OVERVIEW: The Email Client (Mail Proxy) option enabled users to use standards-based e-mail clients to access corporate e-mail securely from remote locations without the need for any additional software, such as a VPN client. It used to provide support for SMTP, POP and IMAP servers.
With the emergence and widespread adoption of Exchange ActiveSync, Email Client as an access feature was deprecated on all platforms. It was also discontinued on all hardware models starting with the MAG series and this applied to the current PSA hardware models as well.
While legacy VA-SPE appliances have continued to support this feature till the 8.3 release, it is now deprecated. From upcoming release v9.0R1 onwards, this functionality will be completely removed from all virtual appliances (PSA-V).
