Push email to Blackberry over CLEO network

[Geoff]

We have a new headteacher. He likes his gadgets. Thusly he has directed us to buy him a Blackberry (but not a Storm, because they suck apparently) and make his school email work with the push email stuff that Blackberrys can do.

I've got all the fun server stuff working at my end. I'm just wondering if the wonderfully restrictive CLEO network is likely to get in the way?

So, has anyone tried this before?

Not yet, but would be interested to see how you get on. Apparently you can set them up with OWA on your server or something, is that something to look at?

All i know is that you may have to buy a BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) and run it next to your exchange. I have had a very basic play with setting one up at my previous company

We have 1 user with a Blackberry bold. Was dead quick to setup, and it uses the outlook web access address to get the e-mail.
