Is your blackberry on a BIS, BES, or BWC?   Or are you using a 3rd party app for email on the device?   If so, what package?

You mail server is on the inside at  10.229.A.A

In order for traffic to get to this host, you need 3 things.  
1) a static mapping or port forward from outside to inside
2) an accesslist for the outside ip that will forward inside
3) apply the acl to the interface .  


Right now you have
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any eq imap4 host 10.229.A.A eq imap4
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any eq smtp host 10.229.A.A eq smtp

This is incorrect.    



Step 1, create the port forwards:
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 10.229.A.A 25 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 10.229.A.A  993 netmask 255.255.255.255


Step 2, create the ACL
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq 25
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq 993

Step 3, Add ACL to interface
access-group outside_access_in in interface outside  


With that, you now have a mapping to the internal box port 25 and imap to the interface's IP.  

You then need to create a DNS entry and MX record for the mail server, or address it by IP.
