Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

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

“Setting up and

managing e-mail accounts”

earlier in this chapter for instructions.

The VersaMail application supports SSL for incoming mail only; for example, if
AT&T is your e-mail service provider, you can receive messages over a secure (SSL)
connection. You cannot send messages over a secure connection. However, there is
a way that you can make it appear as though messages are being sent over a secure
connection.

To send messages so that they appear to have been sent over a secure connection:

1.

Set your outgoing mail (SMTP) server to the correct server for your e-mail
account. See

“Entering the name of the outgoing and incoming mail server”

earlier in this chapter for information on entering the outgoing mail server.

2.

Set the reply-to address to an e-mail address from an e-mail service provider
that supports sending messages over a secure connection (for example, AT&T).
See

“Setting outgoing mail options”

earlier in this chapter for information on

entering a reply-to address.

If you set up an account that uses an SSL connection on Outlook, Outlook Express,
or Eudora, then SSL is supported in the Palm VersaMail HotSync Conduit when
you synchronize with that account as well.

NOTE

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

e-mail with accounts that use an SSL connection. See

“Auto get mail with

notification”

and

“Send retry”

earlier in this chapter for information.
