How does push email work with POP3?
- Hey everyone,
I'm getting my pearl tomorrow through Telus. My friend works there and said no matter what email I use, it's always push. I'm just confused though, if my provider is POP3, how is it push? Does the telus blackberry internet server just keep checking my mail every few seconds non stop and send to me, or does it check every minute or so? If thats the case then its not really push since my old treo used to have to check every few minutes itself. Can someone explain how this works?02-22-08 11:20 AMLike 0 - Basically you're not going to set up the actual pop account on your device. Instead you'll set it up through BIS which can be configured through your device. The blackberry servers will then maintain a persistant connection to your mail server and push a new email to your device when it arrives.

- Of course you're gonna get BlackBerry.net e-mail addresses almost instantly - the e-mail account is owned and hosted by Research in Motion (RIM) themselves!

If you use a POP3 account, then the RIM servers check your mail using the POP3 mail protocol every 15 minutes, if there is any new mail picked up, this is then pushed out instantly to your device.
So, 15 mins should be the max you wait for a message unless it is sent to your carrier email address.

- CB02-23-08 08:29 AMLike 0 - sorry to rehash an old thread but what about IMAP accounts like my university e-mail address? How long will that take...assuming I DON'T have it forwarded to gmail/blackberry email account.----NEVERMIND FOUND OUT ANSWER (15 min as well)
New question:
If I have my Gmail and My .edu email's both getting forwarded to my blackberry, then I get an email and reply to it, can I have the blackberry send it FROM the original address it was sent TO?
Ie someone sends me an email to my @gmail.com, it gets fwded to my blackberry.net email, pushed to my device, i reply, they recieve it, on their computer it says that it was from [email protected]?
Someone else sends me an email to my @blah.edu, it gets fowded to my blackbery.net email, pushed to my device, i reply, they recieve it, on their computer it says [email protected]??
Is this possiblee? Pleaseee help, thank you!!!04-24-08 09:49 AMLike 0 - I've got a filter set up on my gmail, so that every new message is forwarded to my blackberry email. From the BIS login I was able to set the reply address on my blackberry email as my gmail addy.
Any gmail email I reply to using my BB appears to have been sent from my gmail addy, and not the blackberry one. The only thing is that the message isn't then kept in the gmail sent folder but I can live with that04-24-08 11:13 AMLike 0 -
Finally, what do you mean it's not kept in the sent folder? I thought that's what BB automatically does, they BCC you a copy of the messages you send tagged for sent items?04-24-08 01:22 PMLike 0
