Advice????
When the BB is connected to a WiFi router, it will go that route to access the network. Both ways.

Just tried it with my Bold. Connected to WiFi, turned off the radio and sent myself an e-mail. Arrived on the BB immediately. Both to my BES and BIS accounts.

There really is no need for a different client on the BB. You can look at the BIS setup as the POP3 client. BIS polls your e-mail account and pushes the mail to your device. Saves on battery and bandwidth as the device does not have to check for mail.
