exchange 2010 migration how to configure BlackBerry Curve 8350 owa mail.
the scenarion is like this.
Right now we have a 2003 Exchange that we connect to PDAs via external address mail.Company name.com using webmail or active sync (old webmail address is http://mail.Company name.com/exchange)
The new connection of PDAs devices BlackBerry Curve 8350 will be using the same method. The new connection is to Exchange 2010 - so it uses SSL, the external host address is the same as before, mail.Company name.com. the new webmail address is https://mail.Company name.com/owa
my question is what is the exact configuration for the new BlackBerry Curve 8350 e-mail configuration to the exchange server 2010 using SSL.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Just so that it gets mentioned... If you want to configure BlackBerrys so that the email shows up under the email app, you can either use BIS and connect to the OWA address (often calendar and contacts don't work well with this method), or you can set up a BES server (the Express version has all the features that many need, and calendar and contact synchronization are MUCH better).
Agreed. I answered the question but as footech suggested BES (Express) is a far superior solution, easier to manage, better security, offers logging, and free for use with SBS.

The way I tend to configure a Blackberry is to deliberately enter the password incorrectly, then it ALWAYS fails and you then get the "I will provide my own settings" prompt. Otherwise, RobWill's suggestion is what I do to the letter.
If you enter the correct details, it often sets up a POP3 account, which isn't the desired result.

I have never had it default to a POP3 account, but if so that is a good tip.
I guess I am luckier than you! It always seems to work for me so I always go for the wrong password just to force the 'I'll do it my way' option!!
I remember you saying about using the wrong password before, so the last one I set up I tried it and I do believe it timed out faster. I usually suggest using it just because that is what the BB documentation says, but your way I think saves a little time if nothing else.

thank you for your comments. some of the blackberries are already connected to the old exchange 2003 server. is the process the same for those blackberry as well ?
Yes but you will probably have to wipe them first.
What's documentation? ;)

my boss would like me to keep the settings the same on the old blackberry devices. if was Web Mail leave as webmail if it was Active Sync -leave it as Active Sync. how can identify differences between both on the BlackBerry devices ?

on the old blackberry devices that already have e-mail set up I just need to add a new e-mail account and use the new url https://mail.Company name.com/owa then delete the old account ? or is there a way to just change the url or do i need to wipe it. Which I am trying to avoid it is not necessary.
