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.
