No problem, Andy... hijack away. :-) I was looking at Blackberry's website and it appears that you are correct in the statement that the only option is BIS from the cell provider, contrary to what the Verizon tech tried to tell me.

Im in the same boat (no-Exchange) and BIS isnt great either because, at least in my limited research, you cant force outgoing messages through your own SMTP server which is a requirement for us for archiving purposes. Anyone have ideas on that besides moving to Exchange like the OP, cost is a factor. (John dont mean to hijack your thread but I think this will come up for you in your research as well.) - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 10:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Blackberry server pricing Anyone here got some idea what a BES server would cost, including the hardware, software and licenses for Blackberry? Note, we do NOT have our own email server at this time, and our email is all POP3. Not sure how that would work, but that needs to be part of the discussion. ? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
