Can I file messages?

Yes. If you have turned on wireless email reconciliation for your BlackBerry device, any messages that you file on your device are also filed in your desktop email program.

Different icons are used in a messages list to indicate message status, saved web pages, call logs, messages with attachments, and so on. See the printed documentation that accompanied your BlackBerry device for more information about message status indicators.
Why are call logs appearing in a messages list?
When you make or receive a call, the BlackBerry device creates a call log that contains information about the call. To stop call logs from appearing in a messages list, in the phone options, click Call Logging. Set the Show These Call Log Types In Message List field to None.

When you increase the amount of time in this field, any messages that are sent to your device during that period of time appear in a messages list.

Can I view file attachments on my device?
Yes, if attachment viewing is enabled for your BlackBerry device. When you receive a message with an attachment, click the trackwheel.

However, it might take several seconds before your device receives the next section. To send only the first section of long attachments to your device, in the messages options, click General Options.

How do I handle conflicts between my device and my desktop email program?
A conflict might occur if you edit the same item on your BlackBerry device and in your desktop email program before synchronization occurs. If you turn on wireless email reconciliation, set whether the device or desktop email program takes precedence when a conflict occurs. In the messages options, click Email Reconciliation. Set the On Conflicts field. You can set this option for each email account that is integrated with your device. If you turn on wireless PIM synchronization, the information in your desktop email program should automatically take precedence over the data on your device when a conflict occurs. If you turn off wireless PIM synchronization and make changes to a PIM entry in your desktop email program and on the device, the conflicting information on the device is replaced by the information in your desktop email program when you turn on wireless PIM synchronization again. If you want to select manually how conflicts are handled, synchronize your device using the BlackBerry Desktop Software before you turn on wireless PIM synchronization. If you use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to turn on wireless calendar synchronization, you can adjust the calendar conflict resolution settings in the BlackBerry Desktop Software. See the BlackBerry Desktop Software Online Help for more information.
Why do some characters in my desktop calendar not appear correctly after synchronization?
If you create calendar entries on your BlackBerry device that contain special accents or characters, and your desktop computer does not support those accents or characters, the characters do not appear in your desktop calendar correctly.
