Managing messages and folders
A BlackBerry Connect account includes the
following features for managing email
messages and folders:
Moving messages Only the Inbox folder
synchronizes with BlackBerry Enterprise
Server. If you create another folder and
move a message there from the Inbox, the
message no longer synchronizes with the
server—even if you move the message
back into the Inbox.
NOTE If you move messages from a
server folder to a personal folder in Outlook
on your desktop computer, that message is
not removed from the Inbox on your Treo
680 unless your company is using
BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 4.1 or
later.
Read/unread status Messages marked
as read or unread on your Treo 680 or on
the server are synchronized so that each
message has the same status in both
locations. In the event of a discrepancy, the
message status on your Treo 680 overrides
the status on the server. You can manually
reconcile message status between your
Treo 680 and the server.
Replying to and forwarding messages
By default, when you forward or reply to a
message, the text is sent from the server
copy of the message, not from the copy on
your Treo 680. This is faster and may save
on data charges, and it allows you to send
replies/forwards that exceed the maximum
message size allowed for sending
messages from your Treo 680. If a server
copy does not exist, the reply or forward is
sent from your Treo 680, as long as the
maximum message size is not exceeded.
Working with attachments
Viewing attachments
BlackBerry Connect accounts let you view
a list of all attachments to a message, with
approximate file size, so you can decide
which ones you want to download. The list

however, receive, reply to, and forward

the Calendar application.
• From within the VersaMail application,
you can accept, decline, or tentatively
accept a meeting invitation. Your
response is automatically synchronized

Here are the key features of working with
Calendar events in a BlackBerry Connect
account:
Initial deletion and push When you set
up BlackBerry Connect on your Treo 680,
all existing Calendar events are deleted on
your Treo 680, and all events on the server
are sent to your Treo 680—so you do not
end up with duplicate events.
Push Calendar events Once the
BlackBerry Connect account is set up, the
server pushes Calendar events to your Treo
680 as they are received. Push Calendar
events applies to BlackBerry Connect
accounts only.
Reconciliation When you enter or update
an event in the Calendar application on
your Treo 680, the information is wirelessly
receive and respond to meeting invitations
sent to you.
• Any events you create or change in
Outlook on your computer that are on
the server are sent to your Treo 680.
• Any meeting invitations are displayed in
the Inbox of your BlackBerry Connect
account in the VersaMail application.
When you respond to an invitation, the
response is updated to the server and
then sent from the server to Calendar
on your Treo 680.
Time zones: events sent from server
Calendar events, both meetings and
appointments, received from the server
retain their time zone information when
sent to the Calendar application on your
Treo 680. If you change the time zone on

at the correct time in the new time zone.
Time zones: events created on the Treo
680 All appointments created on your Treo
680 are assigned a time zone. You can
manually assign a time zone to an
appointment; if you do not, the
appointment is given the time zone set in
Date & Time preferences on your Treo 680.
When you synchronize, the time zone
information is retained in the appointment
on the server.
Changing Calendar sync settings when you delete a BlackBerry Connect account
If you want to stop synchronizing Calendar
events with the server, you must delete
the BlackBerry Connect account.
IMPORTANT The following steps ensure
that you do not end up with duplicate
events on your Treo 680 or your computer.
Complete these steps only if you are sure
that the Calendar info on your Treo 680 is
up-to-date; otherwise, you will lose any
info on your desktop that is not on your
Treo 680. If you are not sure that your Treo
680 info is up-to-date, skip steps 4 through
7. Your desktop info will not be deleted in
this case, though you may end up with
duplicate events.
TIP
If you skip steps 4 through 7 of “Changing
Calendar sync settings when you delete a
BlackBerry Connect account,” you can
manually delete any duplicate events after
you’ve completed the procedure.

Synchronizing Contacts
Unlike your email messages and Calendar events, new
contacts on the server are not pushed to your Treo 680, and
new contacts on your Treo 680 are not reconciled with the
server. Instead, you synchronize contacts with Microsoft
Outlook or Lotus Notes on your computer.
When you synchronize, any contacts you enter or update on
your Treo 680 are updated in Outlook or Notes on your
computer, and any contacts you enter or update in Outlook or
Notes are updated on your Treo 680, so you do not need to
enter the info twice.

• Check with your BlackBerry Enterprise

Server
administrator to verify that the
service is working properly.
I am not getting any new messages.
If less than 1MB of memory is available on
your Treo 680, new messages cannot be
sent from the server using your BlackBerry
Connect account. Delete some messages
to free up at least 1.2MB of memory, and
see if new messages appear.
TIP
To check for available space on your Treo
680, go to Applications and select Info on
the App menu. At the bottom of the screen,
select Size. The first number on the Free
Space line tells you how much space is
available on your Treo 680.
Also, if the total number of messages in all
accounts exceeds 2,200, new messages
cannot be sent from the server using your
BlackBerry Connect account. If you have
several accounts in the VersaMail
application for personal email, the number
of messages in these accounts is included
in the maximum 2,200 message limit.
Delete some messages in any of your
accounts so that you have fewer than
2,000 total messages across all accounts,
and see if new messages appear.
Some messages have disappeared from my Inbox.
Email messages in your Inbox that fall
outside the time interval set on the Treo
680 (the default is seven days) are deleted
from your Inbox. For example, if the time
interval is set at seven days, any email
messages that are eight days old are
removed from your Treo 680. The
messages are not removed from the
Exchange or Domino server. You can select
a preference to change the time interval.
I have read and/or deleted messages in my Treo 680 Inbox, but they are not displayed correctly.
If read, unread, or deleted messages are
not showing the correct status in your Treo
680 Inbox (for example, deleted messages
continue to appear in the Inbox instead of
in the Trash folder), you need to manually
reconcile the Inbox with your server.
Messages that have been deleted on your
Treo 680 are deleted on the server when
the trash on your Treo 680 is emptied. By

default, the trash is emptied automatically
once a week—so messages that have
been deleted on your Treo 680 may take a
few days to be deleted on the server. You

automatically emptying the trash on your
Treo 680; see the Treo 680 User Guide for
