Hi All,
Sorry if this sounds a bit dim, or is on the wrong part of the forum (please move is required), but I'm new to Blackberry and need some guidance.
I'm trying to get BBC installed on my Orbit (done), connected to the network (done) and synched with my Blackberry Service (pending) and need your help to understand the implications of what I'm aobut to do:
When I enter my account details on my Orbit and connect it you my companys Blackberry service, will I invalidate my proper Blackberry handheld device and knock it off the network ?
Can I operate both handhelds simultaneously, or is it one or the other only ?
Can corporate Blackberry and private Outlook email accounts (Push or pop) co-exist on a single WM6 device ?
respectfully,
nid
Repost your q to http://crackberry.com/
Cool, I didnt even know that site existed...
I've posted there but no-one seems interested.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks

Answers:
1. YES, it will "knock you other BB off" as in it will not receive emails any more. It will still work as a phone, but not as a BB device for retrieving your email.
2. As implied in answer to #1, the answer is NO, you will only receive email on one of the devices via BB services.
3. YES, BB proper and BBC for WM will let you receive both corporate and personal email accounts to a single phone.
Awesome, thanks a million.

Just purchased this device on the advice from the shop that it performs push email. Of course, when I call Customer Services they deny this; SMS text messaging at best. Have I been sold a pup? :evil:
push-email? what would that be like? someone writes you a message and you get it instatly as with ICQ without your device checking emails every second?
AFAIK non of the comon email protocols incorporate such a thing. email is a asynchronous way of communication.
you might want to try msn messenger or any other IM instead.. but don't forget you have to be connected to the internet all the time (which of course is a must, if you want to use any ip-based service at all..)
even if your provider (and the phone) supported wap-push (as in WAP 2.0), you'd have to be connected..
AFAIK, SMS is usually the only "connectionless" push-messenger for mobile phones

It can have the Blackberry client installed on it, which is push email, but as far as I know, T-Mob only supply this for corporate users that have a Blackberry server, they don't do the desktop pop/imap client that runs on your PC from what I have been told.
ah, didn't know about that.... but i guess the blackberry has to either still be connected all the time to the internet or the service provider hast do add some new services on his side too?...
maybe your guy at the store mixed it up with the Motorola MPx, which according to a press release will have that feature (using the blackberry technology) ... and the MPx 220 or something like that should have it too..
cheers

I think I remember hearing somewhere that the latest version of MS Exchange can do push e-mail... it works something like the exchange server sends an sms when you get an e-mail and that causes the device (whether it's a XDAIIs or whatever else that is running WM) to connect and download the new e-mail.... never seen it working or anything tho so that could be rubbish...
Perhaps they were simply referring to POP3 through GPRS?? Or maybe just something that they once heard someone say and thought they could repeat to sound knowledgeable!!
Hey all,
I own a Wizard (8125), which I switched from a BB 8700c and then thought I had made a dear mistake.
But until recently, I found out that's not the case. DirectPush is a blessing. It works even better than when I had GoodLink! (and GLA is proprietary, and doesn't aggregate my existing e-mail accounts)
Are there any others who let go of their crackberry just like i did? I'd like to know!
8125 problems
I gave up the 7100g to be the crash test dummy for our company on the 8125.
So far it has been a disaster! I welcome any and all suggestions on configuration. I have SIM/CID unlocked, and have since changed from Summiter's 2.3 to the recently released Cingular 2.25 yesterday. I am in an outsourced corporate exchange 2003 sp2 environment (provider is usa.net).
They(usa.net) have assured me that my account is properly provisioned for Outlook Mobile Access. I have the correct server address, ssl checked, correct user name and password (obviously) and correct domain.
I was getting a message to correct my exchange server password, that has gone away. Now activesync begins synchronizing and then returns to the Comm Manager app with the activesync button disabled (activesync error code 0x80004004)
I have an opportunity to save the company $15 per month, per device if I can pull this off. That's a savings of over $30,000 this year alone!
Help Please!
You could try to setup a free account with mail2web.com and see if you can get that to work for you, If that does work you would be able to go back to your other provider with some confidence that the problem is on their end.
just a thought.
Mail2Web direct push works fine... no exchange
do I need a certificate installed on the 8125 for my OWA site (exchange.usa.net)?
Hey guys, I searched this forum and pretty much everything on the net but couldn't find anything.
I have a WM6 smartphone with direct push access to our company exchange server. Works flawlessly, I get all my work emails right away on the handset.
But I was wondering, is there a XP or Mac client out there that could "pretend" it's a mobile device and give me my email on my private computer?
On top of that, I'm a Mac user. (Apple Mail has OWA Exchange supprt but it wouldn't let me in. I think it needs to tell the server it's a mobile device.)
Naturally, a Windows client would also do just fine.
The only settings known to me are: activesync server address, user, pwd, domain. The server is accessible from the internet (I know this because my smartphone can sync via any wifi hotspot too.) so that's no problem.
any ideas?
RPC over HTTP
Hey Greg,
do you have a certificate file from the exchange server ?
It could be that it's not really working because of the missing cert-file.
Maybe you need Entourage on your Mac, but i have read about, that it is not fully functional (but... i have no idea about it.... )
Or ask your IT stuff in the company if they are servering RPC over HTTPS.
RPC over HTTPS and Outlook this is imho the best solution to use your company mail at home.
Or maybe you can access the exchange via pop3 or imap if it is allowed in your company. But using RPCoHTTP is much better...
Cheers,
Peter
Thanks,
no there is no certificate. I can just enter my credentials into any phone fresh-out-of-the-box and it will work.
I'd like not to ask my IT staff because their standard answer to such questions is "not supported, don't do it".... I don't wanna hear that

Yes my dear we have "lotus v 7".

I might be completely off on this one, but it is my understanding that you need an e-mail service running on MS Exchange Server to support Push Mail on the Windows Mobile platform (e.g. mail2web.com or emoze.com). I don't think Lotus can be used in place of MS Exchange Server.

I think you are correct. I believe Lotus users need to install a 3rd party solution for push email. I could be wrong though.
Yep we use lotus notes at work and its a complete nightmare. There's a lot of 'workarounds' but I've not found anything reliable. The fact that I can't sync my data as well as I could with Outlook is putting my off getting another windows mobile phone.
Seven software has a product that lets you do push from a Domino-based mail server but it requires software to be installed on either your Domino server OR on your desktop. If you install it on your desktop, then you can only get mail pushed while your PC is logged into the network. It's called a "workgroup connector". It works great, but it isn't quite a simple as if you had a Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or OWA accessible mail server. If your Domino instance does have POP3, then you don't need that, and and can simply use the phone software.
Check here for more info:

Seven is otherwise great software. Works like a charm.
Kerio Emailserver has activesync enabled, and is superior to Exchange.

Check the first link in my post above. Its for Seven software. It works like Blackberry for alot of different accounts and is simply awesome IMO.
What type of account are you trying to push mail from?
I got my orbit 2 yesterday and don't know how to make it talk to my exchange. any ideas?
To the people using push email... how much time your battery works.
I just bought a polaris one week ago, and if I activate push email my battery deads after around five to six hours.
The same happens with my previous phone (an N95).
I wonder if this feature is really usable at all.

Let me first apologize if this is a question which has been discussed at length in another area.
My company currently uses blackberrys with an enterprise exchange e-mail system (i suppose that is called BES with blackberrys, no?). Anyway, on my old blackberry, all I had to do was put in my corporate e-mail and an enterprise activation password. From there the setup would do the rest. Is there any way to get my new MyTouch phone to get hooked into the system the same way my blackberry was? Cost is irrelevant, I just want to find a solution.
I have looked at software options (i.e. touchdown, and the work email program) with no luck.
Thanks for any help the community could offer!
-Ryan
Sorry I got no answer, but this is ment to be posted in the general discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=492
Reported
BES servers users BES accounts and they link are like this:
Blackberry <-> BES <-> Exchange
In Android, iPhone or Windows Mobile, you need your NT IAccount credentials as you communicate directly throw your phone to the Exchange server, like this:
Device <-> Exchange
So, probably what you need is:
-Name of the server (sometimes is the OWA(Outlook Web Access) address)
-Credentials (Sometimes is needed to have in your NT Account credentials for that, in the company I'm, we call it Active Sync Access).
-Username, Network login (NT ID)
-Domain
-Password
And... yeahhh this is general!!!

Interesting.. so I believe I have everything outside the credentials part. If I have my old blackberry and my work laptop, can I obtain all the information to set up the MyTouch? If so, do you know how?
Thanks a bunch!
-Ryan
Ryan, what I tried to explain to you is that the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) account, you can only use to your Blackberry. Any of the information there, except the e-mail address you'll use to configure your exchange account in an Android phone.
There's also other issue, not all exchange accounts will be working with the normal exchange e-mail feature on the Android, the to the security policies of some companies.
I can help you configure that, no prob man.. This is the list of things that you need to ask your IT department on your company:
- Username
- Password (will be the same as your e-mail)
- Domain
- Server address (in some cases are the same as the webmail address (OWA - Outlook Web Access).
P.S.: Ask them if this access force security features on your phone. If it does, Android phones haven't passwords to unlock and won't match the requirements for having this feature on your phone. You'll need to download a program for that (I don't remember what was that, but in the general section, you'll find as other person indicated me).
And you'll be set...
My best regards,
R
you need to also make sure that on your exchange account, they have Microsoft Activesync enabled on your account in order to allow mobile devices other than blackberry's can access corporate emails. you need to ask your admin on this part.
