Can i have my corporate email forwarded to my Curve?

Is there a way to have my corporate email forwarded or redirected to my Curve. It doesn't even need to be instant push email, as long as i can get it every 20 minutes or so. Or is there a software program for my Curve that would allow me to do this without having to go through my IT dept. at my company? Currenty i have my phone is setup with BIS.

You should be able to use the forwarding feature or 'vacation mail' setting for your corporate inbox. I use Lotus Notes. Just point the forwarding to one of your BB POP3 accounts and it should work.

I use Outlook for my company mail. Do you know how or where i would find that feature?

If you google outlook mail forwarding, you'll hit a result from Indiana university, it'll walk you through doing it, works like a charm.

I redirected all of my work email to my gmail account which my curve picks up instantly.

Go into outlook under tools and set your preferences from there. It will work.

Might better talk to your IT department to see if that is even allowed. Perhaps if you are nice, they will give you the setup to get your email on BIS.

x2, as a FORMER t-mo corporate sales rep that came across this quite often a user can get in hot water FAST with IT security for doing this w/o permission

as long as you can get to your company's OWA from any machine, then normally you can input that info into your BIS account, that's what I have setup here at work.

I don't understand. I did this and it's clear cut that you don't have to hack or bypass any security measure to have my e-mail forwarded to a mobile device. I can understand if there were some security measure preventing you from doing this but it's not the case as far as my company e-mail goes.

For us dummies that don't know what "OWA" is can you pleas explain? Thanks.

No, if you're using Microsoft Outlook, use the Rules wizzard. You can forward all or some of your mail. I have mail forwarded to my device email with the exception of one annoying person.

edit: you have to do it from the actual Outlook program. The rule can't be created from OWA (outlook web access).

I completely agree with Hillstrubl. It depends on the type of company you work for and how sensitive the emails are you recieve.

Our company has specifically stated no forwarding of corporate email. Period. They don't want corporate email sitting on someone else's servers (google, yahoo, etc) since they cannot control it after it leaves the building, so to speak...

OWA is still under their control and requires a username/password every time you want to read your email.

So I use outlook for my company and they have disabled auto forwarding through their server. I can still log in anywhere using a OWA to check whenever and wherever I want. I know they don't mind people getting email on their phones because plenty do but I dont wanna pay the BES price. Am i sol or is there still a possibility?

You've got a possibility. Log into your carrier's BIS site and put the e-mail address in, no password. Tell it you want to provide the settings, it's your work account, and you access it through OWA.

You'll be asked for:
~ OWA site address
~ Username
~ Password
~ Mailbox name (method to get this depends on what OWA version the company uses)

Enter that and it should configure as a regular BIS e-mail.

OWA = Outlook Web Access. If your company uses Outlook, it's a way to log into your email server to check email, from another computer. The email remains on the server but looks like Outlook (but it's painful to use).

BIS will access email through OWA and send it to your BB. Set up was described in a previous post.

ALWAYS a good idea, he is both insightful and never wrong

ha!

The reason companies are sensitive to forwarding mail, especially to mobiles, is that the device can be lost or stolen. As mentioned before, OWA always requires a user name and password, although it does pose some hazard if you use a public computer and cache your user/pwd info.

I also agree, check with your IT dept or your immediate boss. Like it or not, the mail and info belongs to them, as well as the mail server.

My Company uses outlook, I was able to put my email address and password into the T-Mobil email setup site.
Thats it, it worked. I now get my company email on my 8320.
