[Hidden-tech] Blackberry question

[Joseph Steig]

Jeff,

This is the Blackberry sync tool for Macintosh:

http://www.pocketmac.net/products/pmblackberry/

I haven't used it recently but apparently it does now sync e-mail. But I
don't know if it really does sync and exactly how this works.

You'd use this tool if you're using the basic standalone "webconnect"
version of Blackberry e-mail. You should know that regardless of your
computing platform, with this version of Blackberry e-mail what it does it
push a copy of your e-mail out to your Blackberry device wirelessly but
doesn't sync. In other words, if you delete an e-mail on your Blackberry,
that e-mail won't be deleted from your desktop computer. The basic
webconnect version of Blackberry e-mail only pushes e-mail. It does not sync
calendars etc., all which must be synced by cable or bluetooth between your
computer and your Blackberry. I imagine that this same cable or bluetooth
process is how PocketMac syncs e-mail. Again, take a look at their website
to confirm.

In contrast, if you're using the enterprise version of Blackberry e-mail
with a Blackberry Enterprise Server sitting on top of an Exchange (or other)
server, mail, contacts, calendar etc are synced wirelessly and it doesn't
matter if you're using a Mac or a PC.
