I assume you are spamming due to posting to so many websites without a real answer. Most want to sync contacts and calendar not so much emails themselves. Cal Sync,

The only problem Plaxo still has few minor bugs. A potential problem is that at some point Plaxo may start charging for this . Otherwise seems to work ok. Setup is all userfriendly.

It's based on Funambol, which is an open source initiative to synchronize all kind of devices. I've been using it with Thunderbird and an a Windows mobile smartphone and it works fine. There's also a Blackberry plugin, so it should be possible to do what you all want. Try with http://www.scheduleworld.com.

We use Google hosted e-mail for my work address and it runs beautifully. Google Calendar syncs up no problem with it. We had hosted Exchange through 1and1 before and it was a joke. The Google hosted version is instant, runs through IMAP and works like a charm. 100% uptime and a nice feature to store you emails for later and searc them using Googles search technology. I have not found a way to have Thunderbird/Lightning and my Blackberry to sync up yet. I'm continuing my search.

I have just started looking into this … is it possible perhaps to integrate GMail contact with Blackberry and then have Thunderbird use the GMail contact list?

The trackball works to the right and up and down like normal but to move the cursor left i have to exert pressure down on the ball. The technical support here in germany is, in a word, terrible. Is this something that I could repair myself? Also, is it possibe to edit my adressbook on the phone itself or do i have to do all that with Outlook? I have Thunderbird, which from what I've read is not compatible. The blackberry user tools cd that came with it is good for nothing that i can figure. Please, any help would be much appreciated. I just want to get the most out of it. Its such a cool phone and its a god send for my small mobile business. Thank You, Matthew I have a pearl 8100. Its hit the deck a couple of times.
