Sending and Receiving Email Messages

Incoming and outgoing mail server settings

Check with your company’s system administrator to

obtain these settings.

With a corporate email account, you may be able to access the following types of mail servers,
among others:

• Microsoft Exchange

• IBM Lotus Domino

• Sun iPlanet

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.
