One of the main reason why I purchased the 8700C was that according to Blackberry's website, you could response to a personal email with your personal email address and business email with you business email address.. I am on Cingular's network if that helps.. I have looked all over and unable to find this.. Any help would be appreciated..

When responding to an email, change the "Send Using" to your web client or Desktop client if using BES.

This is a feature of the new BIS, coming soon to your Cingular BB :) TMO has it now. According to Cingular it will be out this spring. From a post on the Cingular forums by Cingular, it will automatically reply based on the address it was sent to. So if you have 4 email addresses pushed to your BB, then each should reply correctly based on the original addy. I believe you can also change it on the fly, but not sure.

Thanks nb_mitch for your reply.. Hopefully Cingular gets on this.. They tend not to follow thru.. The PTT looks like it will roll out eventually over 5 years at the rate they are going.. Thanks again..

I do this with my 8700C. I have work email using our BES and home email using BIS from Cingular. I just change the Send Using option to the one I want to use (e.g. Desktop or Web Mail).

BBReply.

It allows you to set your reply to address to whatever you want.

What's not working? If you have a reply to address set on your BIS that will control. Leave it blank. Is the program working on the handheld?

That fixed it. Thanks! Once I removed the reply-to address from BIS/BWC and it updated the 8700c the reply-to address that I selected with BBreply "stuck."

I'm on the new BIS from T-Mo(USA) and can't leave the reply-to blank!! Every time I try to I get a pop-up saying "An error has occurred during e-mail account validation. Please check your information and try again."

Is anyone else having this issue? Should I call T-Mobile and see if they can do it for me? This was the make or break feature of me getting a BB and it's really becoming frustrating! Thanks!!

Interestingly, PocketDay's instructions suggest that you also must leave the BIS reply-to blank for their utility to work. However, I have my BIS set to reply to my Yahoo account (which works) and the PocketDay reply-to function is 100% effective in allowing me to set my reply-to to my work address.
I guess you get what you pay for (or something).

Reply to works fine for me as well, it's the 'FROM' address that is the issue for me. If you leave the REPLY-TO blank on the BIS, then the REPLY-TO you've chosen in PocketDay will populate it...and make it look like it came from that address. In your case, instead of seeing your yahoo address as the FROM address, your work address would show there.

The issue I'm having..and hoping that the peeps here can help...is that I can't seem to change my BIS REPLY-TO as blank.

I stand corrected. My reply-to in BIS is actually blank. It is therefore automatically set to my From address (i.e. my Yahoo account.)

However, note that when i use PocketDay to change my Reply-to to my work address, while the Reply-to works, the From address is still my Yahoo account. It would be nice if it worked as you suggested.

I have no idea why you cannot reset your BIS Reply-to to blank. That is a peculiar problem. If my experience is any indication, it might not help you to make that change anyway .

My understanding is that neither Pocket Day or BBReply can change the from address. They only change the reply to address. I am not on TMobile but they have the new BIS that Cingular is supposed to have in April. That should provide full reconciliation and the from and reply to address should work correctly. Anyone from TMobile care to comment.

You are correct. I can change the reply from email address on my 8700c using T-Mo's network.

Doesn't it also change the "from" address too?

Not sure what you mean. You want to reply using no address?

The confusion here is this. To use bbReply the reply to address must be blank in the BIS. For the Tmobile BIS it doesn't matter since the emails and the reply to and from address have full reconciliation. This is why I want Cingular to hurry up now.

Not sure what you mean. You want to reply using no address?

Correct...because BBReply and PocketDay will fill in that field for me (I believe). The issue (for me) is that the TMO BIS won't let me set it as a blank. I was hoping to see if another TMO user has been successful in setting up the BIS (for your tmo.blackberry.net account).

Thanks!
