Webmail access for corporate email -
04-24-2006, 11:34 PM
Apologies if this topic has been beaten to death already, cannot find much usable info about it.
I would like to have may bb access my work email which at the moment is done on my own computer into a webmail account (outlook). I have tried the settings in the Mail Setup on the BB and this has not worked. My company does not have an enterprise server but does have an exchange server. What would be the best way to go about this? Thanks!

Hmm, maybe you can have your IT department add something serverside that would pop your emails both to your account (that you access via webmail) and your BB address..
I think you'll need Outlook to set up the server side rule yourself (I don't think you can via OWA). Or, as DuckWingDuck suggested, your IT department can set up forwarding for you.
Ya, I don't use exchange over webmail, so I'm not sure what functionalities are there for you to set up the rules. If it's not available to you via webmail then the only recourse is to ask your IT Department to forward the emails for you. The problem there is, you're going to have the problem of always having 2 copies of emails, one on your device and one in webmail.
What service are you on? By webmail do you mean OWA or some other web interface to Exchange?
On T-Mobile I could have SWORN that when you try to set up an exchange account they give you the option of retrieving it through OWA. Could be wrong, of course, but last time I tried to set up an account on my.t-mobile I thought they gave this option. It certainly works for Lotus Notes through iNotes.
When you log on to your webmail if it's Outlook Web Access you can use that to set up an integration through BIS. It'll be expecting five pieces of information.
url, typically: https://www.domain.com/exchange
email: this should be obvious
pass: again, obvious
user name: yuh huh
account name: you can find this out by hovering the mouse over your inbox. in the status bar is should say something like https://www.domain.exchange/account/# you just need the accout part.

Is OWA not available with T-Mobile? There is the option to configure it but it is not working for me and I believe I am putting in the correct information.
I am using OWA with TMobile. Works fine for me, except during the setup I used the wrong password and my work email (network) account was temporarily locked out. Once I got that fixed, I was good to go.
