Large businesses are starting to move away now the enterprise email security features are becoming more mature for apple / android devices.

I only know one person who bought a blackberry on a personal contract in the past year. Not sure why!

I've got emails working. Was a bit of a pfaff but it works fine if slowly.

Do you have emails working via the Telephone : Messages menu , or Office : Menu  or, I know find a third option

Connected drive: BMW Online: Office: BMW Online Messages


I am absolutely sure when I had a blackberry all my emails and text messages could be viewed either by going Telephone : Messages or via Office : Messages

I am guessing that at that point the car read the mails fromt he phone, whereas now it is downloading the emails from the server?

Emails directly to the car, not using the phone at all you can sent up the car to directly access the email account.

OK,  back on the case now as still have no emails in the car.

Text messages seem to come through if received whilst in the car.

Ideally i'd like the emails to show on the Telephone: Messages  screen. Not via Connected drive: BMW Online: Office: Messages  as you have to keep going through the loading procedure each time you want to check.

You know two people now, me!!!  I'm not really that precious over my mobile, sure I'd like a decent smart phone.  I believe my company are moving away from the technology, but I haven't done anything about ordering a new handset as yet.  It's probably some ridiculous process I cant be bothered to learn until my phone breaks or someone shows me how to request it.

Looks like I will have this functionality then.
