CHAPTER 16

Sending and Receiving Email Messages

 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.

Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with the VersaMail and Calendar applications on your 

handheld to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange 2003 

server. You can access business email and calendar info on the Exchange 2003 server from your 

handheld without using a desktop computer.

When you create a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in the VersaMail application, both 

the email and calendar info on your handheld synchronize directly with the Exchange server; email 

and calendar info on your handheld does not synchronize with the desktop software application 

on your computer, such as Microsoft Outlook or Palm

®

Desktop software. Other information on 

your handheld, such as contacts, tasks, and memos, continues to synchronize with your desktop 

software.

For most VersaMail features, using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account works the same 

as using any other type of account. However, certain features—such as automatically retrieving 

and resending email messages and downloading attachments—work differently for Microsoft 

Exchange ActiveSync accounts. Also, the account setup procedure is slightly different for a 

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account. And, with a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, 

you can receive and reply to meeting invitations directly from within the VersaMail application.

What do I need to use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync?

To use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on your handheld, you must obtain the following 

information from your system administrator:

• Whether the corporate mail system uses a Microsoft Exchange 2003 mail server. If it does not, 

you cannot use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
