Hi Todd, In my experience you don't need to up an IMAP account which will increase the disk space usage on your server. BlackBerry's and Treo's you can set up to POP the account which will leave a copy of the message on the server to download to their desktop at a later time. Treo's are done on the phone with the MS OS, BB's you need to do it on your providers BB web site.

I have had several people over the past week email and call with questions about setting up smart phones to get their email. This isn't totally uncommon, but in the past they emailed me for their settings and then had the provider help them set it up. Now they are coming to me. I'm sure I could figure it out, but it got me thinking about what the "typical" way of setting them up is. Are people POPing mail to their phone? Leaving a copy on the server for their desktop? Using IMAP? I have one person in the process now. They had been getting everything to their desktop, and would like that to be an option. So I said we may want to use IMAP for both then. However if we had a large amount of people suddenly do this, I would wonder what hit the server would take? Thanks for any thoughts!
