Using a corporate email account
If you want to access email on your handheld using your corporate email account, you create this
account on your handheld 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 (go to www.palmOne.com/intl
to check on the availability
of these cards) in your handheld 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 following section for details.
Before you set up a corporate email account, check with your company’s system administrator to
get the following information:
Username and password This might be your Windows username and password, your Lotus
Notes ID username and password, or something else. The VersaMail application provides strong
128-bit AES encryption for your password.
Protocol Many 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 from your handheld. You can synchronize email on your handheld with
email in Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes on your computer.
