Separate BES emails from personal emails
 

Is there a way to prevent my personal emails from showing up in my BES email inbox? I don't want my personal emails to show up in my corporate email account. thanks

Keep in mind that anything on BES is no longer personal. IMHO, keep your personal stuff on your personal device and corporate stuff on the company device.

Search for 'Empower BES Mailbox'.

Messages isn't the BES email inbox. It's a universal inbox for all messages (all email, SMS, MMS, PIN, browser requests and saved pages, calls if logging is enabled, etc). Your personal email will not appear in your corporate email account even though it does appear alongside your BES email on your BB. It's still all separate as BES and BIS do not interact with each other.

What you're actually looking for is something to place BES email under its own icon (like the BIS-integrated accounts) like the Empower 3rd party app already mentioned.

Is there an echo in here?

Gmail/Hotmail vs BES - confirmation...
 

Sorry if this sounds repetitive...but I wanted to confirm my understanding on this topic.
I have the following personal accounts - 2 Gmail, 1 Hotmail, 1 Other Webmail
And I have my corporate BES account with wireless synchronization enabled for mail, calendar, tasks and memos.
According to the explanation above, my corporate folks cannot see my personal emails...is that correct?
Appreciate the feedback...

Your "corporate folks" cannot read or log your incoming personal email.
They can, if they choose to, block those incoming messages from reaching your device or force all replies to personal email to be sent through the corporate email system.

You're on their BES, their network, their rules.
They wipe your device, including your personal email, any time they want.

Thanks for the quick reply!
But how would I know if they are doing the following - "...force all replies to personal email to be sent through the corporate email system."

~ Reply to a personal email message you've received on your BlackBerry and ask the person who gets the message to tell you what email address shows up for you when they get it.

~ Check your sent mail folder in your work email and see if you find replied to personal messages in there.

Honestly... if you're concerned about this and you want to protect your privacy and personal email... get yourself off the company BES.
What's true today about BES admin inability to read incoming personal email may not be true tomorrow.

Thanks! Your explanation(s) makes sense.
I did read somewhere though that BES can still monitor SMS and Phone Logs. Is that true? What other insights do you have on BES vs BIS.
Appreciate your knowledge sharing!

Yes, BES can log SMS Messages, PIN Messages, Phone Call logs and it can audit BlackBerry Messenger conversations.
At this point, you've sorta hijacked this thread, so if you have any additional questions, you might want to just read through the FAQ entries at BlackBerryFaq.com or start your own topic.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I was searcing and this seemed to apply.

If I have my own Phone, Pa for my Own BIS, but just asked the IT dept to set me up with what Lotus notes through their BES, are they still able to log things that I do on my BIS? Am I using my Blackberry Internet Service or am I using the corporate BES for all messages?

THank you.

The answers to both of your questions have been given in the above posts.

Welcome to the forum.

Sigh.

It boils down to this:

If privacy matters, keep it off their BES

Sounds good.

I just wanted to clarify because my BB is a personal device. Did not realize that when I had them put BES on my phone that I would be opening it up to others.

Question---- Am I using the BES for all of my data transfer now?

Thank you

Ask your BES admin. There's no way we could know that.

Anyone know when empower bes will be out for 4.5?

Does anyone know if RIM has any plans on making BES only messages available on any future software upgrades? I am thinking about getting Empower BES mailbox but knowing my luck I will buy it and then RIM will release it with an update.
