Hi,

I have what I think is a simple use case, but I can't get a straight answer and all my friends who use Blackberry's are on enterprise servers, so they don't know...

My small company has a secure SSL POP3 mail server and I use Outlook on my laptop for emails.

I am looking to get a Curve or a Pearl. What I want to be able to do is download email onto my BB on demand. I don't want email to be "pushed", and I only want email when I ask for it. I also want it to keep copies of the email on the server when I'm doing email from the BB.

So basically I want my laptop to be my "master" for email, and just use the BB to do emails that arrive when I'm not able to get at my laptop. When I do get back to my laptop it should be able to get all the emails I sent/received from my BB while I was away.

This seems like a common usecase to me, but everyone looks at me like I'm weird when I ask, and all the sales guys talk about how wonderful "push" email is but I just don't want every single email going to my BB.
