Entourage & Blackberry?

E

Erin Ennis

I'm using Entourage & my Mac for all my business email, but I'd like to get
a Blackberry to check email from the road.

Is it possible to do so using Entourage? If not, is there another means to
set it up for a Mac?

A Blackberry accesses your email account on the server, not through the
client.

Are you interested in getting your work email or your personal email through
EarthLink? Blackberry has to email modes - either through an add-on that
integrates with a corporate email server (Exchange or Lotus Notes), or a
POP3 interface.

Your best bet is to contact your email service provider and ask them if they
support Blackberry access. Some ISPs block outgoing email if it does not
come from inside their network.

But.... the Blackberry also uses the USB port and Windows software to
synch mail as well as contacts and calendar. It also charges through
the USB port - so unless these is some Mac synch software available as
an alternative, the Blackberry will not be as effective - you can send
and receive email wirelessly from the server, but synching your data
will no work.
