You can use the Blackberry Internet Service.
You configure options within the Blackberry Internet Service website such as
signature information and the amount of time mail is to be kept, as well as
being able to set up other email accounts such as GMAIL. You can also set
that all mail that is sent from your Blackberry looks like it has been sent
from your work email address and you can also add yourself as a BCC to every
mail you send so you get a copy of the sent email into your Notes inbox.
This is a one way sync. You set up a rule in your Notes mail file to forward
all your email to your Blackberry Internet Service email address. So all
mail that comes into your Notes inbox is forwarded to your Blackberry.
You load Blackberry Desktop software onto your computer and this allows you
to sync your address book, calendar and journal. I had a quick look at that
Martin Scott thing in the past and it seemed ok. From memory you load it on
your Notes client. Then on your Blackberry you can send commands back to
your Notes mail and it can retrieve mail that is no longer on your
Blackberry.
Everything above, except MartinScott, is free after you buy your Blackberry.
It works quite effectively and we haven't had any need to go to the extra
expense of BES.

Subject: Blackberry and Domino?
I have a CFO and and a COO that are looking at getting Blackberries and
they want to be able to:
1) Access their email at any time and place via the cell network
2) Access their office desktops at any time and place via the cell network
The only server in house is the IBM i and it is running Domino 8.1 and the
Apache web server with plugin for Domino. All Domino users are using
either the Notes client or DWA.
I thought I had read in the lists that you had to have a Blackberry server
in order for them to access their Domino mail. However the cell rep is
saying all they have to do is load a free piece of software on any PC.
Is the above true?
How about security if the above is true?
Is there any secure way for them to take remote control of their office
desktop when there is no Wintell server present?
Thanks.
Roger Vicker, CCP
