Tried that, but the way our internal e-mail is set up it wouldnt work, so I had to get our exchange guru to set up a separate e-mail called oralert (or something like that) and have any e-mails coming to that account auto forwarded to an outside smtp account. It would not work with my regular internal e-mail address, but I can't remember exactly why now...

I'd have to say for the most part this works very well, when I shut an instance down often within seconds my phone beeps indicating a message, but sometimes it wont arrive until much later, but I blame that on the telco as the same thing happens with voicemail from time to time.

I'm waiting until blackberry coverage gets a bit better up here, thinking that the e-mails will be much easier to read than scrolling thru in the tiny cellphone display.

cheers
