Using Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal E-mail Software

182

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 LAN network is located outside the firewall.

Your company’s wireless LAN network 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.

NOTE

You cannot use auto get mail with notification or scheduled sending retry of

e-mail with accounts that use a VPN connection. See

“Auto get mail with notification”

and

“Send retry”

later in this chapter for information.
