Some of my colleague at work was asking on how to setup corporate e-mail on their personal blackberry device (Bold or Curve or Storm). Basically only the GMs and above or certain SMs will get access to the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) emails. For those with personal Blackberry either through Celcom or Maxis comes with BIS (Blackberry Interner Service). Please refer here to know what’s the difference between BIS and BES.

Some of my colleagues tried to contact our IT personnel, but was unable to get assistance beyond BES since BES need certain approvals to access e-mail. Therefore it left them only with BIS which was provided by the service provider (Celcom or Maxis). I don’t personally have a blackberry but I searched around for quite a while until I found a very straightforward solutions.
Follow the steps below:
Step 1:
Your company Exchange server has already been upgraded from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 or 2010. In the company that I am currently working, the Exchange server has been upgraded to Exchange 2010. Yeah!
Step 2 (Very Important Step):
Please check with your company’s IT Administrator for Outlook Anywhere authorisation. You’ll need this feature to be enabled in order for it to work with Apple Mail or Exchange 2011.
For those who works in the same company with me (you know which company. Image may be NSFW.
