Is there a way to separate your blackberry.net mail from messages? Every time I receive an email to my blackberry.net address I get a notification (red star) on both the blackberry.net icon and messages icon on the Home Screen and the message gets saved in both. I went into 'Options' for both email and messages and selected 'Separate' for the SMS and Email InBoxes option.
By design, ALL messages go to the Messages Folder, as well as to their respective BIS inboxes. You can't turn this off. Some people choose to separate the SMS and email inboxes and hide the Messages folder. The other option (that I prefer) is to let the Message Folder be a one-stop-shop for all message traffic. I don't separate SMS and emails, and I hide the email inboxes. It's user preference, either way.
Another point to consider is that the main Messages folder is simply a folder that shows all your messages in one folder. It does not have an additional copy of the message. So when you delete the message in the Message folder or from the individual account folder, it will also be removed from the other folder.
That seems to be the best option. I have my messages folder on the home screen and have my email folder hidden. You are right about the message folder regarding deleting messages. I tried deleting a message from the blackberry.net folder and the same message did not get removed from the messages folder. I did the same thing with the messages folder and the same message was also removed from the blackberry.net folder. Thanks for the help.
