However, if you absolutely must persist with this bloody stupid way of doing things, here's a reghack for the server that'll do what you need it to do. It was originally pointed to me by the below Mr. Webb's lovely wife... :)
Oh, the text below says HKLM. Put it in HKCU as well, same tree path. QUOTE: Just a tip I learned that I thought I would pass along to the rest of you on how to make the Blackberry work better if you use a spam filter or Outlook rules. I get about 200-250 spam emails per day so I use a spam filter ("I Hate Spam", which does work well and I have no association with that company) and also use Outlook rules to move certain emails to various folders so, while my Outlook Inbox was relatively clean, my Blackberry was getting very hard to use due to the shear number of messages on it. I personally found the filters in the Desktop Manager were useless for me but the following registry hack allows both my spam filter and Outlook rules to do their job before the Blackberry server ever process anything, thereby resulting in a very manageable handheld. I am using the Exchange Enterprise v2.1 server but I was told this reg hack should work for all versions. I'm not sure how you'd do it on a desktop redirector but there's probably a way. Go to regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research in Motion\BlackBerry\Server add a DWORD value called "ProcessMailDelay" (without the quotes) The decimal value you set here will be the delay, in seconds, that the server waits before looking at a user's Inbox to begin routing to the handheld Stop/Restart the Blackberry Server service Hope this helps someone out there. :ENDQUOTE Gary -- Gary K.

But what's worse? Having one set of Exchange backup tapes subpoenaed or 5000 PC hard drives? It's interesting to see how the timeframe has changed over the years. It seems like in the past everyone was trying to delete everything after 30 days, and now it's 60 days. This is an example of people not understanding what an information economy is. A very sad example I suppose. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Waters, Jeff Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 1:17 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Race between client rules and BES server Give me one business (I was going to say good, but that's not possible) reason for this, and I'll give you ten times that many technical reason why the PST solution is a bad one.

Woohoo! Save some money, maybe they will give it back to you as a bonus!

I had several rules to move mailing lists emails to server folders that now point to local PST folders. Before, these mailing list messages never showed up in the inbox, and the Blackberry server (BES server) never saw them (and thus never sent them to my blackberry). Now when one of these emails arrives, it briefly appears in the inbox before my PC has a chance to grab it and move it to a local PST. This means that some of the time the BES server sees it and forwards it to my blackberry. Does anyone know of any tricks to avoid this? I may have to switch these back to the server as I can keep stuff there less than 60 days old but this means that I would need to have to manually archive these before the server deletes them.
