    Hi everyone,
    My husband is getting a BB as his work phone so he can check emails etc while he is traveling. As my husband is a bit of a workaholic, we were wondering if there is a way that I can set up a profile that we can call 'weekend' that won't allow emails to come through until he changes the profile back to 'normal' or something.

    Hope everyone can understand this

    Thank you

    You can't stop the emails from getting to the device, but you can change the notification so it won't make and noise.

    options>security options>firewall

    enable the firewall and check BIS or Enterprise depending on what service he has. now you will not get emails but when you re-enable i dont think they will all of the sudden be delivered. You will have to forward any emails that you didnt get sent to the device during that time period.

    Never used it but in theory this will stop the emails. Now if you just want to stop the notification you can easy setup a new sound profile and call it weekend with emails from that email account silent.

    I have never heard you give bad advice and I am not saying that this is, but it is a pain in the ***. I have tried it and it sucks. I guess it depends on how bad you want tot block email.

    haha, i never said it would also stop other services from working....i figured you would also know that would stop ALL BIS server push actions.
