2. At the tab "Email" press "New"

3. At the tab "Basic" fill in something in the field "Account name:" e.g. "My Email"

4. Fill in "Your name:"

5. Fill in your Email address Select "Connection type" POP3 or IMAP

1. Start the application "Messaging"

2. Select your newly created E-mail account, e.g. "My Email" under AppGate You are now communicating with the E-mail account in a secure way and can get and send E-mails as you like.

Roaming

All the AppGate clients have a unique feature called Roaming, which is very useful when using GPRS/3G. The Roaming feature will maintain the secure connection with the Security Server even if the GPRS connection is temporary lost or inactivate. You will remain logged in on the AppGate Security Server while the client do "Suspend" and "Resume". This will save you from tedious login/password dialogues and unnecessary GPRS traffic. The AppGate client will automatically do "Suspend" after a while of inactivity The AppGate client will automatically do "Resume" if the E-mail reader tries to get or send E-mail.

1. Start the application "web"

2. Enter the address: http://127.0.0.1

2. Edit the listed synchronisation profile.

3. Set the "Connection type" to "Internet".

4. The "Access point" should be set to the Internet access method you will use, probably the same one as used for e-mail.

5. Set "Host address" to "127.0.0.1/sync4j/sync"

6. Set the "Port" to "8090".

7. Go to the "User" panel and configure your Exchange server user name and password. Disable "HTTP authentication" .
