I am a noob and was wondering how this works without a Blackberry enterprise server? I have an 8830 Verizon Wireless and was wondering how my work email is getting to my phone? I put in my username and password, where are those being stored? Does my mail have to bounce through Canada (thought I read that somewhere)? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Since you are not on a BES, you are on BIS. This is the "consumer" version of BlackBerry severs. Your email is running through their server and is being pushed to your device.
