Send yourself a PIN message
If you can send and receive PIN messages but you cannot receive email messages, there may be a problem with your email account service provider or the email account details in BlackBerry Unite! software. Verify that your email address and password are correct. If prompted, check that the protocol, incoming server name, incoming port, and SSL settings in BlackBerry Unite! software are correct.
Issues sending email messages
If a red X is displayed when you try to send email messages, the email account is not sending email messages successfully. Here are a couple of things you can try to fix the problem:
Check to see if there have been any changes made to the email account
If you have changed a password or a login name, you will have to update the email account settings in BlackBerry® Unite!™ software.
Check to see if the email application on your computer can send email messages
If the email application on your computer can send email messages, compare the email account settings in the email application with the email account settings in BlackBerry Unite! software. You may have to correct the settings in the BlackBerry Unite! software.

BE WARNED. I'm running 4.3.0 on my 8130, tried Unite, didn't like it, so I removed my device via the console and noted that I'd lost my browser. I verified that the device wasn't registered on the console anymore and did a security wipe on my berry. The IT policy is still there and the browser is still missing. Everyone says to restore from a prior backup (which I did before activating the 8130 on Unite). Guess what? The IT policy is still there and the browser is STILL missing. Not unlike the Kennedys and Washington DC, it would appear that the IT policy is a permanent resident on those phones that are activated under it.

Since you are using 4.3 you can use JL_cmder to reset to factory. That removes the lock on the firewall and the IT Policy.

Default Does Unite! sync emails?

I might have misread the plain text version, I see that you can sort of push email through Unite! but does it also sync? If it does, does it do a 2 way sync as well?

Forgive me for asking, I've been looking around for a way to sync email, calendar, and contacts cheaply for a long while but can't afford the cost of BES + Exchange. Hosted exchange accounts may be cheaper but that's an additional monthly cost on top of my current BIS account. Not a big fan of that either.

If Unite! does what I think it does, then this would definitely be the way to go for a personal BIS account to sync with Outlook, thunderbird, etc.

Can anyone advise?

BlackBerry smartphone stops synchronizing with BlackBerry Desktop Manager after activation using BlackBerry Unite! software, see the blackberry support website and look up Doc ID : KB15577

Default What is it good for?

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Blackberry although I'm using the BB 8820 for quite a while. I never chose a BB plan with my provider and thought that it is possible to get eMails on my BB without such a plan using Unite!.

Question: Is that possible and I am too stupid to figure out how it works (quite possible. BB is not really intuitive and the BB help is rubbish)?

If I connect my BB to the computer I receive my eMails, which of course is senseless since I'm on my computer than

Cheers.

Beside the fact the original post is from 2008 your post offers no way to contact your company in TX.
