Using a corporate email account
If you want to access email on your device using your corporate email account, you create this
account in exactly the same way as any other account, with one exception: For a corporate email
account, you may need to set up a
virtual private network (VPN).
If your company has a Bluetooth
®
network located behind the corporate firewall, or if you are
using an 802.11b (also called Wi-Fi) SDIO card (sold separately) in your device and your company
has an 802.11b network located behind the corporate firewall, you may not need to set up a VPN to
access your corporate email account. See the next section for details.
To set up a corporate email account, you need certain information. Check with your company’s
server administrator to obtain the following:
Username and password This might be your Windows username and password, your Lotus
Notes ID username and password, or something else.
Protocol Most corporate mail servers use the IMAP protocol for retrieving mail. In rare cases,
your company server may use the POP protocol.
Some corporate mail servers do not use either protocol. If so, you cannot send and
receive email wirelessly using VersaMail. You can, however, synchronize email on your device
with email in Outlook or Lotus Notes on your computer.
Incoming and outgoing mail server settings Check with your company’s server administrator to
obtain these settings.
If your corporate mail system uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you may be able to
set up an account that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on your device. For more information,
see
Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync®.
