BES / BIS - Email sent to gmail account appears in both mailboxes
- Ok.. Weird thing here.. Probably an easy fix though.
I have my corporate email and then I set up my person through BIS just now (SPRINT). It created another mailbox for me and I see both of them. When I get an email to my personal email it goes into both mailboxes (or messages). When I
Any ideas?
Thanks

This can't be right. Why would it create separate physical icons but then put them all back together in the messages folder. Absolutely counter intuitive.

I think the thought was "it'd be more convenient to have everything in one view". It does take some getting used to if you've come from other devices that do things differently.
I wish there was a built-in option to change the color/font/something to make it easier to tell the diff between email from diff accounts. That's one nice feature of the 3rd-party Empower html plugin.02-16-08 02:03 PMLike 0 - Thanks..

I have several mailboxes that I actually hide, since they clutters the main screen and harder to navigate to the other icons
This way I only have 1 mail message that show all incoming messages.02-16-08 02:04 PMLike 0 -
- My girlfriend has a pearl 8130 (os: 4.3) and was wondering how to separate her gmail and and bes messages. She called verizon and they recommended this workaround which allows you to setup a shortcut key to filter the messages in your Messages folder.
Here's how:
-At the home screen, open Messages.
-Press options (the button with all of the dots to the left of the trackball).
-Scroll down and select Search
-Scroll down and change service to Desktop, leave everything else blank/default.
-choose menu > save.
-Set the title to something (ex. Corp Mail) - it doesn't really matter
-then choose a shortcut letter (this will be the shortcut key).
-Save your settings.
When you return to the messages folder, you can filter out your BES messages by pressing ALT and the shortcut key you assigned earlier. not ideal, but a good workaround.
