For those of you who use their Blackberry for business and personal use. Do you bring you Blackberry on vacation?. How do you keep work-related mail at a distance/from interfering with vacation time?

I setup a Vacation auto reply saying I am on vacation but will be periodically checking my email. I will then receive messages but there is no need to respond unless they are urgent or I have the time. The other option is to not have the email delivered to the device haha.

you can also edit the settings for your work account so emails do not forward to your device.

to do this use desktop manager, click on the email section and uncheck the box that says "forward emails to this device".

you won't be as tempted to check the messages if they are not forwarded when you are on vacation. i did it recently and the withdrawl was great! highly recommend it
