The login script (if any) that you need for connecting to your ISP or mail server
NOTE
Information about your e-mail account is available from the e-mail provider.
Depending on the type of e-mail service you have, you may be able to access this
information by going to the e-mail provider’s web site or by contacting the provider’s
customer support.
Using a corporate e-mail account
If you want to access e-mail on your handheld using your corporate e-mail
account, you create this account on your handheld in exactly the same way as any
other account (see
later in this chapter), with one
exception: for a corporate e-mail account, you may need to set up a virtual private
network (VPN). See
later in this chapter for information.
The following considerations apply when setting up a corporate e-mail account:
See
later in this chapter for steps for inputting your
username, password, protocol, and incoming and outgoing server settings when
you set up your corporate e-mail account.
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.
Username and
password
These might be your Windows 2000 username and password,
your Lotus Notes ID username and password, or something
else. Check with your company’s server administrator to obtain
the correct username and password. The VersaMail 2.6
application provides strong 128-bit AES encryption for your
password.
Protocol
Most corporate mail servers use IMAP for retrieving mail. In
rare cases, your company server may use POP. Check with your
company’s server administrator to verify the protocol.
Incoming and
outgoing mail
server settings
Check with your company’s server administrator to obtain
these settings.
