CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving Email Messages
VPNs
If you want to access email on your device using your corporate email account, you may need to
set up a virtual private network (VPN) on your device. A VPN enables you to log in to your
corporate mail server through the company’s firewall (security layer). Without a VPN, you cannot
pass through the firewall to gain access to the mail server.
You need to set up a VPN to access corporate email in either of the following situations:
• Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is located outside the firewall.
• Your company’s wireless LAN 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 for you to access the
corporate network.
Your device software installation CD contains a link to purchase and download VPN software for
the device. Once you purchase and download the software, you s
et up a VPN connection in
Preferences on your device. If you are using a VPN connection, make sure the connection is on in
VersaMail. In the message list, open the Options menu, and then select Turn VPN On.
The Auto Sync
feature in VersaMail may not work with a VPN connection. Also, you
cannot use scheduled sending retry
of email with accounts that use a VPN connection.
