Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed to ensure that data you send or receive over a
network or the Internet is secure and authentic. The VersaMail application uses SSL to help
guarantee the secure transmission of email messages that you send or receive. When you set up
an account in the VersaMail application, you are given the option of selecting SSL for incoming
and outgoing mail.
For most email providers that support SSL, you must select SSL for both
incoming and outgoing mail. If you select just one or the other, your messages cannot be sent or
received successfully.
If you set up an account that uses an SSL connection on Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora, then
SSL is supported in the VersaMail conduit when you synchronize with that account as well.
