One of the downsides of being a BIS user is that you don’t get the ability to archive your deleted BlackBerry emails. Well there is a way to do it and it has changed my life.
If you’re like me, you have drunk the Cool-Aid and you’re using Google Calendar, Reader, Docs (which I’m writing this on right now) etc. Even though you love Google products, you can’t make the jump to Android because, when it comes to communication and getting things done, nothing is better than BlackBerry.
There have been rumors of a BlackBerry plugin for Gmail for ages, but it’s taking a long time and we’re not hearing much news about it. Until then, here is a solution for archiving your deleted BlackBerry emails using Gmail.

A new service, elog.com, can use an email from your BlackBerry to create a website straight from your device. With elog.com, you don’t need to register an account and you can create as many web pages as you want. All you have to do is send an email to elog.com and your webpage is created automatically.
elog.com is a simple and non-invasive service. Your website looks exactly like the email you send and it can serve a variety of purposes. To create your own web page, just send an email to newpage@elog.com. Your email can have pretty much anything you want in it and your new web page will look just like the email you send. You will be issued a public web page, e.g. 1993.elog.com, that others can view immediately. To update your web page with new content, just send an email to it, e.g. 1993@elog.com.
Currently, the system does not allow for attachments, but the company has told me that if the BlackBerry community were interested in such a feature, it would be easy to implement. Is this a feature you would like to see?
This is an example of the type of website you can currently create. It took about 10-15 minutes.

One of Europe’s leading advertising agencies, Euro RSCG , has deployed Neverfail’s BlackBerry email backup application to service 150 of its most senior executives in the Asia-Pacific region.
The use of the application was in response to a hard-drive failure that crippled its BlackBerry email services. The problem took days for them to recover from as reinstalling the BlackBerry Enterprise Server “was not an easy task.”
The company has said it’s very pleased with the Neverfail solution. My question to BlackBerry Cool readers is – have you experienced a similar problem within your organization? If your organization has not experienced this problem, what alternate safeguards do you have in place?
