As BlackBerry Internet Mail is a stand-alone solution you do not have to manage a dedicated server to host the service, simplifying the solution and keeping costs down.
BlackBerry Internet Mail devices are supplied with the latest Desktop Manager software, a proven application for synchronising your contacts and calendar with Microsoft Outlook, backing up your data and installing other applications to your BlackBerry. To run Desktop Manager your computer will need to meet the following requirements:
PC
Microsoft Outlook® 2000/2002/2003
PC with Intel486™ processor or higher
One available USB port
Apple Macintosh
Apple Macintosh users can now synchronise Address Book, iCal, Now Contact, Now Up-To-Date and Stickies Notes with a BlackBerry handheld over USB (via a third party product). BlackBerry is also fully compatible with Apple iSync and your BlackBerry will even charge its battery when plugged in to an Apple Mac over USB.
If your provider of the POP3 / IMAP4 email account(s) you wish to integrate with your BlackBerry will not allow emails to be forwarded to an alternative address, please contact us prior to ordering this product in order that we may first verify compatibility.
