Re: SBS Exchange w/POP3 and Blackberry users

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Setup the option to use BIS with OWA, and is working fine. There is still
one odd issue going on. The user has rules set up in OWA/Outlook to move
emails from senders into specific folders (i.e. - if from Joe, move to Joe
folder in inbox). After I set up BIS/OWA, the emails from internal users
that did NOT have a rule set up were fine. But the ones from Doug and John,
who had rules, were not. Once he removed the rule for Doug and John, they
got to the blackberry fine.

Any ideas on that?

thanks for all the help so far!

The POP connector is a kluge. I recommend you change this to direct SMTP
delivery of your mail - for reasons too numerous to enumerate here. :)

Have a user with a new Blackberry.
They are getting the mail fine by pulling from the externally hosted
email. But, the mail that is internal to the network and does not
route outside of SBS is not pulling into Blackberry. Naturally,
since that email never gets to the externally hosted site, makes
sense. But how do I get the internal emails to his blackberry?

The best way to use a Blackberry with Exchange is to also have Blackberry
Enterprise Server. This will wirelessly sync all mail, contacts, calendar,
tasks, notes, to the handheld. You get one license for it with a blackberry
device. I personally don't install this on SBS or any Exchange server (a
virtual server is fine) but many do.

If you can't swing that, then at least use BIS - Blackberry Internet
Service - meaning,. you'd configure the Blackberry to connect to your
Exchange server via a proxy for OWA (you do this on the wireless provider's
website if they support it).

If you can't do *that*, then set up an AD contact for the user's Blackberry
email address and configure a forward from his/her mailbox. This isn't great
but works.

Either of the above will get *all* the inbox mail to the BB. The latter will
not sync sent items & has other downaides as well.
