RE: Can I use Blackberry's for AS400 email?

Tom:
IIRC, the blackberry solution needs to have your PC client up and
running.  I believe the PC receives your email (so it does not care what
the backend POP3 server is) and forwards them to your Blackberry.  I
have not had a Blackberry, but know someone who does and this is how he
explained it to me.  I thought it was pretty low tech.

For remote, wireless email, I have a Samsung i300 Palm phone (it is a
year old now and I am waiting for Kyocera to release it's 3G 7135 Palm
phone).  On the i300 I use Eudora's POP3 palm client.  It is a pretty
neat POP3/SMTP email client and allows me to download my emails very
nicely when I am not near a real PC.  While it does not push the mail
the way a blackberry does, it is a good solution for me.  I have heard
others say they use the Eudora software and have their email servers
send a text message to their phone when a message arrives in their inbox
so they know when to download.  BTW, I also use the same Palmphone with
Mochasoft's Palm TN5250 client to check on my AS400s from anywhere.
Pretty cool solution.

Can I use Blackberry's to retrieve my AS400-based email (native, not
Notes)?  How would I do that while on the road?  I have VPN access to
the AS400.
