Hi experts,

call me a newbie, but I am trying something that might or might not work the way I envision it.

I will go on vacation soon, taking my laptop with me, but without any access to a LAN or WLAN, hence without latest my outlook mails.
But I still have BB connection, so I can receive all mails on my BB.
Now if the mails I receive on the BB do have an attachment (simple .txt-file) how can I transfer the attachment to my laptop.

I have not found a way to save the attachment somewhere in the device memory, so that I could use the media manager to synchronize between BB and laptop.

What other way would there be to get my mail-attachment from the BB via USB cable to my laptop?

Any help gladly appreciated!!!!

What kind of BB is it?

The 8800.
Any idea ?

The simplest could be configure tethering with 8800 and using it as a wireless modem to download all emails on laptop.

Sounds good to me.
Any idea how this can be done?

Why not just forward the email to the email addy that the laptop has access to.

> Unfortunately on my Pearl I cannot save attachments to the MicroSD even though I'm on BIS service.

Is there anyway to save directly to the SD card?

On my (former) Treo using Goodlink, I could download attachments to the SD card as I was boarding the plane. Then I could later open up on the computer when we reached cruising altitude. No need to boot or go through tethering process just to download files -- it was great.

Anything similar on the BB? It clearly downloads the file into memory...
