The Underscore Archives

I have a m3100 and have created a contact in my exchange server that
forwards all email to a blueyonder address that can then be picked up by
either myself at home or on my m3100.  This works well.  Though again the
m3100 checks for email every 20 minutes rather than having the email pushed
to the device.

I thought you could get a 5 user BES software for free from the website
these days.

Not had much call to sync contacts and calendar appointments with my outlook
account as I also use the company owa to do this when I need to.
