Verifying handheld account settings before synchronizing accounts
Certain settings you configure on your handheld for a given 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)” in Chapter 5 for details.
■ Mail filters: Any mail filters you have configured for a given 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” in Chapter 5 for details.
