Chapter 16 Using Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal E-mail Software
220
Direct POP
connection to
server
Select this option to synchronize an account by connecting
directly with a POP server. You must enter the information about
the server in the VersaMail application on your handheld when
you create the e-mail account to access the server. You will enter
information about the incoming (POP) server, the outgoing
(SMTP) server, your e-mail username, your password, and your
e-mail address.
During the HotSync operation, the conduit reads the settings you
made. If the settings do not exist or all server information is
wrong, an error is reported in the HotSync.log file. However, if the
incoming server (POP) is correct, the Inbox is synchronized if the
option to synchronize the Inbox is selected. If the outgoing server
(SMTP) is correct, the Outbox is synchronized (send e-mail) if you
selected the option to synchronize the Outbox. If neither is correct,
then nothing happens.
If you want to synchronize e-mail for an account that requires
APOP authentication, you must select the option to use APOP on
your handheld.
If you want to synchronize e-mail for an account that requires
ESMTP authentication (for example, Yahoo accounts require
ESMTP authentication), you must select the option to use ESMTP
on your handheld. See “Adding ESMTP to an account” earlier in
this chapter for details.
The conduit does not support SSL for accounts set up as direct
POP.
Direct IMAP
connection to
server
Select this option to synchronize an account by connecting
directly with an IMAP server. You must enter the information
about the server in the VersaMail application on your handheld
when you create the e-mail account to access the server. You will
enter information about the incoming (IMAP) server, the outgoing
(SMTP) server, your e-mail username, your password, and your
e-mail address.
During the HotSync operation, the conduit reads the settings you
made. If the settings do not exist or all server information is
wrong, an error is reported in the HotSync.log file. However, if the
incoming server (IMAP) is correct, the Inbox is synchronized if the
option to synchronize the Inbox is selected. If the outgoing server
(SMTP) is correct, the Outbox is synchronized (send e-mail) if you
selected the option to synchronize the Outbox. If neither is correct,
then nothing happens.
