as far as I know you can not send a BBM message from the Message "folder" you can send a PIN, a email, and a SMS/MMS but not a BBM directly
on my OS 5 device I see
compose Email
Compose PIN
Compose SMS Text
Compose MMS
Compose Instant Message - Takes me TO BBM then I must open the BBM chat window and compose the message as I always would.
On my Torch I have the option to compose an instant message from the messages screen. When selected it gives me the options of BMM and GoogleVoice. If I select BBM, it just opens BBM as deRusett said.
Do you know that if you go into the bbm app and go to options that you can check for your bbm chats to show up in your mailbox? After you do that anyone you chat with will show up in your mailbox. There is also the ability to move a bbm contact to your home screen. I have my husband on the home screen which is really handy since we use bbm all the time!
