Blackberry BES & POP access to a DIFFERENT Exchange Server?

I have a customer who has a Blackberry that is already connected up to a BES server. Call him joe@foo.com. This cannot be reconfigured, he needs to send/receive as joe@foo.com without changing anything.

He wants to go consult for XYZ Company. XYZ has a hosted Exchange service which offers POP and IMAP access to email boxes. As a consultant for XYZ, he is joe@xyz.com.

Is it possible to configure a Blackberry device (7290, 8830) to pull mail from a hosted Exchange server using POP or IMAP but not disturb the BES configuration on the device?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Umm I think there is, but I beleive he would receive all messages on his inbox instead of two inboxes. There might be a way to filter it out to a different folder that you can turn into a mailbox. I know if you have two pop accounts it creates two inboxes, but when hooked up to a BES, I believe it might only be one.

Oli,

So if I am hearing you right, each carrier provides a "BIS Portal" which will enable internet email to be delivered to a Blackberry device? Is that correct?

What is IMEI?

Thank you very much for helping here...
