This page has been updated to provide information about the new U of S Email and Calendar service. If you are looking for information relating to the old U of S Email service, it is still available.
Detailed information regarding the changeover between the old and new service is also available.
ITS offers the BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) for employees who wish to synchronize email, calendar and contact information from the U of S Email and Calendar service with a BlackBerry device. BES provides two way synchronization so that you can send email or book a meeting from your Blackberry through the U of S Email and Calendar service. Using BES, you can look up contacts or search the Global Address List for the U of S Email and Calendar service.
In order to activate a BlackBerry for BES, you need:
- a Blackberry device with a data plan
- to be a U of S employee
- to supply payment of $50 per year from a UNIFI account number
Download this Adobe form to Request the Blackberry Enterprise Service for your device. The form can be submitted by clicking the 'Send Email' button at the bottom. If you are unable to use the Adobe form, send an email to afexchange-tracks@usask.ca including your full name, department/college, nsid, and the CFOAPAL for your UNIFI account.
When your request for the BES service has been processed, you will receive an automated U of S BES enterprise activation email with an activation password in it. Follow this Set-Up Guide to Activate BES on your Blackberry device.
If you have the U of S Email and Calendar service and a BlackBerry but are unable to subscribe for the BES service, it is still possible to configure your BlackBerry to access email on the U of S Email and Calendar service. Configuring your Blackberry to use IMAP is free and it allows you to send and receive email but does not give you access to the calendar and address book information.
