Hi All,

Now that InstaSpell is out, we have something new for you!

Empower BES MailBox allows you to view your Work Emails separately from all other Emails.

OTA: http://www.getempower.com/bes/ebm.php
PC-DM: http://www.getempower.com/bes/Empower_BES_MailBox.zip

No more getting your Work emails cluttered in the plethora of BIS, PIN, SMS and Browser messages.

Let us know your thoughts about it.

Thanks!
Ani.

Hooper - you are on BES or BIS ? Also, do you get an icon on your HomeScreen?

BES account and 1 BIS account. I get an icon on the home screen, but nothing happens when I select it. I mean nothing.... no errors at all.

Very nice! Works on my TMo 8100. Still need "Messages" folder for PIN's but nice little app!

Is this a trial version that will expire or is this the full version? I like it.

Interesting. Will give it a try.

EDIT: I installed it and it doesn't appear to do anything. I have a new envelope icon, but when I click on it nothing happens. I'm using a Sprint 8830.

Thanks. Its a Trial that will force-expire in 10 days. By that time I guess we will have better versions that will work for a greater audience. (As we can see its not working for some environments right now. We will need to work on it.)

ok, looks like the problem has been identified (thanks to juwaack). We will be providing an update for those for whom its not working.

Thanks!
Ani.

Same here (not working) on my BB 8300 (with both BES and BIS account).
Envelope icons appears, but nothing happens when clicked.
Thanks.

This is (almost) PERFECT for me! All we need is that new icon that indicates new messages. Currently, the messages icon is the same for new mail, and no new mail.

That and the ability to see PIN messages.

Same problem here as well. I am on a bes. BB is 8800c on ATT

Hi All,

We have an update. Pls upgrade to v0.92. Download links remain same for OTA & PC-DM.

The ability to change the icon for new BES messages will be added within a day or two.

Thanks!
Ani.

Works (BB 8300)! Love it.

Is it possible to add a stand-alone icon for SMS/MMS messages only in a similar way?

There is actually a built-in filter in the BlackBerry OS for SMS messages. Launch the Messages application. From the menu, select View Folder followed by SMS Inbox or SMS Outbox.

Btw, Some nice tidbits for us with regard to Empower BES MailBox. (Full credits to Tom. )

Correct me if I am wrong, but there appears to be a great feature for BES users embedded within this "simple" app. After launching "BES Messages" from the BlackBerry home screen, perform a search of your liking -- the search is performed using only messages that you received or sent via your BES mail account.

1) For users of PocketDay 5, just add a key mapping (aka "shortcut") to the BES Mailbox app to launch directly form PocketDay.

2) Another benefit is that the compose function automatically "defaults" to your BES account when in BES only view no matter what your outbound default is set to on the device.

Nice finds Tom !

This is pretty nice. Couple of questions though to make sure I'm not missing something.

Is it possible to have a folder/icon that contains just everything else? All messages EXCEPT the BES messages?

What I would like in the end is to have one place to see only BES messages, and another place to see only my BIS messages.

The RIM OS currently provides an separate icon on the BlackBerry home screen for EACH of your BIS e-mail accounts, but there is currently no way to look at ALL of the BIS accounts in a single view without the BES messages, too.
