Hello =)

I need some quick advice. I'm setting up several blackberries here in the office and have successful configured them to receive emails from their corporate exchange mailboxes to an account created at Vodafone.

The only problem I'm having is that in the users account settings in Exchange, you only get the option to forward to 1 users in the 'Delivery Options' several users will be requiring several mailboxes in their blackberries :S

Is there anyway to set something up so that a mailbox can be forwarded to several blackberries?

Thanks for any advice :)
 
Hi there,

Are you using Enterprise Server? and Active Directory?

Also, i'm not sure why you want one email to be forwarded to several different handsets.
If its a global email that several users should receive then isnt it as easy as having each users mailbox forwarding to their blackberry vodafone account.

Sorry, i may not be understanding your problem.

I administer our BES with Exchange 2003.

If you're not using BES, but you are using Active directory then create a new 'contact' for each blackberry email address (vodafone) and then add that to the delivery options in the main users account properties.

Or am i still misunderstanding what you're asking, lol.

If i am on the right tracks then i can probably explain further if you like. :)
 
can't you create a group and add the users to it? so mail sent to [email protected] will get delivered all the members of the group.
just be careful of the everyone replying to the same mail or no one replying to it at all scenario if people outside of the organisation (customers, suppliers etc) are going to be mailing them.
msexchange.org is a really useful exchange site.
 
pretty sure that you can only add users (not groups) into a BES server. Then a user can only be linked to 1 Blackberry.

Although... there may be a way with Contacts... shall take a look when i get in in the morning as i could use this as well.

Its a shame the Blackberry's can't handle multiple mailboxes really... Then again I'd say they were getting a tad out-dated if you compare them to WM6 which does do this.
