Hi, I'm thinkinh of buying a BB Bold for personal use but I would also like to get my work emails. I think my work use BES as I've borrowed the BBs before and am able to connect to email and callender etc. However I don't want to suffer the restrictions that come with the work BBs i.e. blocked sites etc.
It will depend entirely on how your work's email system is set up, so you'll have to ask one of your admins.
At my job I cannot directly access my e-mail without attaching my Berry to the BES server. However, they were nice enough to create a web-based e-mail browser so I can get my email that way if I really really want to.
