I work for a School System who's server security does not allow me to use the school e-mail server address to access my work e-mail. This defeats the purpose of having a blackberry! The school told me I had to have a phone with EAS (exchange active Sync). Is there something I can download to make this possible or do I have to get rid of my blackberry within the first month that I got it?
I can currently sync with my Outlook and have my calendar and my contacts, but can't access my Outlook e-mail.
We have a "staff portal" which is "portal.elkhart.k12.in.us" which I access from any computer when away from the office, but when I type in that same address on my blackberry browser I get this warning:
"Error 50:Service Unavailable" and "The server is currently unable to handle your request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. Please try loading a different page . Contact your service provider if this problem persists."
Yep that is what i was tryng to say, you can add OWA in your BIS account, works, well.
I had used OWA to access my work email, but in a fit of rage, I removed that account (oops). When I try to add it back on, I continually get an error message saying the url is wrong (it isn't) and to check with my work email administrator. I can use my work's BES, but I don't want to, not to mention the increased cost/decreased features if i change my data plan. My IT dept tried using Microsoft Active Sync to just get my email to my bb, but that doesn't seem to be working either. Any suggestions?
