What email issues are you having with your BB? Things not syncing up? What provider are you using? If you are using Verizon, you may want to contact Telecom Systems -- we have contacts there who may be able to help offset the cost of a BES server. -Nick -----Original Message----- From: Aldrich, Dak [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 10:55 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] BES inquiry... Ok. So... I'm new to this trend called a BlackBerry. (It will NEVER replace the iPhone, but for work, I just couldn't justify a second iPhone to keep work and personal phones separate...) In every way it is great for what I need, except for the main reason I got it.. It's email functionality is SO far under the bar, it's almost unusable without the BES. As I have a few BB users here, I'm going to be getting the BES, which i understand will solve all of my email woes... However, I haven't had a chance to read up much on it. I was wondering about others using it out there... do you run it on it's own dedicated server? or do you run it right on the exchange server? I will have no more than 5 users using it. Is there any advice that you all might have on it, regarding the setup or general maintenance, that might be useful to a newbie? Thanks! -dak ------------------------------ -dak aldrich -network admin -college of music, msu [log in to unmask] -517.432.5045 -http://comit.music.msu.edu
