VPNs

If you want to access email on your handheld using your corporate email account, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) on your handheld. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate mail server through the company’s firewall (security layer). Without a VPN, you cannot pass through the firewall to gain access to the mail server.

You need to set up a VPN to access corporate email in either of the following situations:

•Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is located outside the firewall.

•Your company’s wireless LAN is located inside the firewall, but you are trying to access the network from outside the firewall (for example, from a public location or at home).

Check with your company’s system administrator to see if a VPN is required to access the corporate network.

The auto get mail with notification feature in the VersaMail application may not work with a VPN connection. Also, you cannot use scheduled sending retry of email with accounts that use a VPN connection.
