Web based email program prevents access from email aggregator

Hi all - I'm a fairly new BB user and have a problem that I need some help.  I have been using my BB Bold to access my U.S. Army webmail.  Recently I received an email from the system saying that access to email by aggregators such as Google mail and Blackberry will not longer be allowed because those systems store usernames and passwords on servers outside the control of the Army.  Apparently this is a cyber-security concern.
The webmail will still allow IMAP and POP access so long as the username and password are not stored on external servers (such Microsoft Outlook).  I can not figure out a way to configure my BB to do this without storing my username and password on the BIS system.  Short of installing a third party application is there any way to access my Army email from my BB without storing my username and password on the BIS system?
Thanks for your help!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Nope...BIS is a conduit that pulls from your POP/IMAP account and then pushes new stuff to your BB. If there is nothing to push, it does nothing to interrupt your BB. To do all of that, it must know your credentials for your POP/IMAP service...hence the fact that your ID and password must be stored inside of your BIS configuration. That's how it works.
The only other thing I can think of for you would be the webmail interface -- if they have one, you could use the BB Browser to access that email account rather than go through BIS.
Good luck!

  • Web-based mail program as default for emailing photos?

    I'd prefer to use my gmail account to send photos, rather than my Mail account. But the options are only for Mail, Entourage, and AOL, I think.
    I can't seem to figure out how to do this any other way than from gmail, click "attach a file" and browse through my directories and select each individual photo. This would be fine, except that the attachments are enormous and I can't figure out how to resize them to a manageable size.
    So, to summarize. Is it possible to use a web-based mail program as your iphoto default? If not, how can I shrink the size down to 240X320 or 640X480, or somewhere in that range?
    I'm using iphoto 4.0.3. Thanks.

    There are programs that allow you to designate a web mail page for the default email program (WebMailer for one). I would guess they should work the same jumping from iPhoto, but don't know how well they'd work at attaching an image since that is usually a process specific to how the page is designed.
    Probably, it'd be easiest to leave Mail as the default email app with Gmail set as the default account, for situations like this, and use the regular webmail interface when you're not planning to attach an image if you like that interface more.

  • Using Nightly to access web-based email - Won't allow me to send an attachment - Please Help

    I sometimes need to access my email through a browser. When using nightly I have, on several, been unable to send a file attachment. A few minutes ago I got a pop-up that said that nightly was blocking all attachments for security reasons. - The popup disappeared before I was able to read it fully. The attachment was an innocuous document from a standard word processor with no macros or other potentially hazardous content. I do, from time to time, need to send attachments to colleagues using a web-based email interface. How can I get Nightly allow this?
    Thanx in advance.

    HI CosmicWolf,
    In about:settings please check the list of pop up exceptions under Content. It is also possible to click on the icon next to the url and look at "Page Info". From this menu under Permissions see is pop ups are blocked.
    Its a bit hidden, but it can be changed. [[Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting]]

  • Distribution through a web based email account

    I don't mind telling you that ADOBE has been the worst learning experience of my life, the worst most unimaginative, uncreative website and instruction process ever. Pathetic. Having said that, note the last line of the "distribute" advice in their help base. Specifically,
    "if you want to distribute it through a web-based email account, the process is slightly different" AND NO WHERE DO THEY TELL YOU HOW IT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT OR HOW TO DO IT.
    Anyone have any clues?
    Unbelievable
    From Their Useless Help Database.
    If you want to distribute the form immediately and through your default email application, you can complete the distribution process entirely in the Distribute Forms wizard. However, if you want to distribute the form later, or if you want to distribute it through a web-based email account, the process is slightly different.

    I have a similar problem. When I'm logged into my company's online bank, I sometimes need to e-mail some account transcripts, but the Adobe reader pop up a box, and telling it's been a fatal error, and need to be shut down. I couls easily do that before, but suddenly it don't work. What is the problem with this program? It really sucks!!

  • Web based email and Mail

    Hello
    I have a web based email account (with Postmaster). I think it is IMAP, POP3 or Exchange based. Is it possible for me to access / download my emails onto my Mac via Mail? And then to send emails from my Postmaster email address via Mail? (This would save me having to be online to view and send emails)
    If this is possible how do I set it up?
    Thank you
    Mark

    Hello Mark.
    I seriously doubt this email account is an Exchange (Exchange Server) type account which is usually reserved for business/corporate type accounts only.
    If Postmaster supports accessing the account as a POP or IMAP type account with an email client such as the Mail.app, the answer is yes but only Postmaster can answer this question and if the answer is yes, you also get the account setup information from Postmaster.
    (This would save me having to be online to view and send emails)
    Accessing an email account with an email client such as the Mail.app - receiving and sending messages will also require being online or connected to the internet.

  • I get this message when trying to past simple text into an e-mail document. The Web-Based Email plugin has crashed. I have run out of options...please help.

    The Web-Based Email plugin has crashed. I get this message when trying to paste simple text into an email document. I have updated plugins and have run out of options. If I use another browser I have no problem. Please advise.

    UPDATE
    Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?

  • How do I get "mailto:" links to work with my web based email?

    I use the web based email from godaddy.com called workspace. I can't get the mailto: links to work with firefox. I did find a code that makes the correct compose window to open up but it doesn't input the email address.
    Also, a related problem with my email is that you can't copy an email address and then paste the email address into the email. Pasting is not allowed with firefox but works ok with Internet Explorer

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try adjusting the dolby digital setting.

  • I use Go Daddy web based email....when I try to Compose a new email firefox automatically opens the upload page as if I am going to add a attachment. I have to close the pop up to write an email.....each time! Help?

    open Firefox
    open web based email
    choose compose
    email/compose window opens
    followed immediately by upload file window as a pop up
    I can close it and continue with email but this is not very convenient.

    Sorry I have no solution but this happened to me after Hulu told me to clear my browser cache (history) to be able to watch a video that stopped abruptly (Hulu lied; you rarely need to clear the cache.)
    You can back up your browser history to keep this from being a problem in the future.

  • Feature request - iSync with Gmail, other web-based emails

    It would also be great if you could iSync the Mac's Address book with Gmail and other web-based email services.
    I know I can export contacts and load them in to Gmail. But you have to remember to do this each time you change an email address in the Mac's address book.

    I just got this email back from Plaxo. Apparantly Plaxo does not sync Address Book with GMail, yet. But they are planning to offer this feature in the future. Although he does not say whether this will be an automatic background synchronization.
    Hi Brian,
    Thank you for contacting Plaxo
    You can go ahead and download the Plaxo toolbar for Mac using this link "http:www.plaxo.com/downloads" and install the Plaxo toolbar for your Mac and download your contacts from your Plaxo online to your Mac address book. However, as of now you will not be able to sync your Plaxo online account with Gmail account. Very soon we will have this as a Plaxo feature.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions and concerns.

  • My web-based email downloads aren't working properly. Is this a plugin issue?

    Either since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 (and updates) or getting Adobe Reader updates, my download configuration is no longer working properly. For example, when I am downloading (from my web-based email) attachments such as images, word docs, excel docs, this is what happens:
    1) I am NOT asked if I want to Save or Open
    2) The document opens awkwardly in the correct application, attempts to PRINT immediately, then quickly closes and re-opens in Adobe Reader!
    I cancel the printing as quickly as I can, but am baffled. I'm guessing it's a plugin issue, but don't know how to resolve that.
    I know it's a Firefox issue, because I tried in Opera and it works normally. Please help, thanks!

  • Microsoft Outlook web based email help

    Help! I have a microsoft outlook web based email account at work. I'm trying to get it to work with my iPhone. They dont provide the outgoing server info. I can get to it through the internet, but it takes time. I'd like to set it up as a normal email account. Any thoughts? I had it working with my old blackberry, but that had a computer site that assisted with it. PLease help....love the iPhone so far, with this one bumb....
    Thanks in advance.

    But that is just it. The iPhone is not intended to be a corporate phone nor did Apple make the claim that it was supposed to.
    I am glad that I am not the only having this problem, however I bought this phone for the specific reason of having increased access to my calendar and email and I am very disappointed to now find that the Microsoft Exchange server is not fully or appropriately supported.
    Apple has been very public ever since its release on what email systems it supported.
    The associate at the Apple store in Tampa that I spoke with assured me that the iPhone worked seamlessly with Outlook but failed to mention any potential issues with the Microsoft Exchange Server.
    That is because outlook and exchange are two very different things.
    This issue needs to be resolved or there will be plenty of very unhappy business men and women.

  • Submit form using web based email service

    I regularly get sent forms by my printers which I fill in to approve print jobs. There's a submit button the forms which has always nicely opened up Mail (Mac OS X) in order to send a data file that the sender can read. However, I've just recently started using a different email client (Postbox) and I get this error from Adobe Acrobat...
    The SendMail doesn't know how to talk to your default mail client.  Please select a different mail application to use.
    I can't find a way to change the settings though. I used to be given the option between sending via a desktop or web based email service but a while ago I ticked the box to 'not show this message again'.
    Anyone got any ideas how I can maybe use Gmail or similar to send these forms?
    Cheers,
    Jon

    Dear Frances,
    The "Submit by Email" button enables to submit your form data in two modes.
    1) Default Email Application (MS Outlook)
    2) Use Webmail
    You can use option 2 to submit form data through Webmail.
    Thanks,

  • Web-based email & Mail

    Hi folks
    I currently have a yahoo email address which works fine with the iPhone but not Mail on my Macbook. I hear this is down to yahoo being difficult. I also have been having problems with my email anyways so am looking to switch to another web-based email that works with Mail.
    At this stage I do not want to pay for this, so would appreciate any feedback from some free web-based email accounts that you have used. Best? Which ones to avoid?
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Cheers,
    Howard

    gmail (google mail) works excellently with both iPhone and Mail on Mac. You can use it with IMAP, something you cannot do with Yahoo, unless you have a paid account (as far as I know).
