3.8.3 BlackBerry Internet Service
MDaemon is equipped with direct support for the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS).
BlackBerry Internet Service users can integrate their MDaemon mail account with their
BlackBerry smartphone, allowing for BlackBerry push mail as well as improved email
handling when using a BlackBerry device with MDaemon. Any BlackBerry device set up
to pull mail from MDaemon via IMAP or POP prior to MDaemon version 11.0 can now be
set up for push mail instead. Further, messages that are composed on the device will
be sent to your MDaemon for delivery rather than having the BlackBerry Internet
Service servers deliver them. This allows emails composed on a BlackBerry device to
comply with your server's security policies, content-filter rules, DKIM, archiving, and so
on.
Since the BlackBerry Internet Service only collects mail from a user's Inbox, this can
cause problems for people who use IMAP Filters 541 to sort their messages to specific
folders automatically. To overcome this problem, the BlackBerry Inbox 556 screen of the
Account Editor and the Folders page in WorldClient allow the administrators and users,
respectively, to choose which folders' new messages will be delivered to the user's
device. When the BlackBerry Internet Service connects to MDaemon to collect new
messages from the user's Inbox, MDaemon will also push the new messages from the
selected folders. All new messages from all the selected folders will be sent to the
BlackBerry device's Inbox. This does not push the actual folders to the device, it
pushes only the new messages that they contain.
Finally, an internal folder aliasing scheme allows each user's "Sent Items" and "Deleted
Items" folders to appear as values that the BlackBerry Internet Service recognizes, no
matter what those folders are actually called in the user's account. This helps ensure
that sent and deleted messages are placed into the proper MDaemon folders.
The BlackBerry Internet Service section of the BlackBerry dialog contains the following
screens:
Domains 336 — use this screen to enable BlackBerry Internet Service integration for
whichever domains you choose. There are options for entering the Subscribe URL
and the SMTP server to which the BlackBerry Internet Service should pass
messages when they are composed on a BlackBerry device. There is a history
text box on the bottom of the screen that lists your BlackBerry Internet Service
subscribe/unsubscribe activity, and there are several SSL and STARTTLS related
options.
Subscribers 338 — this screen lists the subscription numbers of all MDaemon
accounts that are setup for BlackBerry Internet Service push mail and are thus
integrated directly with MDaemon. Even if an account is not listed as an
integrated account, a BlackBerry Internet Service server may still be able to
collect mail on behalf of the BlackBerry device via POP3 or IMAP, but it will not
have the advantage of being able to send messages through your MDaemon
server.
Settings 340 — this screen has several global options governing MDaemon's
BlackBerry integration features. For example, you can choose whether or not to
allow MDaemon to push mail from non-Inbox folders, you can choose to apply
Attachment Linking 262 to Devices, you can allow multiple devices to integrate
with a single MDaemon account, and several other options.
