Chapter 17 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.
