Is it possible to setup BES express with BPOS

Hi,

I have a 5 users who all have blackberries which connect to the Microsoft Online Services known as BPOS using the OWA url.

They now want to have over air sync of calander and contacts so we have upgrade the tariffs to BES on the handset and have obtained the BES Express. Ive installed the software onto a pc in the office and Im now trying to point the software at the mailbox server which I believe is red002.mail.emea.microsoftonline.com. However, when I try to connect to check a mailbox is say its not able to connect to the server??

Im not 100% sure if BES Express can work with BPOS, any ideas guys.

I'm not sure what BPOS is but with BES Express you are able to sync contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, etc. You can also set it (after you activate) to only do calendar and contacts and have BPOS do Email which sounds like what you want to do correct?

BPOS is Microsoft Cloud Computing. The exchange server sits in the Microsoft Cloud and Im trying to point the BES Express software at that server but Im not sure if the BPOS supports this type of configuration.

Just received confirmation from Microsoft that BES Express dosent work, the only solution is purchase blackberry licenses from Microsoft themselves.

Thanks to all contributors but no points on this one for anyone - do you agree EE Mods?
