Can I integrate my device with a corporate email account if I do not have access to a
BlackBerry Enterprise Server?
If you do not have access to a BlackBerry
Enterprise Server, but you want to send and receive messages from a corporate Microsoft
Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes email account that resides on a Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus
Domino mail server, your system administrator might permit you to set up BlackBerry Internet
Service to access your corporate email. When you add your corporate email account for use with
BlackBerry Internet Service, you might be prompted to install the BlackBerry Mail Connector
program on your computer. See “Set up email using a computer” on page 12 for more information.
Alternately, if you use Microsoft Outlook
(Workgroup installation) with an email account on a Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 or later and your BlackBerry device does not have access to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, your system administrator might permit you to install the
BlackBerry Desktop Redirector on your computer to integrate your device with the email account.
To integrate your device with the email account using the BlackBerry Desktop Redirector, when you install the BlackBerry Desktop Software, select
BlackBerry Desktop Redirector as your message
redirection option. See “Set up email using the

26
getting_started.book Page 27 Tuesday, September 20, 2005 10:35 AM
Where can I download games and ring tones for my device?
You can download new programs using the
Cingular Browser (Media Net or mMode) on your
BlackBerry device, or download them using your computer and load them onto your device using the Application Loader tool of the BlackBerry
Desktop Software.
Note: Your use of third party software shall be governed by and subject to you agreeing to the terms of separate software licenses, if any, for those products or services. Any third party products or services that are provided with RIM's products and services are provided “as is”. RIM makes no representation, warranty or guarantee whatsoever in relation to the third party products or services and RIM assumes no liability whatsoever in relation to the third party products and services even if RIM has been advised of the possibility of such damages or can anticipate such damages.
Why are there multiple browser icons on the home screen?
All Cingular customers have the Cingular Browser
(Media Net or mMode) and Internet Browser icons on the Home screen. If you see an additional browser on the Home screen, you are a BlackBerry
Enterprise Server user and your system administrator has enabled the BlackBerry Browser.
Why can I not use shortcuts on the Home screen?

27
getting_started.book Page 28 Tuesday, September 20, 2005 10:35 AM
If I add a supported email account to
BlackBerry Internet Service, will email continue to be delivered to the original email account?
When you add a supported email account to
BlackBerry Internet Service, email messages continue to be delivered to the original email account as they were before you added the account to BlackBerry Internet Service. You also see email messages from the account that you have added in the message list on your BlackBerry device and in your BlackBerry Internet Service account, if you log in using a computer.
I have added a supported email account to
BlackBerry Internet Service. When I delete a message from that account on my device is it also deleted from the inbox of the original email account?
When you add a supported email account to
BlackBerry Internet Service, a link is established between your BlackBerry Internet Service account and the email account that you have added. This link enables you to send and receive email messages from your BlackBerry device using the address of the account that you have added. The device only synchronizes with messages in the
BlackBerry Internet Service account. Therefore, if you read, send, or delete a message on your device, the change is reflected in your BlackBerry
Internet Service account, but not in the email account that you have added. If you delete an email message directly from the original email account, the change is not reflected in your
BlackBerry Internet Service account, or on your device.
What is the BlackBerry Mail Connector?
The BlackBerry Mail Connector is a program that you might need to install on your local computer to enable BlackBerry Internet Service to access and copy messages from your corporate Microsoft
Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes email account when the Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino mail server is behind a firewall.
When you add a supported email account to the
BlackBerry Internet Service, the software is designed to automatically detect whether the
BlackBerry Mail Connector is required and to prompt you to install the program.
To install the BlackBerry Mail Connector, the following system requirements must be met:
• Microsoft Outlook 98, Outlook 2000,
Outlook 2003 or IBM Lotus Notes 5.0, 6.0, or 6.5 Email account on a Microsoft
Exchange Server version 5.5, 2000, or 2003, or an IBM Lotus Domino Server version 6.0, or 6.5
• Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME,
Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows NT
(version 4) Service Pack 6 or later
• Internet and email enabled computer
Persistent Internet connection (Port 443,
SSL)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, 6.0 or later
Note: The computer must be on and must have a constant connection to the corporate local area network (LAN) for message delivery to occur.
Why can I not add a third-party email account to the BlackBerry Internet Service?
Verify that the third-party email account supports
POP3 or IMAP4.
