Cool, let me know how you get on. It also bugs me that I cannot have files and tasks synced via activesync. So a little further down the track I might have a look at OneBridge.

That feature does exist with ActiveSync 3.7.1 and Exchange 2003. Making it work may be another thing entirely. :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Cunningham Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 3:48 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: BES & Exchange 2K3 integration The one thing Activesync does not do (that I have found) is to push notifications of new emails. It can sync to the server every 5 mins (or later) and different schedule for peak and off peak times. I have yet to find out the overhead (i.e. cost) in checking every 5 mins. Telecom here were punting onebridge as a local solution.

One thing I am going to be testing shortly is GPRS access to e-mail via these units, as this will then solve the "accessing e-mail without my laptop" issue he wants the Blackberry for. He does understand that, essentially, the BB is online all the time and sends e-mail as it arrives, where as with a GPRS connection you have to establish the connection but once you have, you are in business. I am just trying to be ready by being forewarned of traps, etc, in case we HAVE to go with a BB for him and some of the other techno-phobe-managers. Thanks for the continued help, all! themolk. BTW - did y'all see that RC1 of SP1 for Win2K3 server is out now, with the RTM version "due" 2nd quarter 2005 - wonder what this will do to us that have Ex2K3 on Win2K3?!!? ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Michael B.
