Chapter 4
Synchronizing E-mail Between the Handheld and the Desktop
98
If you want to synchronize e-mail for an account that requires
APOP authentication, you must select the option to use APOP
on your handheld. See
for details.
If you want to synchronize e-mail for an account that requires
ESMTP authentication (for example, Yahoo accounts require
ESMTP authentication), you must select the option to use
ESMTP on your handheld. See
for details.
The conduit does not support SSL for accounts set up as direct
POP.
Direct IMAP
connection to
server
Select this option to synchronize an account by connecting
directly with an IMAP server. You must enter the information
about the server in the VersaMail application on your handheld
when you create the e-mail account to access the server. You will
enter information about the incoming (IMAP) server, the
outgoing (SMTP) server, your e-mail username, your password,
and your e-mail address. You can change these settings under
Handheld Settings in the conduit; see the procedure for
selecting handheld synchronization settings later in this
chapter.
During the HotSync operation, the conduit reads the settings
you selected. If the settings do not exist or all server information
is wrong, an error is reported in the HotSync.log file. However,
if the incoming server (IMAP) is correct, the Inbox is
synchronized if the option to synchronize the Inbox is selected.
If the outgoing server (SMTP) is correct, the Outbox is
synchronized (send e-mail) if you selected the option to
synchronize the Outbox. If neither is correct, then nothing
happens.
If you want to synchronize e-mail for an account that requires
ESMTP authentication (for example, Yahoo accounts require
ESMTP authentication), you must select the option to use
ESMTP on your handheld. See
for details.
The conduit does not support SSL for accounts set up as direct
IMAP.
Other e-mail
applications
Select Microsoft Exchange 5.0 or later as a choice for the Mail
Client option if your e-mail application is compatible with
extended MAPI. If your e-mail application is compatible with
SMAPI, select Microsoft Outlook Express as a choice for the
Mail Client option.
