BES

When we talk about BlackBerrys here on RIMarkable we almost always do so from the perspective of the BlackBerry user. We know, however, that there are a lot of BlackBerry Administrators managing BlackBerry Enterprise Server deployments of all sizes that stop by from time to time as well. I have a question for BlackBerry administrators today.

What tools do you use to help manage your BlackBerry deployment?

I am sure that a lot of BlackBerry administrators use just the native tools to manage BES, however, I am just as sure that a lot of BES admins, especially ones with larger deployments, use third party tools that make dealing with their day to day BlackBerry administration tasks a lot easier and much less time consuming.

If you use such tools in your BES deployment, drop us a comment and tell us the name of the tool and how it helps you.

Will BES 4.1 SP5 Have HTML Email Support?

by Robb Dunewood on March 6, 2008 · 5 comments

Back when BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.1 Service Pack 5 was announced HTML and Rich Text Support was listed right on the What’s New page for the upcoming release. It would appear, however, the this highly anticipated feature is no longer listed on the What’s New page.

Needless to say, a bunch of rumors and commentary have been spreading around as to whether BES 4.1 SP5 will or will not have HTML Email support. I don’t think anyone really knows for sure. I bet, however, that I know what a few companies that create third party applications that that give you this ability on your BlackBerry are hoping for.
