Questions on POP/IMAP and BIS blackBerry Smartphones

Hi all

I have a few questions about defining a blackberry to check your e-mail via BIS.

1. What is the reasoning behind the creation of blackberry account sometimes POP3 and IMAP the other times? For me, POP3 would be something that you're not on a cell phone.

2. Why is there no option to choose if you want POP3 or IMAP? I tried to delete the account and add it with an incorrect email address and password in order to get some additional questions during the installation but it does not require if I want POP3 or IMAP.

3. Because POP3 seems to be an option, is it the same as any other POP3 client for example. Outlook, Thunderbird? What I mean it deletes messages from the server after it downloads? I don't want our users, that have POP3 because their Protocol on blackberry to have their blackberry is the only place where they can get their e-mail.

A few notes on some of the users and the BlackBerry models they have.

All users (as far as I know, there are some office users) have Verizon as their company.

It seems to me the question of POP/IMAP, I do experience is not limited to a single type of model. I have a few users who have the storm, their account has been set up using IMAP, other storm users have been set up as IMAP. I myself have a curve (8330) Mine was installed as IMAP, I recently install an another 8330 users and them was configured as POP3. Another user has a Perl and is IMAP. A user has a global publishing and that is using pop. It seems to me that there is no reason why they choose POP or IMAP.

Thank you all in advance for your help.

Hello! I'll try to answer some of this...

1. What is the reasoning behind the creation of blackberry account sometimes POP3 and IMAP the other times? For me, POP3 would be something that you're not on a cell phone.

... In my humble OPINION the "reasoning" is pure flexibility – to allow a user to access each account type and thus better reflect what they can do on their computer. What about 'if' POP should or should not be on a cell phone, which falls in the pure opinion.

2. Why is there no option to choose if you want POP3 or IMAP? I tried to delete the account and add it with an incorrect email address and password in order to get some additional questions during the installation but it does not require if I want POP3 or IMAP.

The selection would be a chosen mail server function. Most of the facilities I've seen who have both have separate servers for POP and IMAP for exactly this reason. In addition, some services (GMail comes to mind) allow the user to enable or disable one or both. Instructions for configuring (and be able to direct them to an e-mail specific and, therefore, either POP or IMAP server) are here:

3. Because POP3 seems to be an option, is it the same as any other POP3 client for example. Outlook, Thunderbird? What I mean it deletes messages from the server after it downloads? I don't want our users, that have POP3 because their Protocol on blackberry to have their blackberry is the only place where they can get their e-mail.

Non - Default BIS leaves a copy on the e-mail server for both types of integration. If, however, they remove on the BB and have enabled OTA synchronization and are integrated into a consistent account, it will remove from the server. Check this list for how it integrates with different services:

http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB05133&SLIC...

I hope that this information will help you get at least a step forward for the problems you're having with your users.

  • BIS blackBerry smartphones and POP server not accessible via internet

    Hey guys,.

    I think I have some 9000 "BOLD" for some users at work.

    We currently have a pop3 mail server that is not accessible via the internet. (Not webmail)

    I could use BIS to push mail for the "BOLD" and would it synchronize deleted items / sending and reading of the "BOLD" back to my mail server?

    I don't see how an email that I deleted the "bold" be synced to outlook on your laptop.

    Kudos for taking the time to read my post.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    BIS, serves as an intermediary between the messaging services connected to the internet (POP, IMAP, etc.) and BB. If the server you want to interface to these BB is not connected to the internet, then BIS can not access.

    BES might work... you would have to buy and host BES in-house (after make sure you it can interface with all your internal mail server is, of course), and then facilitate the communication between your internal mail server and your business from BB. I don't know the level, but I think that the financial investment to reach BES is not negligible.

    Good luck!

  • BIS blackBerry smartphones does not re-login on AIRCEL

    I bought a new BB bold 9000 a week ago and subscribed to one day BIS plan of Rs 14. I used it for a smooth day. Registerd my camera setup upward from my email, surfed internet and various applications.

    Then I did not use BIS for 2 days. After two days, that even once, I subscribed for 1 day BIS plan but nothing works now. My network shows I subscribed, but the spectacle of the BIS service status is not connected. I was thinkng to subscribe for one month for 399, but how will it work? Help!

    You can talk with your mobile provider and, possibly, the Blackberry. I have my agenda through Blackberry Internet Service synchronization problems, and after an hour on the phone, I learned that it was caused by a breakdown between Google and BIS. This is not the same as your problem, but talking to your mobile phone service provider can save you time and frustration. Good luck!

  • Can operate without BIS - in the universe of GMail and app blackBerry smartphones?

    Hello!

    I got a BB Curve 3 g 9300 for a week; I'm in England, and I have as well as a T-Mobile contract, Phones4U store in London.  Before agreeing to buy the BB and the contract, I went through a whole bunch of things that I wanted to be able to do with the seller and received assurances that they were all possible without additional cost beyond the contract.

    Now, the thing is that this contract includes unlimited T-Mobile internet, but does not include the T-Mobile "Blackberry Booster" - which I think is the terminology of T-Mobile for the BIS.

    After checking with a nice lady to T-Mobile, I didn't expected to be a problem, because she said that the Blackberry Booster is necessary for e-mail system push Blackberry and Blackberry Messenger, neither of which I want.

    Since then, however, I had regular problems with the GMail application (saying "this application requires a working data connection") and BB App World (with a similar message of not being able to connect to the server).  This is not the case all the time - sometimes both work very well.  But they do not (as described) approximately 40% of the time, and of course, it is enough to say that I can't rely on them.

    So I just called T-Mobile again and this time I was told this was caused by not only not the Blackberry Booster.  The person I spoke claimed that Blackberry power to prevent my apps to work (as I described) and that they periodically scan combined BB and disconnect people like me who are not pay for Booster/BIS.

    So now I wonder if it's really true and - in other words - that it's effectively impossible to use a BB correctly without the Booster/BIS.  If you are sure that you know about it, just reply to tide me over!

    I should add that you can find out something about the GMail problem anywhere on the web, many different solutions proposed.  But most of the success is old, and my impression is that none of the solutions are final.  I also tried most of the suggestions, and they have not helped.  (An important is only that I have not yet tried redownloading books service, because I do not understand, and because it sounds like it is bound to have BIS.)

    Thank you very much in advance for any help you can offer!

    Neil

    Hi there, Neil.

    That is right.  To use BlackBerry App World and other applications like GMail, Facebook, and Twitter, you need a BlackBerry data package and access to BIS.  Without access BIS, these applications work properly, even if you access GMail online via your browser and you can manually download the applications through your computer.

    I hope this info helps!

  • Questions on youtube and download blackBerry Smartphones

    I had problems downloading files and later to locate their. I tried to download operamini, but when I save the file I don't know where to save it to as much as I save it (IE photos, documents), I am unable to find it later.

    Also is there a way I can view youtube? Whenever I try to watch a video, it will be responsible for about 2 seconds, then start trimming and freezing Media Player.

    If someone could help me with these, I would appreciate it a lot.

  • BlackBerry, change of sim card and ID blackberry Smartphones roaming charges

    I did a little research and although have found similar cases, I'm not quite sure if this has been covered completely. Please forgive me if it has.

    I'm going abroad in Germany for a year, and it is useless to cancel me my current plan of the monthly British payroll with Vodaphone. As far as I know my blackberry is unlocked at the international level - I put an old, German o2 pay as you go sim in my phone. Seemed to work very well (sign of o2 Germany, received a message on homelessness in the UK, etc.), but I had no credit so couldn't test. I registered again my user ID of blackberry on my home wi-fi. But other that I couldn't do much to verify the extent of my use.

    However, I heard various accounts of not being able to use e-mail, internet, wipe the contacts, etc..

    If someone could clarify this, here are my questions:

    • If I take my sim UK vodaphone, is anyway I have accumulate roaming charges? Is my blackberry ID, potentially with a new German supplier, related to my old?
    • Will he make any question tries to access my email, bbm, whatsapp, etc., with a different number and in a different country.

    One has experience in this area, in Germany (a long shot), Europe or world? It seems that the whole ID blackberry complicates things.

    My phone is a Blackberry Bold 9900, AFAIK its software wise update - I have updated today with the "Bundle 2061 7.1" I think.

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There are a number of problems to know for what you propose... Here are my thoughts... (Note that I have traveled internationally widely enough with a BB).

    If you activate a plan of itinerant international with the support of your home, you should be able to keep your current SIM card in your BB and have all the features anywhere where you are allowed (according to what your home carrier active). Costs are not small in general, but your home operator is the only entity that can tell you if it will work and for how much money. My personal experience with this method was difficult, it took two 'stranded' international travel before my carrier home could properly configure my account for full international roaming I needed. And once my BB was out of my home network, there was nothing else they could do... so the two 'fail' the TRIPS Agreement.

    Given that your BB is unlocked, you can use it on other carriers, simply by changing your SIM card. But with BB, it is not quite as simple as that.

    No BB does exist (indeed, no device anywhere that I know of) that has all the radio technologies/frequencies within the view are just too many in the world. Thus, your first task is to ensure that your BB has the ability to the same function on the support networks you want to use it on. You must study the capabilities of your specific BB against the requirements of networks you will operate on... you may need to ask those network operators for more details.

    If this element is satisfied, which then verifies that you have services at the level of the voice (calls, voice mail, SMS). But for level data services, increase complications.

    Each company chooses patterns specific to BB (by model number) that they will promote "automatically". I do not know the carriers that have their network configured to support all the model numbers of BB. If the carrier you wish to automatically use your BB model number on media, then their system will be able to automatically deliver to your BB Service books required in order to activate the BB exclusive services (email, BBM, etc.). But, if their network does not natively support your specific model BB number, then their network is not likely to be able to automatically deliver these Service for your BB books... which will prevent the use of their network BB exclusive services. Again, you must inquire carriers on which you want to run if your specific model BB number is supported by their network for the automatic distribution of maintenance book.

    In addition, it is to ensure that your home carrier frees your BB PIN of their system of BIS. A BB PIN can exist in only one carrier BIS system anywhere in the world... so if your home carrier doesn't release him, then the other carrier will not be able to allocate a BIS account for you, and you still won't be able to use services BIS of them. In this case, it is usually a matter of contact your supplier of home and convince them to release your BB PIN of their system of BIS.

    If all goes well and all the conditions are met, then it can be quite transparent to switch between carriers, simply by changing your SIM card, ensure that each SIM card includes good BIS Services this carrier of course.
    But if anything this either in the chain requirements above fails, it can sometimes be frustrating to make the things work pretty well (reminds me of my two "failed" international travel).

    So, with all this as preamble, now to your questions...

    Given what you describe, I see no for Vodaphone to charge you roaming charges. Without their SIM in your BB, your BB may not even try to use any resource of Vodaphone. But, you will need to get confirmation of Vodaphone on this point... so that they control all services, billing, etc. for your account. BB services you are subordinate to your main carrier services... you need the services of the main carrier to provide network connectivity services BB riding on this network connection.

    • Will he make any question tries to access my email, bbm, whatsapp, etc., with a different number and in a different country.

    There are always opportunities for questions. When you use a different SIM card, you are constrained to some services that provide the SIM. If it does not, for example, BIS level services, then you won't access to people. Similarly, if there is some government restrictions for some services, you can be restricted from that as well. If you get a SIM card with full services of BIS and, as described above, you spent all of the required components that I have listed, then you should be able to have all the services you listed. It is possible that you may need to reconfigure your email... There are stories about these configurations if shattered when change carriers... but the BBID integration is intended to facilitate this exact type of change of carrier, so it should not happen. But don't we can, of course, no promises.

    Good luck!

  • Email - pop3 - valid - bis - blackBerry Smartphones do not receive emails

    I'm new to blackberry and I have a new storm 9500 series of verizon.  I have installation three (personal) e-mail - a yahoo mail and two POP3 accounts.  My yahoo account seems to work perfectly, but the other two pop3 do not seem to receive at all.

    Here are the details:

    (1) I have set up all three through the device

    (2) when the pop3 were not working after the initial validation, I contacted the technical support of Verizon and they informed me on the BIS website.

    (3) I've deleted my pop3 accounts and rebuilt the BIS Web site and post them without problem

    (4) I received my validation messages on both accounts pop3 without problem

    (5) I got one or two test messages for each pop3 account

    (6) shortly after, I stop receiving all messages for pop3 accounts.

    ((7) repeat steps 3)-6)

    Finally, I went to the websites of these two providers of Internet services and looking for something special for blackberry support and can't find anything substantial.  I am at a loss.  There is no configuration of filters and I checked the box to forward the e-mail to the device.

    Thank you.

    Bifocals - thanks for the response.

    I think that I thought about it.  But to answer your question, Yes, I always send Service books to update my BIS accounts.

    So, I use the simple Outlook Express on a PC "always on" at home.  It seems that my two ISP in question send a copy of the e-mail to BIS timely so my client at home receives emails before they are sent to BIS.  In the my client ADVANCED options, I had to put my messages to be left on the server for a day to give enough time for the e-mail accounts that you want to synchronize with Blackberry.  It seems that there is a lag of 10 minutes to receive emails on my client vs my device.  I tested this all day with good results.  So, originally I had my emails being rubbed server after childbirth.  What they obviously not send to the BIS and my client at the same time to give of their time to the process seem to be the thing.

  • Lost icons on the homepage of Yahoo and Gmail blackBerry smartphones

    I need help.  My storm to perform a deletion of the system my number of password attempts failed.  Nice - I know!   However, I went back in and put in password blackberry under the e-mail Configuration.  In the e-mail configuration, it showed the two e-mail accounts.  I checked the passwords and he returned verified.  However, when I went back to the home page icons are missing.  The "Messages" icon is the only icon and it connects all the emails, etc. are popping up here.

    Is it possible to restore the icons of Yahoo and Gmail?  the only advantage I see of my dilemma, it is that redundancy is gone with the new account alert message yahoo and new message alert messages.

    To prevent this from happening because I lost all my settings, icon positions, etc. I put the Desktop Manager to do an automatic backup.  I assume that this will eliminate the hassle in the future in a computer Pocket wipe or another similar deletion occurs.  Is this correct?  I'm new to blackberry.  My previous smartphone automatically saved and stored all the custom features.

    Thanks for the help.   Any thoughts?

    Make sure that the icons are not hidden. Just ALT + click on any icon and choose Show all. All the hidden icons will be displayed as being grayed out. If you find the icons of the now, just ALT + click then and uncheck Hide.

    Correct the configuration of the backup & restore to backup automatically prevent this in the future because you might just restore from a backup

  • Option to email pop/net for the blackBerry Smartphones No.

    Do you have a data Plan BlackBerry enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?

    You have to, to get the push RIM email functions you are looking for, as well as services of BlackBerry data such as the Web browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger and much more.

    Then, call your carrier a inquire to have the BlackBerry data Plan added to your account.

  • BIS blackBerry smartphones does not not on my torch 9810 (at & t)

    Hi guys need help urgently...
    I'll tell you all * beep * condition I bought the bb torch 9810 without a bis plan and I don't know how I did the bb Id and downloaded a few applications of the bb world but after my SIM in idea internet even after activation BIS (I have received several messages activation) only the browser works for me not with BIS , but with my regular data nothing works except for browser
    Little things, I opened as the bb Id in the set menu, that it refuses to open after saying the device offline state and in the world of bb does not open and bbm not working after implementing screen need help please

    There are four conditions, you will have to check.

    Your device must be accompanied by a network of the company. I'll assume you checked this, and it looks to be the case.

    Your company must provide BIS and you have BIS on your line (your account). Looks like it's true, but it is possible there is an error with your account. You should perhaps consult the carrier and check.

    Register your device on the network. See http://support.blackberry.com/kb/articleDetail?articleNumber=000037347&language=English

    Receive service books. See http://support.blackberry.com/kb/articleDetail?articleNumber=000002830&language=English

    I suggest saving the device first. Make sure you have a strong mobile signal. Wait for the confirmation message.

    Then return service directories, or having the carrier send them. Yet once, make sure you have a signal strong when you do this.

    If you still have problems, contact the carrier customer service to solve problems more. When you talk to the carrier, explain your troubleshooting so far.
