Hi all,

Can any one tell me if the Nokia N900 can get messages from the BES servers that my company is using ?

Thanks

Ooo intruiging, erm... i'm really not sure (Not helpful is it!) - but the BES Server links to an exchange server? - and your N900 can get the exchange(Ish.. search for other posts on this), IMAP or POP output from that

As far as I'm aware, only BlackBerries can connect to the BES - it's a proprietary syncing protocol.
The n900 might be able to use syncXML though. Do a Google search for Funambol to find an alternative to the Blackberry stuff.

Nokia N900 corporate email, unfortunately, has a lot to be desired. there is no search function and I could not get it to sync with my server. my iphone has no issues

Thank you for your coments, this seems to be a great phone - but this a huge drawback - e-mail is a major aspect of any business phone. Hope that this will be addressed soon.

I hope so too. But feel cheated, as specs included MfE. I was fooled that it works like my E51 and E71. It doesnt.

Blaming Nokia for this is like blaming Pepsi for Internet Explorer. Blackberry's success was almost entirely due to offering push-mail when others were not. What is the business case for opening-up the spec?

If you can convince RIM to release control over their addict-base, please do-so.

I know this is a REALLY old thread, but I can't find info anywhere else.

I've just started contracting with a company that uses Lotus Notes and BES. As a contractor I won't get a BB, I have a notes account but have to login thru a VPN gateway to view it on a citrix delivered desktop.

If I can persuade the very nice IT dept to push the emails to my N900, can it be done? Just wondering if there have been any developments on MfE/BES integration with the latest PR releases I have not been aware of previously? Push mail to the N900 would be a lifesaver compared to having to logon and check every so often.
