Hi All,

Now that InstaSpell is out, we have something new for you!

Empower BES MailBox allows you to view your Work Emails separately from all other Emails.

OTA: http://www.getempower.com/bes/ebm.php
PC-DM: http://www.getempower.com/bes/Empower_BES_MailBox.zip

No more getting your Work emails cluttered in the plethora of BIS, PIN, SMS and Browser messages.

Let us know your thoughts about it.

Thanks!
Ani.

Oooooo! You are going to have people LOVING you for this!

Installed the app. Doesn't work on my 8830....

Hooper - you are on BES or BIS ? Also, do you get an icon on your HomeScreen?

BES account and 1 BIS account. I get an icon on the home screen, but nothing happens when I select it. I mean nothing.... no errors at all.

Very nice! Works on my TMo 8100. Still need "Messages" folder for PIN's but nice little app!

Is this a trial version that will expire or is this the full version? I like it.

Interesting. Will give it a try.

EDIT: I installed it and it doesn't appear to do anything. I have a new envelope icon, but when I click on it nothing happens. I'm using a Sprint 8830.

Thanks. Its a Trial that will force-expire in 10 days. By that time I guess we will have better versions that will work for a greater audience. (As we can see its not working for some environments right now. We will need to work on it.)

ok, looks like the problem has been identified (thanks to juwaack). We will be providing an update for those for whom its not working.

Thanks!
Ani.

Same here (not working) on my BB 8300 (with both BES and BIS account).
Envelope icons appears, but nothing happens when clicked.
Thanks.

This is (almost) PERFECT for me! All we need is that new icon that indicates new messages. Currently, the messages icon is the same for new mail, and no new mail.

That and the ability to see PIN messages.

Same problem here as well. I am on a bes. BB is 8800c on ATT

Hi All,

We have an update. Pls upgrade to v0.92. Download links remain same for OTA & PC-DM.

The ability to change the icon for new BES messages will be added within a day or two.

Thanks!
Ani.

Works (BB 8300)! Love it.

Is it possible to add a stand-alone icon for SMS/MMS messages only in a similar way?

There is actually a built-in filter in the BlackBerry OS for SMS messages. Launch the Messages application. From the menu, select View Folder followed by SMS Inbox or SMS Outbox.

Btw, Some nice tidbits for us with regard to Empower BES MailBox. (Full credits to Tom. )


Nice finds Tom !

This is pretty nice. Couple of questions though to make sure I'm not missing something.

Is it possible to have a folder/icon that contains just everything else? All messages EXCEPT the BES messages?

What I would like in the end is to have one place to see only BES messages, and another place to see only my BIS messages.

The RIM OS currently provides an separate icon on the BlackBerry home screen for EACH of your BIS e-mail accounts, but there is currently no way to look at ALL of the BIS accounts in a single view without the BES messages, too.

There is a simple alternate solution to this application if it doesn't work for you. Create your own custom search!

1. Go to Messages > Search
2. Set Service to Desktop
3. Set Show to Received Only
4. Display the menu and select Save
5. Assign a Title and Shortcut Key
6. Display the menu and select Save
7. To view the results press ALT+(Shortcut Key) from Messages
   *Note the previously selected Title is displayed with the results

This suggestion also answers the question from above about SMS messages better than my original response. I forgot about this, but the RIM OS actually has several predefined searches from within the Messages app:

1. Incoming (ALT+i)
2. Outgoing (ALT+o)
3. Phone Calls (ALT+p)
4. SMS Messages (ALT+s)
5. Voicemail Messages (ALT+v)

You can even edit the searches if there is slightly different criteria that better fits your needs.

Only problem with the custom search that was suggested is you are saying search based on the BIS service name to display my BIS messages only.

I do not have a BIS service name. My employer supplied my Blackberry, and by policy, it looks like they will not allow a BIS service. I was able to setup the BIS account and receive BIS email in a limited way. I cant route mail back through it and cannot do a "More" if all of the msg was not downloaded. Also, I do not have a separate icon on the main screen for this BIS account. These limitations aren't too much of a problem with me. The only services I have available to search on is "Desktop" and "All". My "Received Using" is listed as Unknown.

Your limited because of the IT policy applied to your BlackBerry from the BES server. You would be able to select a BIS service if not for the IT policy. Your pretty much out of luck if you only want to see your BIS email.

ani i've test the program (BES Mailbox) on several device (installed v.91), on 8700g os 4.1.94 icon click and nothing happen but worked on 4.2.1.101
on 8800 tested on os 4.2.1.89 and 4.2.1.101 both not working (nothing happen)
does the new update solved the problem

btw it worked on 8100 and 8300, also 8700 with 4.2.1.101 os

nyubi - we did one update after 0.91

Pls upgrade to v0.92 - the download links remain same, so all you need to do in uninstall the previous one and download again. When you install the DM will tell you that its v0.92 so that you can be sure you are installing the correct one.

Let us know if 0.92 works or not for you.

Thanks!
Ani.

okay i'll try the new update and will tell you again, if it solve the problem with 8800

EDITED:

confirmed worked with 8700, 8800, 8300, and 8100
great software

when will it be release and how much for it ?

Looks like a new version is available. Just downloaded and the version is 97.0.52

Dear All,

We have a new release of BES MailBox. Version 1.0 - your feature suggestions included. And then some more

Enhancements:

1. Folder based alert! Now you can select important Folders for yourself and we will sound an alert on arrival of new email! Look for "BES Messages" under Options and select the Folders that are important to you for a sound alert. Please note this option is NOT ENABLED by default. Also, the tone for the alert can be set under an entry named "BES Messages" in profiles.

2. Integration with native Message app - now you can also launch the BES MailBox from inside the native Messages app. So now, while you still have a dedicated BES MailBox icon on the HomeScreen, if you have already opened the native Messages app, you dont have to go back to HomeScreen - just click on the menu item "BES MailBox".

3. The much requested Icon notification is also here. App icon will change when a new email is received. The new mail indication in the icon will be cleared when either the app is opened, or the latest message is opened (using BES MailBox or the native app)

To Upgrade: Please uninstall the previous version before upgrading to the new version. Download links remain same.

OTA: http://www.getEmpower.com/bes/ebm.php
PC-DM: http://getempower.com/bes/Empower_BES_MailBox.zip

Also to top it, we have a 5-day inaugural discount of 30% for all. Please use the code BES-BBF when you order. Also, if you know someone who you think may be interested in such a product, pls let them know of the offer as it lasts only till Monday.

Thanks!

Sweet! Love to see some handling of PIN messages... maybe another icon or something. I have hidden the default messages icon for good!!!!

ani, or anyone who has been puchased from mobihand..

i'm going to order 10 licenses of BES Mailbox, and i new customer of mobihand, when i about to check out, i must enter device info (type and PIN), which is only have to entered only one, and i'm going to purchased 10 licenses, is that okay to proceed the checkout?

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry8703e/4.1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/105)

You will need to provide all ten PINs -- the PINs are used to compute the device-unique registration codes. I am not sure of what provisions they have for a multi-license purchase.

so pin and device type i provide during the mobihand account registration can be different from the device i'm going to install the software right?

sorry asking on this thread, because there is no help topic on volume licenses on mobihand site.. (have email them but haven't got any answer yet)

No -- the PIN is used to generate a unique registration code (aka key) for each device. MobiHand needs the ten PINs in order to generate ten keys.

I have this obssesion with everything being like, why when this is installed does it use a different icon than for my other mail boxes? Is there a way to change this manually?

Great Program by the way.

Jason

I see what you're saying, but it has a different icon because it's a different app and that's the icon the developer chose to use. Same reason your calendar icon isn't an envelope or your BrickBreaker icon isn't a globe. It differentiates the app from other apps. Just guessing, but there very well may be licensing issues with using RIM's icon. Maybe that's why they didn't go with that one.

There isn't a way to change it manually.

Im trying to get this to work on a BB 8320 but i dont see anything different. I open the bes icon it adds but look just like my normal messages folder. am i missing something.

Yes, it will look like the other message folder, except that messages from your other accounts such as Gmail or Yahoo and your PIM, SMS and MMS messages will not appear there. Only messages received through your BES account will show up through this app. Clears away everything else so you can separate our work messages more clearly.

Oh by the looks of the empower page i thought it was maor of a folders view

You will also see the name of your BES account centered in the header of the RIM Messages application screen indicating that the filter is active.
