- Pardon my ignorance, but I have an IMAP email account on my Berry, but I have absolutely no idea how to access folders. The "view folder" option just seems to offer my sms and mms folders. Does anyone know how I might get to my imap folders? I use Fastmail if that matters.09-30-08 08:17 PMLike 0

- If only I bothered to check that before buyng the BB... Gosh darn. Windows Mobile runs circles around this thing.10-22-08 01:26 PMLike 0
- I think once you start using the BB your opinion will change. But maybe a BB is not the right device for you, IMO.10-23-08 02:55 PMLike 0
- It's not a bad device, but e-mail is decidedly crippled compared to Windows Mobile. Like others, I have multiple folders to organize a large amount of e-mail. Can't really be productive with "Inbox" only.10-23-08 03:11 PMLike 0

- Look, this is wrong. Instead of providing a true-to-God e-mail client, RIM gives us a crippled software and promises a workaround at an extra charge.10-28-08 12:00 PMLike 0

- I think to go ahead and completely bash the BlackBerry's e-mail platform due to it not filling your particular needs is a bit over-exaggerated. While I do agree that IMAP folder support on BIS would be nice, it's lack doesn't make RIM's platform "decidedly crippled".
BlackBerries aren't for anyone. Same with Windows Mobile, Symbian, Palm, Android, or any other platform. That's the beauty about having so many choices.
I hope you figure out an appropriate solution that satisfies your needs whether it's on a BlackBerry or not.11-19-08 04:34 PMLike 0 - I think to go ahead and completely bash the BlackBerry's e-mail platform due to it not filling your particular needs is a bit over-exaggerated.

I was really getting frustrated that I couldn't view my email folders and every where I looked it said it couldn't be done.
But now I know it can be done and works great, I am a changed man and I love my blackberry... don't tell my wife she might get jealous.11-19-08 05:57 PMLike 0 -

It has many strong features and the user interface is well thought out. I'm mostly glad I bought it. As you can also see from this thread, "particular needs" happen to fit many people's workstyle and aren't my presonal quirk.
Sorry, but that's too much of religious fervor to my taste.
you state your opinion, and that is perfectly acceptable and everyone should listen to it. i state mine, and suddenly i'm personally attacking those with said opinion. and if you wanna get technical about it, 5 or so people with this "quirk" that have posted in the thread out of the millions of BlackBerry users does not equal a major problem percentage-wise (and before your solid wisdom and responds "we're not the only ones that hate this problem", don't bother. i'm not stupid and know that obviously).
religious ferver? i make a kind statement about hoping that you find something that works well for you and it's religious ferver? and this coming from the person who's user name is buddhasystem? seriously? wow....11-20-08 01:36 PMLike 0 - I love the GMAIL app, doesn't use up my memory with email messages, and I can organize folders how I want! Plus it's IMAP so perfect sync!11-20-08 02:50 PMLike 0

- I would tend to agree. I work for a company that developes apps for the BB, and have always carried a WM device until now (Storm). I just got off the phone with BB support and my issue is that I have 66 emails in my IMAP inbox and the only way to get those to the phone is to forward them one by one back to my email. When I told the guy the problem then would be that every email would then be shown "From" me and not the original sender, he said that is just how it is. There is no way to get older emails onto the deivce prior to the time you created the email account on the device. I find this very dissappointing since the RIM's claim was "The ultimate email device".
Overall, i think the phone is pretty good, but with the lack Email capabilities and the lack of Wi-Fi, its nothing more then a "fad" phone for the time being IMO.

I won't be forwarding the 1000 mails to BB and have them under the same sender, thank you but no.
RIM leaves you dead in the water if you use your mail to the fullest (which the BB is supposed to be all about). What a a shame.12-02-08 12:52 PMLike 0 - To get old messages to flow to your Blackberry inbox, using your desktop email client, try deleting them to your trash folder, then restoring (undeleting/moving) them from trash back to your inbox. This did the trick for me in gmail using IMAP. Keeps the same sender info and date.02-25-09 12:05 PMLike 0
