Re: Blackberry and Domino?

Thanks everyone.

I will look at the options "and *requirements*" and see what shakes out of the trees.

They now tell me that they will be gone next week so it will be after that before the USCell rep delivers the "trial" software and phones.

On 8/6/2008 1:57 PM, carl j novit arranged the binary bits such that:

Blackberries use a push service to send email to the device, not POP3 which pulls emails from the server. My understanding is there are 3 ways to accomplish your goal.
1. Blackberry Enterprise Server for Domino - Pretty expensive for two users.
2. A client running on the PC. The PC has to be left on all the time and I'm not sure it works with Notes.
3. Wireless Email from www.martinscott.com. This is a filter that once set up pushes the email out to the blackberry. I have the mail forwarded to my Verizon account. If I send email from my BB it shows in my sent mail view. I also have it set up so my respond to address is my Notes address. For calendar synch I use the USB cable desktop software which comes with the device.
Contact me off line if I can help.

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.
