Calling BES Admins
I've been demo-ing a new BB device and BES server. I miss a few features that the Goodlink Messaging Server offered, and that I have grown to love... 1st. Message Flags? Can't seem to do this. Is this device specific or is it a limitation of the server/service itself. Does BB plan on deploying this someday? 2nd. Reply/Forward message icons next to the message. Kinda like what outlook does, it has a purple arrow if you replied to the message, and a blue one if you have forwarded it. When I am on my device, I like to be able to know what I have/haven't responded too. My Sprint account manager tells me that he has this on his BB, but doesn't remember how he did it. Any other tips for a 1st time BES admin? (must know tricks and settings?) Thanks!

RE: Calling BES Admins
1) Nope, something I've desired for many years now because it's how I manage my inbox. The way I've worked around this is set delete only on device. Mark something and unread and delete it. Then I know to work on it back in my Outlook client. Though I've changed this now and I leave any actionable item in the inbox and move/file all other messages to a specific sub folder. A company by link-two makes an add-on for this: I haven't personally used it, but understand it will accomplish what you want, however unsure if it will sync back to Outlook. http://www.link-two.com/bb.html 2) Nope, you only get read/unread and sent state. If you have any kind of compliance requirements, I would play with the encryption, feature(camera, Bluetooth, etc) enablement/disablement policies. What are you looking to do with them? I assume with Good you were using Treo/WinMo devices which is why you were looking for the features below.

RE: Calling BES Admins
Thanks, good to know. I will look into that system.Yep, we are in the Treo\Goodlink world. We are not switching, just evaluating what else is out there. And I have a BB Curve on a 30 demo. (Drool). I am finding that Good is insanely cheaper than BES, and even cheaper than just the BB Data Plans alone for that matter :( From: Barsodi.John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 3:33 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Calling BES Admins 1) Nope, something I've desired for many years now because it's how I manage my inbox.

RE: Calling BES Admins
Very true, we have our eyes on it. We will wait until WinMob 6 and Exchange 2007 and some nice devices arrive that utilize it. WinMob 5 and Exch 2003 just don't have the feature-set we need and that we have grown accustomed to. Goodlink Messaging has spoiled us ;) From: Matt Lathrum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 3:50 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Calling BES Admins ActiveSync is even cheaper ;) From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 1:44 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Calling BES Admins Thanks, good to know.
