    Blackberry / Microsoft Exchange Server

    Hi all,

    I have recently purchased a reasonably old Blackberry 8700g off eBay but i was wondering if, while i am waiting for it to arrive, you could all help me with something.

    I am able to access my work emails though a web link to access the Microsoft Exchange server ... can the Blackberry be set up somehow to access work emails without having to visit the webpage?

    I know this is probably a really vague and badly worded question so if anyone needs any more information to be able to help please shout and ill update you with anything i can !

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards,

    What you need is BES - Blackberry Enterprise Server

    There are a few diferent ways of doing this apparently, but i forget the details right now. We have breifly looked into this for our work too.

    Re: Blackberry / Microsoft Exchange Server

    How about setting Exchange to make your account available over IMAP?

    Re: Blackberry / Microsoft Exchange Server

    Would this work?

    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/service...al_express.jsp

    It states:

    One free BlackBerry® Professional Software for Microsoft® Exchange or IBM® Lotus® Domino®
    One user included, expandable to 30 users (at additional cost)

    Re: Blackberry / Microsoft Exchange Server

    Oh, by the way, all of this assumes being able to set up software on the Exchange server itself or deploy another server along with it.

    You should really speak to your mail admin people to see what they can do for you. I misread your first post on the subject

    Re: Blackberry / Microsoft Exchange Server

    But there is a good chance they have things in place for their execs who undoubtedly will also have BBs

    Re: Blackberry / Microsoft Exchange Server

    If the exchange server has already been setup for the big bods to use how hard would it be for me to get my BB setup do you think?

    What would i have to do?

    Regards,

    p.s. thank you for all your help so far!
