Yes, the easiest way to configure a BlackBerry to sync with your email account is to first make sure unit has Internet access, then configure for IMAP using your email account settings.

CalDAV server PIM (personal information manager) client access use:
You will need to login with your username as your full email address and provide password.

Some clients will not allow the @ character in the username. In this case the @ should be replaced with a % and the mail Server will automatically convert it.

Real time management turns open source email clients into powerful and versatile PIM (personal information manager) applications allowing access to groupware folders. Advanced Meeting Management: Using multiple calendar resources, an assistant can easily plan events for the whole department. Resource booking and meeting management will take a minute when you can see upcoming events of the attendees at once. Server-side extension enables shared calendars in spite of missing support in the client. With no direct support for GroupWare required on client side, the list of applications is rather long. Below are some of the most powerful and popular time management applications, some of them combined with e-mail clients. If you were looking for a good Outlook replacement, you don't have to search any longer.

DKIM is the newer enhanced version of Domain Keys, DKIM stands for "Domain Keys Identified Mail". DKIM creates a domain-level authentication framework for email by using public-key technology and DNS record to prove the source and content of a message. The email authentication validation system will help protect you from phishing scams; receive fewer fake e-mails claiming to be sent by eBay and PayPal. Despite Domain Keys slowly giving grounds to DKIM, the Domain Keys old standard is currently still in use by some large players in the Internet world.

You can find general information about Domain Keys at http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys.

You can find general information about DKIM at http://dkim.org and the DKIM FAQs at http://dkim.org/info/dkim-faq.html. For testing please visit http://testing.dkim.org/.

DKIM keys are stored in a subdomain called _domainkey, the format of the DNS TXT record is: <Selector>._domainkey.<domainname>

Example: dkim._domainKey.domain.com, where in this example dkim is the name of your private selector key.

There are different ways to set up your DNS record depending on how strict you want the DKIM policy for your domain to be.

DKIM Legend (you can use these signing policies with DKIM):
o=~ NEUTRAL or RELAXED (signature optional)
o=- STRONG (signature required, but not necessarily from my domain)
o=! EXCLUSIVE (signature required, and it must be from my domain) *
o=. NEVER (this site doesn't send mail)
o=^ USER (reserved for future use)

Example DNS data for policy using DKIM:
(Testing and using NEUTRAL signing policy)
_policy._domainkey.domain.com. IN TXT 't=y; o=~;'

(Not testing and using STRONG signing policy)
_policy._domainkey.domain.com. IN TXT 'o=-;'
