Can this new desktop be used for the bb 7105t...or is it for the newer model bb's??

[Rcbjr]

Butterfly, I use it with my 8700 and OS 4.1.0.286, and it works fine. I've read where some people have had problems with it, but have never seen one myself. Can't say about the 7105 though.

how do i synch my mail messages with my outlook? I dont' see an option anywhere on the desktop or my synch configuration options. Did i select the worng option upon installing the software?

[Rcbjr]

TRP, You can not use Desktop Manager to sync your Outlook Email. It is not designed for that. You Profile doesn't have an answer about using BES so can't help further.

RC is correct. The only items that you can sync with Outlook are the Calendar, Memo Pad, Address Book & Tasks.

[TRP]

thanks guys. How would I be able to do so? For my company I have a few email addresses and I would like to have my emails sent through my BB to be on my outlook as well.

Oh and I'm not using enterprise services since I'm nto really sure on how to use it. I use iPower for my web hosting and domain.

You might try setting up a automatic BCC: to your work email from your BIS setup. That way everything you send from your BB will be sent to your work Email server for Outlook to pick up. That's the only way I know to get it sorta working without setting up BES. You might look into getting a Hosted BES account for your company email.

I guess Bcc will have to be the way untill I can get some more info on seting up the BES and the costs associated with it.

I have a question! Really quick, take your time...
So... I lost the CD that came w/ the BB for the Desktop Manager, and I had to uninstall it, so this download would give me the Manager back again?

[Rcbjr]

Yes
