Palm VersaMail HotSync Conduit shortcuts

You can use the icons in the toolbar to perform certain tasks quickly, such as saving 
account configuration settings.

Verifying handheld account settings before synchronizing accounts

Certain settings you configure on your handheld for an e-mail account must be set 
correctly for the synchronization process as well. Before configuring an e-mail 
client on your desktop for synchronization, be sure to verify the following settings 
on your handheld:

APOP, ESMTP, and SSL:

 If you want to synchronize e-mail for an account that 

requires either APOP or ESMTP authentication (for example, Yahoo accounts 
require ESMTP authentication) or a secure (SSL) connection for incoming mail, 
you must select the option to use APOP, ESMTP, or a secure connection on your 
handheld. See 

“Adding APOP to an account,”

 

“Adding ESMTP to an account,”

 

and 

“Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”

 later in this chapter for details.

Mail filters:

 Any mail filters you have configured for an e-mail account on your 

handheld also apply during the synchronization process. For example, if you 
have set filters to accept only e-mail containing the subject words “Current 
Software Project,” only those same messages are synchronized between your 
desktop and your handheld. Be sure to turn mail filters off if you want to 
synchronize all messages between your desktop and your handheld. See 

“Turning filters on and off”

 later in this chapter for details.
