Configuring SnapperMail on Treo

Here is some basic information for configuring SnapperMail to work with the Treo smartphone. It's not as complete a setup as the Blackberry: it does not sync your sent mail with your deskmail sent-mail folder, and there's currently no way to use an addressbook, so you have to enter a fully qualified address each time you compose an email.

Download and install SnapperMail to the device. You need the Enterprise version because it does IMAP4. http://www.snappermail.com/wireless/email/

Open SnapperMail, and tap in the upper left corner to drop down the menu with Messages, Accounts and Options.

Tap Accounts - New Accounts - and IMAP4 account. You're now on the "Edit IMAP4 Account" page, with tabs for Identity, Server and Rules.

1. At the top of the screen, you can replace the default name of "Account1" with one of your choosing.
2. Tap on the Server tab. There are two sections, Incoming Mail and Outgoing Mail.
1. Under Incoming Mail, use the following:
• IMAP4 Server: your_uwnetid.deskmail.washington.edu
• Username: your UW NetID (same as used for IMAP4 server)
• Password: your UW NetID password
2. Under Outgoing Mail, use the following:
• SMTP Server: smtp.washington.edu
• Username and password as above
3. Click on the More button to go to the Server Settings screen. It has sections for IMAP4 Settings and SMTP Settings.
• IMAP4 Settings:
• Change "no SSL security" to "always secured (wrapped port)". This will change the port to 993.
• Check the box for "always trust server".
• SMTP Settings:
• Change "no SSL security" to "secure if available (STARTTLS)". This will leave the port at 25 or you can change the port to 587 to meet the new UW SMTP protocols.
• Don't check the "always trust server" box.
4. Click OK, and you'll be back at the Edit IMAP4 Account screen.
5. Tap on the Rules tab. You can make choices here about how your email is handled
• Sync: We suggest that you choose "up to 2 days old" here. If you click the "Sync unread mail only", you can probably go back further on the Sync option if you like, without slowing your sync speed too much.
• Receive: It's best to leave it at "first 4k only", as this will let you start reading the message more quickly, while it continues to download the rest of the message.
• Outgoing mail rules: if you click here, it will leave a copy of each message, but only in the Sent folder on your device.
• If you want to send a copy of each message to your own Inbox, click on More Rules. In the "bcc a copy of outgoing mail to:", enter your full email address and tap OK.
6. Tap OK again at the Edit IMAP4 Account and then tape on Done.
3. E-mail Address lookups - this requires using the Treo Address Book, which are the Contacts from the Phone interface
   • Input a Name and E-mail Address in the Contacts  - when creating a new message, type in the First Name or matching string - after hitting a space, Snapper will look in the contacts and present all addresses from matching strings. Click 'Add' while highlighting the desired address
4. Purging Deleted Messages from the Server inbox - in the Snapper menu, find Messages/Purge Deleted
   • You are given a choice of 'never' and 'on next sync'. This setting is constant, so make sure you only set it to the sync setting when you *want* to purge your *server* inbox from Snapper.
