Using the VShield Scanner 5. Select the Enable e-mail scanning checkbox, then select the checkbox that corresponds to the type of e-mail client you use. Your choices are: • Internet e-mail clients. Select this checkbox if you use a Post Office Protocol (POP-3) or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail client that sends and receives standard Internet mail directly or through a dial-up connection. If you send and receive e-mail from home and use Netscape Mail, America Online, or such popular clients as Qualcomm's Eudora or Microsoft's Outlook Express, be sure to select this option. • Enable Corporate Mail. Select this checkbox if you use a proprietary e-mail system at work or in a networked environment. Most such systems use a central network server to receive and distribute mail that individual users send to each other from client applications. Such systems might send and receive mail from outside the network or from the Internet, but they usually do so through a "gateway" application run from the server. The E-Mail Scan module supports corporate e-mail systems that fall into two general categories: - Lotus cc:Mail. Select this button if you use cc:Mail versions 6.x and later, which use a proprietary Lotus protocol for sending and receiving mail. - MAPI-compliant e-mail client. Select this button if you use Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook, as your corporate e-mail system. Specify which e-mail system you use, then click Next> to continue. Š NOTE: If you use both types of mail systems, select both checkboxes. Note that the E-Mail Scan module supports only one type of corporate e-mail system at a time, however. If you need to verify which e-mail system your office uses, check with your network administrator. Be sure to distinguish between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express. Although the two programs share similar names, Outlook 97 and Outlook 98 are MAPIcompliant corporate e-mail systems, while Outlook Express sends and receives e-mail through the POP-3 and SMTP protocols. To learn more about these programs, consult your Microsoft documentation. User's Guide 95
