Blackberry integration

BRW-
You made my year, man! I saw your other post. We're glad you like it!

BlackBerry (RIM) has a lock on how BlackBerry works. All BB providers require a BES server, because that's what talks to their server in the cloud.

They own the cloud, and BBs never actually talk to any server. They will only talk to BB Headquaters. They've got a lock on that industry.

We do require BES or BES Express to work. Zimbra talks to that, and that talks to BES's cloud.

Hope that makes sense.

I'm not a BB fan (I don't like the "cloud thing" either) but the BES functionnalities (mainly the "management" ones) can be quite usefull for handling the devices when you have a "big" companies and lots of users and/or specific rules to apply.

Hi All,

i'm new to BES we use WM5 which works well on ZCS 4.5.6NE
However our users now require BB support.

I see ZCS 5.0 supports BES is there a wiki or doc which outline the procedure
to setup 5.5/BES

TIA,
Padraig.
