Heh, the problem isn't critical enough (for me at least) to warrant that sort of effort. In the final run, if the client's BB refuses to behave after basic testing from my end, I'm putting the ball in his court. After all, SMTP, SMTP AUTH, POP3 and IMAP4 are working fine on all other clients, so there's no reason for me to bang my head against a proprietary wall for some obscure device. On the bright side, at least they're not using cryPhones. In passing, that's the difference between setting up a "Corporate E-mail Service" and a "Mail Server". The first would involve solving all his problems on all his devices, the latter ends with proving that everything works on the server and a handful of clients. Of course, the former is 7 figures, while the latter is just 6!
