My Boss wants a Spare BB, any idea how I can setup two BB's on the same email account

We're running our own Exchange server, and pushing emails with BES. We've got a bunch of 8300's and 8700c's. I'm the I.T. Manager.

Here's the scenario. The boss (uber-rich millionaire-type) wants a second bb setup on his email account. The second BB needs to be up and running at all times, so if he forgets his BB in the car, he's got a spare BB waiting for him on the plane.

I called RIM, and they said they dont support 2 BB's on the same email account.

My first thought was to forward all his incoming email and sent mail to a second email account, then setup the Spare BB to check that email account. The problem is, it wont be perfect. The spare wont show read vs unread, and wont stay synced with the original account...

Any ideas?

I haven't administered an exchange sercer but I do manage a large mail server system and BB's. I had to do the same thing you are and the best way is to setup another account, and have it share the same folder for storage.

That way you have two logins but they share the exact same files and setting.

If you need help PM me
