Blackberry Bold, and Thunderbird question

Hi all
I have a Blackberry Bold on Vodafone, and use Thunderbird to receive my E mails from my ALL my E mail accounts. (I use IMAP on Thunderbird).

I have been 'Googleing' and cannot find a way to retrieve E mails that I would retrieve in Thunderbird- on my Blackberry when I am out and about.

An option I can see, is to log into my web based mail to read the E mails for my business, and reply there; but I have several personal and business E mails going to Thunderbird, so I would have to log into several web based mail accounts doing it this way, and it would be quite time consuming!

Blackberry Enterprise is costly, but I am assuming this would be the normal way to do it on a Blackberry.

Sorry if I am missing a trick here, but I am new to the Blackberry and Thunderbird.

Cheers!

I think you need to access them via IMAP on your Blackberry so it will pull them ... wait for a true email bod to come along and explain properly

 

I am just not sure how to do this?!

I go on to the E mail setup, and it just has the option for Blackberry Enterprise, and tells me to put a password in!

Do you not get a disk with your Blackberry? I think you can go on there and configure it all or something?! Sorry I'm not much help dreaming of owning a BB

 

I've just loaded the disc! ...Will keep posted, cheers!

You need IMAP for this which Thunderbird supports but the Blackberry Bold doesn't. I've just found that out!

What you need is an app that does support IMAP. LogicMail for Blackberry should do the trick.

Make sure you understand the difference between IMAP and POP3. Here are the advantages of IMAP over POP3.

Hi CPearse,

I'm in the same situation as OneSixty. I bought the BB Bold and I did read quite a few reviews, but I managed to overlook the lack of IMAP functionality.

I'm also using TB with ~10 imap email accounts and it would be great having access to the via BB.

I did find the LogicMail for BB and installed it (v 1.0.4). I did set up my email account as in TB and I get 'Unable to reopen connection'.

I'm with Three provider. I also read about having to update the TCP/IP in the Advance option? Here I got lost ...

If anybody has some ideas it would be more the welcome.

Regards,
Siki
