Hi All,

I've just installed BES on the network, it's the latest version which is limited to one BlackBerry, for testing purposes.

It all works great, apart from when I try to send emails, it won't let me. I just get the red X.

Any help/advise on this would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Rich

Open the message with the X and get the error message.

Thanks for your reply, the message says:

Message Status: Desktop Email program unable to submit message

Can you send from Outlook? (Or notes or groupwise).

Yeah, I can send from outlook no problem.

Could potentially be a Send As permissions not assigned in Active Directory.
-- Although typically the error is "Unlisted Message Error".

Users cannot send e-mail messages from a mobile device or from a shared mailbox in Exchange 2000 Server and in Exchange Server 2003

You need to delete the Desktop[CMIME] service book, and resend the service books.

Also, regenerate the encryption key. You can do this using the BB Desktop Manager.

Confirm that the service account has appropriate permissions on your mail server (Send as, Receive as, Administer Information Store, View only Administrator). Your service account should not be part of any security groups ie domain admins, enterprise admins, exchange admins etc.

Also, if you are a domain admin, and you are trying to activate yourself, you might need to remove yourself from the domain admin group.

Thank you everyone for all your help, it all appears to be working now, and without removing myself from the domain admin group as well

Many thanks,

Rich

What did you do to resolve the issue.

I can't remember of the top of my head as it was so long ago, but I do remember that it was something do with the priviledges of the BESADMIN account in Exchange System Manager. I'll have a look through it later to see if I can jog my memory a bit.

Have you tried calling BlackBerry support? Although they didn't solve it for me, they might have more info on it now. Plus it's free.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Unable to send messages because the Send As permission has been revoked

It appears one of the MS updates has affected the permissions

Hope it helps
