Agreed.

 

Although I’m still a fan of Microsoft ActiveSync for seamless exchange connectivity, the BES is pretty nice.  As a matter of fact I think AIS has a production BES available.

Hi Matt,

 

In my experience it’s much easier to run an Exchange server with BES.  BES allows you to manage your Blackberry devices in a centralized fashion.  Using the Blackberry Desktop Redirector can be very cumbersome and unreliable.

Can anyone give me some advice on integrating a Blackberry device with MSU mail?

Is it better to run Exchange and get the Blackberry Enterprise Server?

Can I set the Blackberry up with IMAP and use the MSU mail server instead?

Thanks,

Matt
