access point located behind the corporate firewall, you may not need to set up a VPN to access
your corporate email account. See the next section for details.
To set up a corporate email account, you need certain information. Check with your company's
server administrator to obtain the following:
Username and password This might be your Windows username and password, your Lotus
Notes ID username and password, or something else.
Protocol Most corporate mail servers use the IMAP protocol for retrieving mail. In rare cases,
your company server may use the POP protocol.
NOTE
Some corporate mail servers do not use either protocol. In this case, you cannot send
and receive email wirelessly using the VersaMail application. You can, however, synchronize email
on your handheld with email in Outlook or Lotus Notes on your computer (Windows only).
Incoming and outgoing mail server settings Check with your company's server administrator
to obtain these settings.
NOTE If your corporate mail system uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you may be able
to set up an account that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on your handheld. For more
information, see Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
