Chapter 5 Going Beyond the Basics

The VersaMail application supports SSL for incoming mail only; for example, if
AT&T is your e-mail service provider, you can receive messages over a secure (SSL)
connection. You cannot send messages over a secure connection. However, there is
a way that you can make it appear as though messages are being sent over a secure
connection.
To send messages so that they appear to have been sent over a secure connection:
1. Set your outgoing mail (SMTP) server to the correct server for your e-mail
account. See “Entering the name of the outgoing and incoming mail server” in
Chapter 2 for information on entering the outgoing mail server.
2. Set the reply-to address to an e-mail address from an e-mail service provider
that supports sending messages over a secure connection (for example, AT&T).
See “Setting outgoing mail options” in Chapter 2 for information on entering a
reply-to address.
If you set up an account that uses an SSL connection on Outlook, Outlook Express,
or Eudora, then SSL is supported in the Palm VersaMail HotSync Conduit when
you synchronize with that account as well.
NOTE
You cannot use auto get mail with notification or scheduled sending retry of
e-mail with accounts that use an SSL connection. See “Auto get mail with
notification” and “Send retry” in Chapter 3 for information.
