Sending and Receiving Email Messages
[ ! ]
IMPORTANT
For most email providers that support SSL, you must select SSL for both
incoming and outgoing mail. If you select just one or the other, your messages cannot be sent
or received successfully.
If you set up an account that uses an SSL connection on Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora,
then SSL is supported in the VersaMail conduit when you synchronize with that account as well.

Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with the VersaMail and Calendar applications on your
handheld to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange 2003
server. You can access business email and calendar info on the Exchange 2003 server from your
handheld without using a desktop computer.
When you create a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in the VersaMail application, both
the email and calendar info on your handheld synchronize directly with the Exchange server; email
and calendar info on your handheld does not synchronize with the desktop software application
on your computer, such as Microsoft Outlook or Palm
your handheld, such as contacts, tasks, and memos, continues to synchronize with your desktop
software.
For most VersaMail features, using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account works the same
as using any other type of account. However, certain features—such as automatically retrieving
and resending email messages and downloading attachments—work differently for Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync accounts. Also, the account setup procedure is slightly different for a
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account. And, with a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account,
you can receive and reply to meeting invitations directly from within the VersaMail application.

What do I need to use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync?

To use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on your handheld, you must obtain the following
information from your system administrator:
• Whether the corporate mail system uses a Microsoft Exchange 2003 mail server. If it does not,
you cannot use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
