Hello all,

I am "this" close to going out and buying the 7250 which SprintPCS just rolled out 3 weeks ago. I have a few questions (the sales staff arent kowledgeable).

1) When they say the 7250 supports Java, does this mean I can visit a website (like a bank) where the log in appears as a java box or is java enabled?

2) Is there an extended battery for this model? This will be my only telephone (no home phone)

3) How many contact #'s /email addresses / physical addresses can you save per name?

4) Are real ringtones supported or is this a strictly polyphonic device?

The most important ones

5) If I use the redirector to check my corporate email (yes i'll leave my pc on 24/7), can I get attachments via this method? (is this really that slow of a method vs BES)?

6) I've read that it checks for new email every 15 mins, is this static? Can I decrease the time between when it checks?

7) If im checking aol, corp email, gmail.. etc will it all be in one Inbox or can I set up folders/inboxes for the different email accounts?

8) And finally my job is too cheap to add me to their BES (its only for the Sr. Staff and I'm only middle management), can I use the hosting service for $10/month and set this up to have access to my work email? if so, what info will my IT department have to give up to make this happen. ( Is this even feasible?)

Thanks so much. I'm excited and want to give up my T-Mobile Sidekick II and move into a more serious email tool.

Finally going to switch from Treo 650 to BB 7250 on VzW

Background: Currently use Fastmail (IMAP) to consolidate 4 POP accounts. I use ChatterEmail on Treo to pull mail to Treo as soon as it arrives in Fastmail account. Have folders and receive rules set up in Fastmail for newsletters and listserv messages that don't require immediate action. Also, I manually put into folders those inbox messages that are not time sensitive.

I'd like to eliminate FastMail and forward mail to my BIS account instead, but I find receive rules and folders indespensible. Also, want to be able to access these folders and inbox from either BB or Outlook.

Question: Can I do these things with a BIS account or do I need hosted BES service? Don't want polling FastMail account every 15 min. Can't use Redirector since my only computer, a laptop, frequently goes with me.

In advance, thanks for guidance.

After much searching of the forum I've stumbled upon this post which I think finally points me in the direction I'm trying to go - here's my situation - and my questions...

I use Lotus Notes at work for email and would like to be able to access it via a Blackberry. I do not have access to BES nor to iNotes. If I read item number three from the above quoted post correctly, if I leave my work PC logged on with access to an Internet connection, the Mail Connector program can be installed on my PC and will pick up all my new Lotus Notes email and then forward it to my Blackberry.

My questions are...
1. Is my premise on how this will work correct?
2. If so, before I go out and actually purchase a Blackberry, is it possible to obtain somewhere the Mail Connector program and see if it works properly on my current PC configuration?
3. I would be getting the Blackberry from T-Mobile - I presume all of the above would work with their Blackberry Internet Service (formerly called BWC)?
4. My Internet access at work is via a proxy server - is that supported by the Mail Connector program?

Thanks very much in advance...

i hope someone can help!!

When i recieve an email(phone ) on my BB device, it would only deliver 140 characters and drop the rest. It doesn't even break it up into several messages like i would receive if someone paged me from the nextel website. is there something wrong with my BB device? is there a setting that i need to change?

Any help is greatly appreciated! this problem is driving me nuts!!

THanks!

Hello all,

The company I work for is using T-Mobile's BIS with our Blackberry devices. The problem we are having is that when the messages are sent to the BBs, the Read/Unread status on our Outlook mailboxes is changed to "Read" status automatically even though we haven't actually read the email on Outlook.

We are assuming this has something to do with Exchange (we are running Exchange 5.5 on an NT 4.0 server) setting the status to "Read" when it synchs with T-Mobile's BIS.

How do I fix it so that the message stays "Unread" until the user actually opens the message on Outlook, regardless of what the Blackberry does? Anybody know?

Thanks for letting me throw this out there. I hope someone has seen this solution before.

Regards,

Reno

hey all, my thing is, I want to try the BlackBerry Redirector but i bought mine off of someone and didnt get all the original software soo I dont have that program from the cd. Does anyone have that to give me? If you do, im me on aim at darkside2911. Thanks

I am loving the 7130 overall...but struggling very bad with setting up the e-mail...any suggestions?

To make it as short as possible, my situation is this...

Just got a new job, and oddly enough the Corporation only supports mobile devices that sync with "GoodLink Software"...just my luck they dont see eye to eye with Black Berry's...

My personal e-mail will be with g-mail.

I am trying to find a way around this...I was thinking of using the "Redirection" feature that comes with the BB software disc.

Any thoughts on how to get around this problem and be able to receive both my personal and work email???

Thanks!

Thanks for the great FAQ. Most BB users seem to use MS Outlook and it would be great to know which version, i.e., MS Outlook Express, MS Office Outlook ($80+ version) or MS Outlook (Big Daddy $800+).

Can you give us a rundown on the basic differences?
Thanks.

I'm new to this forum and need some help. I have my blackberry setup and it's somewhat working. When an email is sent to me, I receive the email on my BB. But when I receive an email where I'm in the group (not directly to me), I don't get it on my BB. Why?

For example: email sent to will work
email sent to blackberryforums group will not work

I'm using the 7100g and using BES.

Thanks in advance.

All the searching on multiple e-mail has focused on BES -> BB and BIS/BWC -> BB. How 'bout BES(1) -> BB and BES (2) -> BB?

I use mailstreet for personal/consulting (Outlook Mail/Cal/Contacts/Tasks) on my 8700 (Cing), but have a 7105t (T-Mob) from work.

Since T-Mob's reception bites, I forward all my calls to the 8700 but I still have to carry the 7105t for work e-mail. Can I just ask the work BES admin to send the messaging service book to my 8700?

Thanks in advance,
paul

is there a way that I can simply move my outlook contacts, calendar, etc...from my laptop over to my 7100g just using the data link cable and the software that came with my 7100g? I don't want to purchase the extra data services for the 7100g...

Intellisync, Desktop Manager, etc. are all there when you install the BB software.

The manual lays it out pretty well.

Isn't this thread about e-mail?

It seems like every possible question has been answered in this thread, but I haven't seen someone with quite the same problem as me. If I missed something please let me know.

I recently bought an 8700 from Cingular. I don't have BES (and work won't be adding it) and can't use the desktop redirector. So I opted for the internet service option.

The problem I see with it is that it doesn't do a true synch with my corporate exchange server. For example if I delete a message off my Blackberry it won't delete it off the server. Also, I have it set up to send from my work email address. However, and RIM support told me this, it isn't really sending from my work email address but "tricks" the system into looking like it does. The email is actually sent from my cingular blackberry address.

My question is; is there a simple imap4 client for the 8700. Something that I can synch with my server at work? This is how I did it with my old phone, an Audiovox running Windows Mobile.

I just want to synch to my work email. And truly send emails from my work email.

Is this possible? I love the Blackberry and want to keep it, but I need a better way of sending email.

Thank you

Louis

Hi guys, I just resolved alot of spam problems through this thread.

Hi Louis,

I'm grappling with my 7100t - I'd like it to look as if I'm sending a message from a non-BB account. How did you get yours to look like messages are coming from your work email?

Thanks!

I just upgraded from a 7150 to a 7250 on the Nextel network.

I also installed the 7250 on a new laptop.

I wasn't sure if I should choose Redirector or not....

On my old laptop w/ my 7150 I had all my emails I got on my corporate email forwarded to .

Now on my new laptop I have this new icon Redirector and it makes me move my mouse each time.....

Do I really need this Redirector function if I still am set up where my corporate email forwards it through to my blackberry?

If not, how the hell do I delete it (the Redirector?)

Thx!!

I wanted push for my POP mail. So what I did was setup a redirect on my server, to send messages to my blackberry account, and then in BIS/BWC set the reply-to to the POP account address.

im retarted, where do i get the blackberry redirector?

When you installed Blackberry Desktop manager - one of the options should have been Enterprise or Redirector. Open desktop manager and see if its listed (usually the right most icon)

its not there

ok i got in on now, so i have it running and it says status: verifying forwarding address....how long will this take because it says disabled right now? and just to make sure this will work with hotmail through outlook right?

Sorry if this is remedial at all. I have an 8700g.

I check 3 email accounts with it. on my past units I simply did a copy forward to my @tmo.blackberry.net address. I am getting tired of when I hit reply all my blackberry address is stuck in the reply all so I get doubles back as people respond. Also it would be nice to drop the "@bb address"

From what I've read the only way to do it is to configure pop email. So I went ahead and did all that and ended up with 3 mail icons for each pop mail plus something that looks like a master one that gets them all? Do I simply hide the icons I don't want to see and just use the master one and it will automatically insert the correct from address?
If this is the only way to get a "from" a given address by using pop mail config then how do you get your emails quicker than 15minutes? or are you stuck with that.
Also if you compose and start a new message and want to select one of the accounts do you have to use that mail icon or can you choose on the fly while composing it in what seems to be the icon that has all of them collecting in it?

are you following.....

Is it possible to configure multiple emails with the BB, but only have it check one or two of the the email accounts, and change which ones it checks as needed?? Sorry if answered before, but I'm totally new to BBs...

So, by reading at the start of this topic, I know it can be done.

Here is my scenario:
I am currently using the redirector for my exchange mail, and using the desktop manager to sync my calendar and contacts. I soon plan to connect my BB to the company's BES Domino server, so that I can get my Notes email and calendar, etc.

Here is my question:
Will the desktop manager (sync'ing calendar, etc) play nice with the Domino BES server? Can I have two sources updating my BB calendar?

Thanks in advance.

First I can't find for the life of me how to post a new message on here to even ASK my question!!

I have a problem with my email! Or is this normal? I have the BB 8700g and I want to know why every time I recieve an email on one of my email accounts, it feels the need to post it there AND in my message account. Like any email I get goes to the correct box AND the message box with my text messages. Is this neccesary? How can I JUST have my text messages go to the message box and NOT emails? PLEASE HELP!!

This isn't a unit-specific problem, but when I check the email config app (which just goes to the bis site), and then check the account details for my work email, it gives a pop server name (because that's what my work uses) but then lists the email type as imap. The port is still configured to 143. It is weird. When it auto-setup, it pointed to an imap server but I manually changed it because it stopped working. This whole thing is very strange to me. I don't understand why I can't manually configure the entire mailbox.

I hear there is some trick to fix it, but do not know what it is.

*I'm confused, please help*

I'm attempting to setup a BES 4.1.1 server for my girlfriend's father. I have installed Windows SBS 2003, SQL 2005 Express, and BES 4.1.1 on a server. I have already setup all his employees and his own desktops at the office to connect to exchange and all that is working. I have also linked his BES account to his Exchange account. Blackberry Manager has his name, his cell PIN, and a status of "Initializing".

What do I do now? He currently has his Cingular Blackberry 7100G with him in Germany with the server in NY. Can I set this up remotely or do I have to wait for his return. I'm just not sure how to actually get the Cingular BB phone and the server to start talking.

Thanks in advance.

is there a way to just send email over to the device by syncing with USB? I have a user that doesn't want to pay for the data plan and just basically use the device as a palm, plugging it in and syncing now and then. I know it sounds pointless, but it would be nice to get working.

several people have asked this but i can't find any answers... i have a personal email account set up useing the "pull" method and i have my work email forwarded to my BB address. when i reply to messages i want my address to change depending on which account the original was sent from. when i change the "reply to" address it applys to all of the mail that i send regardless of who i am replying to. any ideas?

No doubt, this is a fairly simple issue, but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I have a few BB users who have stated that synchronization is no longer functioning properly. When a message is deleted on their device, it continues to show up in Outlook. Each user states that up until a few weeks ago, if they deleted a message from the BB, it would dissappear from Outlook.

The issue isn't device specific (1-7230, 1-7290, 1-8700)
Each device running v4.0
Server running BES 4.0

any suggestions?

Here's what I've figured out in terms of obtaining just the email I want on my Pearl 8100. Ok I have Tmobile with BIS and a few email accounts. I foward all of my POP3 accounts to a premium Yahoo email account. I have spam guard turned on but some spam will slip through to the inbox.

I just want to receive email on my BB from people in my outlook contact list and i don't see anyway to do this on the BB or with Yahoo so I have to use Outlook. I created a rule that fowards the emails to my BB if the sender is in my contacts. If I need to reply to the email, I have to go to Yahoo email on the BB browser.

If there is a better way to exclude all emails from reaching my BB if the sender is not in my contacts, please let me know... thanks in advance. I've searched and searched but don't see this answered.

Hi,

I'm newbies here. I just bought BB 7100g without BES or anything like that so I just bought the device.

My requirement is simple, I don't need to use the push mail or real-time (online) sync. I just want to download my email from Outlook to my BB during wired sync by pluging the cable between my BB to my laptop where the outlook email is running.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
songeb
