Chapter 17 Using Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal E-mail Software
264
NOTE A profile contains configuration information, such as the location of
incoming e-mail, your personal address book, and other information services
that you can use. The profile may be MS Exchange Settings, your name, or
something different. For more information on profiles, see your e-mail
application’s documentation.
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. You can change these
settings under Handheld Settings in the conduit; see the
procedure for setting handheld synchronization settings later in
this chapter.
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.
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”
later in this chapter for details.
The conduit does not support SSL for accounts set up as direct
IMAP.
Other e-mail
applications
Select Microsoft Exchange 5.0 or later as a choice for the Mail
Client option if your e-mail application is compatible with
extended MAPI. If your e-mail application is compatible with
SMAPI, select Microsoft Outlook Express as a choice for the
Mail Client option.
