Notes on Productivity Home Page

the answer is no. The BB is designed for a single account for the core apps outside mail ... and mail can only talk to one mailbox via bes.

Your best bet is the new ultralight UI for webmail.

Not with the BES as it is today. There was some talk at last WES about BES 5 "maybe" adding something like this.

You can mimic the functionality in mNotes by carrying four (4) BlackBerry devices. Just make sure each has its own distinct ring tone so you answer the right one ;)

Thanks, John. It looks like this won't be a smooth transition, at least from a productivity perspective.

Thanks Darren, good idea on the four BlackBerries to match Commontime functionality. The benefit of your proposed approach is that I can also have multiple calendars and tasks lists in a package and I get to look like I'm wearing Batman's utility belt.

Eric - if you are following the lines of productivity, why would you just not forward everything to a single account? manage everything from a single email address ...

Hi John, you bring up a good point. In terms of collecting and processing, it's usually preferred to have a single collection point (e.g. a dump all to a single mailbox); however, in my case, it's about context. It's fine for my own stuff to all be in one box where I can process it, but the other mail databases I was hoping to have are not mine and are for reference only - e.g. our team support mailbox and a shared mailbox/calendar with my wife. I would not want to merge those, let alone process them in one place, it would be out of context.

I guess I'm just spoiled. In the early days of wireless PDAs, I was happy to have a single mail account on my mobile device. Then, CommonTime raised the bar by allowing up to four accounts on the device. I got used to that. And I got spoiled, expecting that would be the norm. It certainly worked great for me to have access to multiple accounts and calendars.

Thanks for the question, though. It's a good one to ask and one I am considering as I look for work-arounds. - Eric

Hi John,

the answer is yes! With FlowGate you can make all applications mobil on the BB. Also multiple notes mailboxes. FlowGate is CMS for the BB.

I actively use multiple Domino mailboxes on my Bold. Here is the key: only one (my primary) is connected via BES. The others are connected via BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) and are accessed via IMAP. I can use a shared inbox if I wish or access each and manage them separately. It works like a champ!

I hope this helps! --Dan

I'd like to learn more about this product, Flowgate, which you mention.

I'd like to do a demo at Lotusphere of eProductivity Mobilized.

Unfortunately, it's been 30+ years since I learned German. Is there a U.S. version of the web site or a US distributor of the product?

@Daniel

Thanks for the tip about iMAP, I'll have to try that one out!
