BlackBerry Direct connect is on this ROM. Has somebody some experience with using this service in TM network. I am looking for some direct push mail solution and this one looks fine (ane paid :? ).
my main concern is, if it is possible to use for example mail2web service in combination with blackberry connect etc. etc. ... I do not have my own Exchange server.
and as I understand it .... if i want just Instant mails I dont need exchange server...am I right?
Hi Guys
im currently using the LVSW rom (which is awesome by the way!) and have it perfecto apart from one issue.
I seem unable to tell it that my Exchange mail is HTML. The dialogue for this is greyed out in the settings and I can find no way to enable this and so all my mail is coming down as plain text. In the meantime I have switched back to IMAP.
Is this a LVSW build issue or something I don't understand/missed. I must point out that this is very possible as i'm a total newb!!!
Out of curiosity, does the fact that activesync is constantly on (And appears to be connected - but this could be "push" technology) drain my battery?
Many thanks for your help!!!

You need exchange 2007.
Look at my post I have adapted a doc from someone else in the community...
Also have a look www.httpsync.net ....
You will found some doc. about Direct Push even with Exchange 2007 sp1 ..
Ahh ok.
Thanks very much
Guess I will be sticking with IMAP then
How well does it work on the hermes compared to having exchange setup? Thinking of switching to it but was wondering the pros/cons, I know a lot use it here so i figured it would be fine to ask in the wm6 section. Also does it sync contacts like exchange does? Thanks
If you are or work for a company that uses Exchange 2003 SP2 or Exchange 2007 then there is zero need for BB. BB is for companies that:
Use older versions of Exchange or other brands of mail servers.
Have lots of users locked in to BB contracts with their providers
Just fear change.
Functionally, they work exactly the same. Practically, I jumped for joy the day I got rid of my Blackberry and went to WM with a push-enabled Exchange server, it handles email/PIM stuff so much better. But if you are still working for or with a company stuck in BB land, but want to use push with the Hermes, then I suppose BBConnect is the holy grail. If not, there is certainly no reason to switch TO BBConnect/BBServer.

Well I need 5 push accounts and with exchange I can only have one, I recently started my own company so I have multiple business addresses that I personally read if not respond to.
Does BBConnect enable support for multiple push accounts? or does it require the consolidation into a single BB Internet account?
I was under the impression (possibly incorrectly) that you could only be tied to one BB Enterprise Server.
Can anyone confirm? I'm in the same situation...

For me, version 2.1.2.31 BES (BB Enterprise Server ) works excellent. Email and Calendar. Address book is corporate and I can do lookups, but contacts I sync only with my home PC. Never used with BIS ( BB Internet Service ).

I think only one BES or BIS. I also have pocket outlook pulling my personal mail with POP from Yahoo and Gmail every 10 mins.
BIS vs. BES
hi guys. i'm no expert but I am using the blackberry internet service which supports gmail, yahoo, imap, and pop mail servers. I think there are 2 flavors of bbconnect, the enterprise version and the internet service. I work for a small business so i'm out a lot selling but keep in touch with the office mail using blackberry and the business imap server. been using it for over a year and so far so good. not sure if you can run bis and bes over the same bbconnect client though.

There are some big security implications for using Exchange push email vs BB.. so its not quite as simple as people fearing change if they already have BB established.
@custel,
I am fortunate to have BB, Good, and Exchange and I must tell you now with a Pocket PC (PPC) there is nothing like Exchange 2007. BBConnect is limited on the features you can have with PPC, however it is great if you have a BlackBerry device. Good Technology takes over you PPC and it is very heavy on the resource side. However, you are looking for a single interface for various devices and don't care about any thing else on the device, then Good is excellent. With Exchange 2007, well you already have all of the tools you will need and there is no need for any additional client on the PPC. Overall if you are only concern with the e-mail part and nothing else, then they will all do the job and you ust have to pick one. In my case I prefer the Exhange push because I don't have to be bother with third party software.
I'm running BBconnect 4.0.0.67 with a BES service. BBC4 contains further security settings and services; giving me email, calendar, tasks, contacts note syncing and a blackberry browser.

whats the rom OS version (5.x.xxx), AKU and system version (found in the BBC about tab)?
I think we have similar requirements, this is how I set mine up for very little outlay
I also have my own business and this is the setup I am using and it works very well for me.
I Have a VPOP3 mail server (www.pscs.co.uk)
And each user has a mail2web account (the free one)
In Vpop3 I have it set so that each user's assistant is set to their mail2web account (this automatically forwards all mail to the mail2web account as well as leaving it in the users mailbox for when he downloads mail to his outlook on his pc. The only negatives is that when I send mail from my Hermes it shows my mail2web account but I use a signature on my device that informs the recipient that the mail was sent from my mobile and that they should please reply to the following account etc.
This solution works really well for me.
My Wife is on a corporate Blackberry server with a proper blackberry device and when I send a test mail to mine and her device mine gets the email withing 30 seconds where hers sometimes takes up to 15mins.

Thanks dude. I'll give them a try...
Edit: Hmmm I've tried that combination before and my BB 4 client is generating the same BB system version but I'm getting illegal pin. I wonder if RIM is checking device type as well as I'm on a Wizard...
Does BBConnect enable you to send and receive PIN messages? That's the one thing Exchange push lacks. It's a nice thing to fall back on should there be anything wrong with either the Exchange or BES servers.
Does anyone know how to get im+ to work through blackberry's connection? That is the 1 downfall for me because I stay connected all day which = no email since it goes through cingy connection, I tried to force bb connection always on with no luck...

Could you also be so kind and have a look in the following reg-hive and tell me what is listed there?
HKLM\System\Versions\DeviceVersionInfo
Access=?
DeviceType=?
FunctionCode=?
Method=?
Thanks in advance.

the ROM he is running is the Black 3.0.1 WM6 ROM which the coredll.dll has been hex edited to allow BBC 4.0 to work

On BES that will be a problem, as the connection is established with blackbery.net ( private, NAT'ed ). And it gets groped when any other edge/3g connection is requested.
Dear All,
I was working (quite happily) with WM5 on my HERMES (MDA Vario II - HERM300), but a friend told me that WM6 was MUCH better and that the reception is MUCH better and the facilities on this nice, new, Dutty V2 version of WM6 was brilliant and... (get the drift?)
Well, I upgraded, according to the instructions with the ROM, including upgrading the radio and SPL (Hard-SPL, now) and I now have NO email! I got this FOR the email!
I had some issues with the phone and each has been resolved. I am hoping that these issues will be resolved as well by listening...
Anyway, I cannot receive my HoTMaiL email (as I could with WM5) and I cannot get my OWA email.
I used to be able to download my HoTMaiL via Windows Live, but that has stopped working after about 2 days. I have NEVER been able to send emails via HoTMaiL (under WM6). I send an email and it stays in the Outbox. When I do a Send/Receive, it sits there for a long time trying to synchronise folders and then returns that it Failed to sync.
I get the same problem with my OWA email as well - it cannot sync folders and cannot send emails. I have installed the certificate for the OWA machine and I am referencing the right address (owa.xxx.com) as in the certificate, but to no avail.
Although I do have HSDPA on the phone (and its beautiful), reception seems not to be any better and *CAN* be worse!
Lastly, I cannot change the soft keys on the phone - I understood that the ordinary application was removed, but I cannot find the replacement for this to change these keys.
Hoping that a noobie can be helped,
QuietLeni
some more information:
I have since solved the HoTMaiL issue - my phone was in a bad reception area (OK, schoolboy error, but the phone USED to receive there fine...)
...but I STILL can't synchronise with our Exchange 2003 server, even in a good reception area or over 54mbps WLAN!
So, the questions are these, now:
1) is there a reception problem with the 1.4 Radio ROM, as I used to have slower speed, but better coverage with 1.12?
2) is there a compatibility problem between Exchange 2003/OWA (on SBS 2003) and WM6.0? Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Thanks in advance.
QuietLeni
Got a little further...
Dear All,
I'm a little further forward... ...I have sussed out that the WM6 machine *IS* synchronising, BUT no emails are not sending or receiving.
What is going on?
Help
QuietLeni
I apologize in advance if this has already been answered but i have been looking for the solution for a couple of days now and have had zero success.
I have my t-mobile dash setup for pop3 email with my own domain. When I first setup the email account, the email is all downloaded fine. After that, it just stops working and hangs at "looking for changes". I can go into tools and modify the settings in there to download from 5k to 20k or make any changes in there it will download once, but then stop again.
One other fact about this is that it started once I updated my Dash from WM 5 to WM 6. I have since tried WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 and have the same problem on all.
Does anyone have any advice or solutions to this? I have seen a few people post the same question, but never any replies.
Are you using the TZones hack? If so, there is one more change needed to make your email work correctly. Look it up in the WIKI...it's the last thing on the list.
Sorry...not in the WIKI....just search for the TZones hack. It's in there.
No, I am not using the TZone hack. I have just upgraded my WM to 6.0, then 6.1, then 6.5 and have had the same problem on all of them.
It seems that using Exchange instead of POP works fine, but my email is not on an exchange server so I have to use POP.
I just put WM5 back on my dash and now my email works fine. Same setup and same account as before. The only difference is running WM5 instead of WM6, WM6.1 or WM6.5. I am not sure why that would make a difference, but I would LOVE to run a newer version of WM on my dash if anyone can shed some light on the pop email problem I am having.
I just read some other posts addressing a similar issue where a pop email setup on WM 6.1 kept "looking for changes" and wanted to check through all 6000 or so messages on the server. The recommendation was to set it up using IMAP. Does anyone know why the pop setup would be a problem but the IMAP would work?
Thanks
