Note: These instructions are for the Versamail client on the handheld itself. There is a Versamail conduit for Windows that resides in the Hotsync manager. This conduit does not support SSL connections, and as such will not work after 9/12/2006 when connecting to pobox.upenn.edu (or any of its aliases).
