CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages

Working with root folders

For IMAP accounts, if you want to synchronize email messages on your handheld with messages on the mail server folder, you need to enter the root folder for the account on your handheld. Depending on your email provider, the root folder could be a single folder, or it could be a subfolder of the Inbox. If this is the case, you need to enter “inbox.<foldername>” as the root folder.

Check with your email provider to find out the root folder for your IMAP account.

Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed to ensure that information you send or receive over a network or the Internet is secure and authentic. The VersaMail application uses SSL to help guarantee the secure transmission of email messages that you send or receive. When you set up an account in the VersaMail application, you are given the option of selecting SSL for incoming and outgoing mail.

[ ! ] 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.

Keep the following in mind regarding SSL:

•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.

•You cannot use auto get mail with notification or scheduled sending retry of email with accounts that use an SSL connection.
