BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express user unable to open .jpg attatchments
Greetings,
I have BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express running on a windows small business server with exchange 2007.
One user reports that they cannot open jpg attatchments however they can open pdf and excel files.
I am not an expert on Blackberry server. Can this be controlled by the administrator?
I have been looking in the Blackberry administration service but I am not sure what I am looking for because I cannot find any policy that specifically blocks jpg images. But I am thinking it may be related to file size.
Thank you
Sky

The ability to view a jpg attatchment depends on what the featured provided by the ISP. You can view a jpg from a website, not not always the case when trying to view an attatchment.

Thank you.
Perhaps but why would an isp block .jpg and allow .xls? Or pdf?
I will check it. It should be easy to rule out the carrier because if the user can open jpg attatchments on another mail account then I doubt the carrier is the cause of the problem.

Well there can be multiple cases in which this can happen. Do you get issue with all the jpeg/jpg or images files?
Also please let me know what message it displays when you try to open any images file.

Thank you very much. As far as I can see the express server does not have the same Attachment Server tab as on the regular server. It only has a "test attatchment service" tab.
I have not been able to get my hands on the device yet so I don't know the answer to the question but I sent her a small (25k) jpg to test and she was able to recieve it normally so I am thinking that perhaps it was not the file type but its size that was the issue. The only reason I think this is because I was able to find the settings for limiting attatchment size in the server admin.
I am not sure if the issue is resolved or not but i will find out tomorrow.
Thank you very much.

Thank you.
I believe it was a file size issue in the end.
