You could also look at other POP/IMAP/SMTP servers that support SyncML. Then you install a SyncML client on your smartphones (usually Funambol) to do the syncing.
Some I've looked at include MailEnable and SmarterMail. Kerio does it via ActiveSync with an ActiveSync Client for Blackberry; MailEnable and SmarterMail can do it over ActiveSync for a fee or SyncML out of the box. - Andy O. >-----Original Message----- >From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] >Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 12:41 PM >To: NT System Admin Issues >Subject: RE: Blackberry server pricing > >Not going to happen.
