Creating email profiles

You can use email profiles to specify how devices connect to your organization's mail server and synchronize email messages, calendar entries, and organizer data using 
Exchange ActiveSync
 or 
IBM Notes Traveler
.
If you want to use 
Exchange ActiveSync
, you should note the following:
  • For extended email security, you can enable S/MIME for 
    iOS
     devices and 
    Android
     devices. You can enable S/MIME or 
    PGP
     for 
    BlackBerry 10
     devices. 
    PGP
     is supported by 
    BlackBerry 10 OS
     version 10.3.1 and later.
  • If you enable S/MIME, you can use other profiles to allow devices to automatically retrieve S/MIME certificates and check certificate status.
If you want to use 
Notes Traveler
, you should note the following:
  • To use 
    Notes Traveler
     with 
    iOS
     devices, you must enable the 
    BlackBerry Secure Gateway
    .
  • To Do data synchronization is only supported on 
    BlackBerry 10
     devices. It uses the SyncML communication protocol on the 
    Notes Traveler
     server.
  • For extended email security on 
    BlackBerry 10
     devices, only 
    IBM Notes
     encryption is supported (S/MIME is not supported).
  • To use 
    Notes Traveler
     with the 
    IBM Verse
     client app:
    • for 
      Samsung Knox
       devices, you configure the settings for 
      IBM Verse
       in the email profile
    • for 
      Android Enterprise
       devices, you configure the settings for 
      IBM Verse
       using app configuration
You can also use IMAP/POP3 email profiles to specify how 
iOS
macOS
Android
, and 
Windows
 devices connect to IMAP or POP3 mail servers and synchronize email messages. Devices activated to use 
Knox
 MDM do not support IMAP or POP3.
You can use 
BlackBerry Work
 instead of an email profile for managing email, calendar, and contacts for users devices. For more information about managing 
BlackBerry Work
, see Managing 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps
 and the 
BlackBerry Work
 Administration Guide
