Re: Blackberry and Domino?

Roger,

As Gregg said you can use POP/IMAP for accessing the mail, but it will not 
do the calendar functions.  We have ours set up that way, although we are 
in the process of going to a BES server.

I am not familiar at all with the actual set-up of Domino and the 
Blackberries for this, but it is not exceptionally difficult to do.  One 
caution I would offer is that if you use this approach you will need to 
keep a careful watch over the IMAP process.  If you don't, it will take 
over you system and cause some major processing headaches.

Thank you,
