BES and imap

[mckibben]

HI, we use a cyrus imap server here for mail (c2000 mailboxes) and I want to know if anyone has made a connector for non-exchange/notes mail servers so that blackberry clients can retrieve mail?. I do not favour using the cradle-sync-to-mail-client solution but rather the server based solution.

I am in Europe over gprs, the mail server is imap compliant.

regards

Declan

It is not a Blackberry solution, but it will work with the RIM devices and a handful of other device types. Check out www.jarna.com. It works with Notes, Exchange, Iplanet, any IMAP server (specifically named...Cyrus). I do not sell this, but it is a great alternative to some of my customers that don't fall into the Notes/Exchange category. No desktop cradle needed...it wirelessly sync's contacts, calendar & email. Offers many of the same features the BES offers plus attachment viewing and more. Hope this helps....

Declan,

Check out Jarna Inc and Extended Sytems for a possible solution. I believe Extended have a UK office.
