CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

With a corporate e-mail account, you can access the following types of mail servers, among others:

•Microsoft Exchange

•Lotus Domino

•Sun iPlanet

VPNs

If you want to access e-mail on your handheld using your corporate e-mail 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 break through the firewall to gain access to the mail server.

You need to set up a VPN to access corporate e-mail in either of the following two 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 server 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 e-mail with accounts that use a VPN connection.
