Assigning BlackBerry devices
to users
Preparing to distribute a BlackBerry device
Before you distribute a BlackBerry device to a user, you can configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to synchronize
email messages that the user previously sent and received on a supported BlackBerry device. You can synchronize
messages for a new user or for a user whose PIN changed when they received a replacement BlackBerry device.
When the BlackBerry Enterprise Server synchronizes messages onto a BlackBerry device, it applies the message filter rules
and redirection settings that are specific to the user account.
Change how the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
downloads a user's existing email messages onto the
BlackBerry device
By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server synchronizes the headers of 200 email messages from the previous 5 days to
a BlackBerry device when you activate it. If you change the BlackBerry Enterprise Server settings so that it synchronizes
the headers and body of messages to a BlackBerry device when you activate it, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can
synchronize up to 3000 messages from the previous 30 days.
