Greetings,

Can I run desktop redirector with a Blackberry from T-Mobile despite the fact that I am NOT on an exchange server? (Not just no BES, I mean no exchange server at all.)

I do use Outlook, but it pulls from our corporate IMAP server.

T-Mo's site is vague on the subject.

Thank you in advance,
Lewis

You going to need one or both. Say hello to GMail, a quick redirect workaround if any!

Hi,

Thank you for your response. When you say I am going to need one or both - do you mean I cannot run the desktop redirector if I am not using Exchange?

Thank you for the clarification.

Best regards,
Lewis

Desktop Redirector is only certified to work with Exchange servers.

Have you tried the mail connector? As long as you have an outlook profile on your local machine it should work.

Hi,

No, I have not - I tried using DR and learned the hard way that it would not work w/o Exchange. Would you be able to tell me where I could find the connector?

Thank you again,
Lewis
