recently purchased a BB 7280 model and wondering if there is a way of reconciling email without having BES. basically need to transfer emails from the computer to BB to read on the go. I have tried the redirector service on the Desktop Manager and this did not work. I was able to download just the personal folders (without the emails). thanks in advance for your help.

Email is real time (even with BES) - the old stuff in your mailbox will not reconcile to get to the handheld. Forward the emails to yourself and they will get to the BB but say they are from you with the date and time you sent them. I tell all my new users that they didn't exist in blackberry world till I put them there so they will not get a duplicate of their inbox. Sorry!
