When a user wanted to use a Blackberry on our network (using the method
described below) it would not work with Exchange 2000 / ISA 2004 Forms
Based Authentication.  I had to setup a separate listener on an other IP
address using Integrated Authentication. 
 
Did Blackberry get this working with FBA?
 
Thanks,
Bret

Tom,

 

I'm guessing (based on your statement that he's accessing through OWA)
that he followed the procedure below to set this up:

Add an email address for an email account that you access using a desktop
web browser 

1.       Select the I can access my email account using a web browser
(Outlook Web Access) option. 

2.       Click Next. 

3.       In the Outlook Web Access URL field, type the web address that
you use to access the email account.

4.       Verify your email address.

5.       In the Email account name field, type the mailbox name for your
Outlook account. The mailbox name is the same as your login name, and it
is usually case-sensitive.

6.       In the User name field, type your user name. 

7.       Verify your password. 

8.       Click Next.

The above is done through the carrier's user account.

 

The whole set of procedures for Outlook is given below (this was taken
from a Cingular Account):


Add a Microsoft Outlook work email address 


Your Microsoft Outlook email account must be enabled on a Microsoft
Exchange Server. If you do not know the server type, contact your system
administrator. 

Note: If you access your email account using a desktop computer on your
company's network, use your desktop web browser to add the email address
for the account. 

1.       Perform one of the following actions:

o        On your BlackBerry device or BlackBerry-enabled device, on the
BlackBerry Internet Service web site, click Email accounts. Click Add an
email account.

o        In a desktop web browser, on the BlackBerry Internet Service web
site, in the left pane, click Email accounts. Click Add account.

2.       In the Email Address field, type the full email address (for
example, clydewarren@xxxxxxxxxxx).

3.       In the Password and Confirm Password fields, type the password
for your email account.

4.       Click Next.

5.       Perform one of the following actions:

o        If you access your work email account using a desktop web
browser, skip to "Add an email address for an email account that you
access using a desktop web browser."

o        If you access your work email account from a desktop computer on
your company's network, skip to "Add an email address for an email account
that you access using Outlook."

Add an email address for an email account that you access using a desktop
web browser 

1.       Select the I can access my email account using a web browser
(Outlook Web Access) option. 

2.       Click Next. 

3.       In the Outlook Web Access URL field, type the web address that
you use to access the email account.

4.       Verify your email address.

5.       In the Email account name field, type the mailbox name for your
Outlook account. The mailbox name is the same as your login name, and it
is usually case-sensitive.

6.       In the User name field, type your user name. 

7.       Verify your password. 

8.       Click Next.

Add an email address for an email account that you access using Outlook 

1.       Select the I always use Outlook to access my email account
option. 

2.       Click Next.

3.       Perform one of the following actions:

o        To install the mail connector on your desktop computer, click
Download. Complete the on-screen instructions. Click Install. If prompted,
provide additional account information. See "About Microsoft Outlook work
email account settings for setup with the mail connector" for more
information. To share your mail connector with colleagues, select the I
want to allow others to share my Mail Connector option.

Note: You cannot download the mail connector using your BlackBerry device
or BlackBerry-enabled device. Try adding the account from the BlackBerry
Internet Service web site in a desktop web browser to download the mail
connector.

o        To use a colleague's mail connector, click Click here. Type the
mail connector ID. Click Next. If prompted, provide additional account
information. Click Next. Verify that Outlook is not set to store email
messages locally. Click OK.

You can also add a personal email address and a Lotus Notes work email
address.  I use this service to grab my gmail data as a personal email
address.  Last year that used to be done at intervals.  This year,
however, whenever I send a message or receive a message through my gmail
account, my BlackBerry gets it pretty much in real time (few second delay
at most).
