The Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog
Word on the street is that a new email icon is showing up on BlackBerry devices of users how have Hotmail accounts configured through BIS. We know that RIM has recently upgraded BIS to version 3.1 as 2-way Contact Sync is now available to Yahoo! mail BlackBerry users, and, I wonder if this new email icon is part of the BIS 3.1 upgrade as well?
Has anyone noticed a new Hotmail icon on your device?
We’ve got some great news for BlackBerry users with Yahoo! email accounts. It appears that BIS 3.1 has been rolled out (here in the States). 2-Way Contact Synchronization is now available.
To enable Yahoo! Mail Contact Sync go to Setup… Email Settings… Click on your Yahoo! Mail account and select Synchronization Options… Check the box for Contacts and click Save.
BIS 3.1 syncs contacts every four hours and also works with Alt-N MDaemon v11 over SyncML. If you test it out, let us know what you think via the comments…
