There are a variety of attachment viewing applications available, each supporting a different file type. There are also editing applications for Microsoft Word and Excel files (eWord and eCell) which require a purchased license for full functionality. If a licensed is not purchased, however, the editing applications can still be used to view attachments. The editing functions, however, are disabled until the product is registered.
The following is a list of the applications you might use to view various attachment file types:
| File Type | Description | View App |
|---|---|---|
| .doc | MS Word document | Word Viewer |
| .xls | MS Excel document | Excel Viewer |
| .txt | Text file | View (NotifyLink) |
| Adobe PDF | PDF Viewer | |

| .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .png | Image | Image Viewer |

To see Sent Items, you need to change the status of the Track Sent Items option to "Email". NotifyLink will then place Email sent from the device into the Sent Items folder. To adjust the setting, open NotifyLink, press the menu button, then select Preferences > Email Settings.
Note: Saving Sent Items will take up memory on the device. We recommend that users do not use this feature. If you do enable the feature, delete the contents often.
Sent Items are also saved in your IMAP account in the folder Sent.
To setup a blackberry for use with your Queen's email you will need to go to the web page for your provider. This method uses your providers BIS server to forward your email to the device.
For Bell: https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=bell
For Rogers: https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=rogers
If you haven't already done so you'll need to create an account with your provider (this is free assuming your subscribing to the blackberry service). Once you've logged in, select email accounts and provide the information requested for your Queen's email account. You can create multiple accounts if you like. The username must be your NetID. If in the beginning you are experiencing difficulties sending or receiving email from your BlackBerry device, click on the service books option and send service books to your device.
The IT Support Centre does not support this feature. If you experience problems in setting this up, please contact your provider for assistance.
Look at the following sections:

To reduce your charges for roaming ITServices suggests the following: Log in in here https://notifylink.queensu.ca/client Once you have logged in you can then adjust the settings for your device synchronization.

Three possible reasons for missing email:
From: http://notifylink.notify.net/nlheClient.asp#BLOCKS
With the BLOCK and UNBLOCK commands, Notifylink lets you control a custom list of specific email addresses you may wish to block from receiving messages from on your wireless device. This is useful for blocking spam and other unwanted email from a senders address. To BLOCK a sender, open the message and click on Options - Commands - BLOCK. Emails from that email address will no longer be sent to your device.
The UNBLOCK command can be sent from your blackberry and is used to unblock a previously blocked address you now wish to receive messages from. Simply open Notifylink, Click on Options - Commands - UNBLOCK. You are then prompted to enter the email address you wish to unblock. New email from that address with then be sent to your device when available.
Blackberry will sync changes to your email so if you move it from the mail servers Inbox, it will be removed from the blackberry on the next mail sync.
