So I have a BB 8830. And I want to be able to sync my work pop3 email. I have a data plan and already have my personal yahoo emails on my BB. Dont have a blackberry email setup because I was never going to use it.

I downloaded blackberry desktop manager and desktop redirector. The desktop manager works but doesnt do what I want. I want to use redirector to send it to my BB. Every time I click on BB redirector it says:

"Could not start the redirector: the connection to your messaging system could not initialized."

Is there something I dont have that I need to run redirector. I prolly missing something that I need or something.

Also is there any 3rd party softwares like redirector?

You can only use Redirector if you have a BES account. I don't know of any 3rd party software that is similar to it.

Several things wrong here:

1 - Desktop Redirector has nothing to do with BES.
2 - Desktop Redirector was designed a long time ago to work with Exchange servers, and not POP3.
3 - Without a BlackBerry Data Plan, it won't work anyway.

Redirector is a bit flakey and you must have your PC on and connected to get your email. Is BIS not a solution? Sounds like the easiest solution to me. It comes with the BB data plan.

Not sure how to get BIS. Im pretty sure I have blackberry data plan.

How to add / delete email addresses - BlackBerryFAQ

I have BIS Im pretty sure. I have alltel and I work with my email threw here. BlackBerry Internet Service

But It wont do what I am looking for. I have it setup to do my yahoo email threw BIS. But I try and add my work email and nothing happens. I get no messages. It asks me for email address and password. Nothing about pop3 to smtp.

according to help you do this:

On the BlackBerry® Internet Service web site, in the left pane, click Email Accounts.
Click the Edit icon beside a POP or IMAP email address.
Click Advanced Settings.
Change the advanced options for your email address.
Click Save.

Well on my BIS there is no Advanced Settings botton.

Is you work e-mail through Outlook Web Access? If so, which version?

I use outlook express.

Does anyone know how to setup pop3 email threw alltell BIS?

Akosnitzky, my e-mail is through Outlook Web Access and I am struggling with my BB because it doesnt recognize the folders and filtering I have in place. Will it ever do this?

Thanks
