I'm assuming that this issue is on an MSU address? Even users that are on my Exchange, if their mail is passing through MSU mail servers, are getting anywhere from a 20-120 minute delay on sending and receiving. I was told that it was the MSU mail server when I called IT services. I can send/receive mail immediately when it's directly from my Exchange, but routed through MSU, it's gotten quite delayed. Calling IT services, hoping for a solution, I was told that it's a "known issue" with the quantity of spam that the MSU mail servers are processing. Is that what you're observing? Something unrelated to the phone itself but noticed first on that device? On Aug 19, 2013, at 8:53 AM, "Cooke, Tony" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > It appears as though OSU has (or had) BES services.

Good luck getting any value for your shareholders with a sell-off now. They lost their market advantage with the advent of iPhone and Android, and failed to make seemingly minor changes, such as supporting EAS, to stay relevant. > > Also mildly interesting: OSU uses service-now.com, and its search feature doesn't work in Chrome. > > HTH, > > -Tony > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Flourry, Adell [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2013 2:34 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Blackberry "Bold" > > Thanks for your comments and suggestions. A new phone might be the fix in the long term. I don't like doing things that depend on Gmail or Yahoo. Outlook.com I have no opinion yet. If we stay with Blackberry, Q10 keyboard might be the way to go. How about all the bad news coming out of Canada in this decision? > > Adell > > -----Original Message----- > From: Loren LaLonde [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2013 10:50 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Blackberry "Bold" > > Interesting that OSU went with outlook.com for their university email. > It's been a long time since I've tried supporting a Blackberry without BES, but I do remember reading how Google and Yahoo had some notification setup to speed up delivery to Blackberries.
