Part II: Getting Organized and Online with Your Storm
hook up your BlackBerry to use that same e-mail address. Instead of checking
your Gmail at the Google site, for example, you can get it on your BlackBerry.
Is your company running a BlackBerry Enterprise Server and MS Exchange
server but didn't think to give you a company BlackBerry? No worries; you
can still get your e-mail via BlackBerry Desktop Redirector. Keep reading.
Most network service providers allow you to connect up to ten e-mail
accounts to your BlackBerry. This capability provides you with the conve-
nience of one central point from which you get all your e-mail.
Using the BlackBerry Internet
Service client
You can pull together all your e-mail accounts into one by using the BIS
(BlackBerry Internet Service) client. The BIS client allows you to
✓ Manage up to ten e-mail accounts: See the next section, "Combining
your e-mail accounts into one."
✓ Use wireless e-mail reconciliation: No more trying to match your
BlackBerry e-mail against e-mail in your combined account(s). Just turn
on wireless e-mail reconciliation, and you're good to go. For more on
this, see the upcoming section "Enabling Wireless Reconciliation."
✓ Create e-mail filters: You can filter e-mails to get only those messages
that you truly care about on your BlackBerry. See the "Filtering your
e-mail" section, near the end of this chapter.
Think of the BIS client (also known simply as BIS) as an online e-mail account
manager that doesn't keep your messages. Instead, it routes the e-mails from
your other accounts to your BlackBerry (because it's directly connected to
your BlackBerry).
Combining your e-mail accounts into one
To start herding e-mail accounts onto your BlackBerry, you must first run a
setup program from the BIS client.
You can access the BIS client from your BlackBerry or from your desktop com-
puter. To do so on the PC, you need the URL that is specific to your network
service. Contact your network service provider (such as Verizon or Telus)
directly to get that information.
