Not through the normal means.. you may have to use Google Sync.

BIS is typically only email, and it's not reconciled.

That is all they need to do for you to do a enterprise activation.

I'm still having problems with my corporate email.

I contacted my company IT dept. They sent me a password. I went into setup wizard, enterprise server activation, entered my corp. email addy, then the password, hit activate and then saw a screen saying " activating" but nothing ever happens.

I put another call into the IT dept. Just seeing if anybody knows anything else.

I just got the Curve, could it be that VZW did not add the BES option to my plan?

I am considering upgrading my blackberry. I want to continue accessing my work emails through my company's BES system, but want to configure my new blackberry to receive emails from my personal yahoo account. The person at the AT&T store said that on the BES system, access to all email, including access to Yahoo accounts are run through your employer's server. A second AT&T employee told me that I could download Go Yahoo on the blackberry and that way my personal email would run through the yahoo server independent of the BES server. What, if any of this is true?

Hello to all with my first post..
Actually my first post comes with a question

Why BES subscription is expensive than BIS subs.?
I mean I pay around 40$ to my carrier for BES..
only BIS costs around 28$

how do I get rid of the continuous RIM "This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server." I'm getting them every 20 minutes. I have the BIS set up. they just started last night.

I am more confused now with BES and BIS

By forwarding all work email to the gmail account setup on your Blackberry does this also take care your calendar updates?

I have a question:

I have a my own bb (ATT) set up to push my corp. email as well as several other accounts via BIS. What I would like to do is have my corp. email only set up via bes so that I can have true synching (my job uses T-Mobile if that matters). What do I need to do? I don't want the job issued 8700 bb and I want to keep my ATT plan, all I want is my job emails via bes, can this be done?

You'd need to get IT involved for anything BES related. They must import your account from the GAL, then add an activation password.

If they know it's personal, they may not add it.

There's nothing you can do to get around this.. IT MUST be involved to create the account on the BES.

[mookish]

I know that they have to get involved, the question is...is there any issues with me running my corp email from BES and still using my other acounts via BIS and using my own ATT voice/data services. IOW, I want to keep everything I have now as is, just access corp email via BES. I don't want to have to switch over to their plan or phone. I realize that they would put some sort of policy on my phone, but their policy isn't that restrictive.

Do you have a BES plan on your personal device? If not, AT&T blocks the connectivity I believe..this is why there's the personal BIS plan, and enterprise BES plan..

It's pretty stupid, but it's their way of extorting money out of you for absolutely no reason at all..

[mookish]

Ahh, I though I could just give IT, my IMEI or whatever info they needed and they could just give me an enterprise activation password. Not that simple eh?

So If I switched to a BES plan, how would I access my other accounts?

[sniffs]

BES plans allow for BIS connectivity, but not 100% sure if a BIS plan will connect into a corporate BES.. I dont believe it will.
