Email message flags

About flags
You can add flags to email messages that you receive or send as a reminder to you or the recipients to follow up with the messages. You can use flags of different colors, add follow-up notes, and set due dates so that your BlackBerry device reminds you to return to the email messages. If wireless email reconciliation is turned on and your email account uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports flags, changes that you make to flags on your device should be reflected in the email application on your computer. Likewise, changes that you make to flags in the email application on your computer should be reflected on your device. If wireless email reconciliation is turned off, you can still manage flags for email messages on your device.

S/MIME-protected messages
S/MIME-protected message basics
About signing and encrypting messages
If your email account uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can digitally sign or encrypt messages to add another level of security to email messages and PIN messages that you send from your BlackBerry device. Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. When you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public key to verify that the message is from you and that the message has not been changed. Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipients public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message. To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have a PIN and an email address for the contact in your contact list. Your device uses the email address in your contact list to locate a PGP key or certificate for the contact.

S/MIME-protected message status
Digital signature indicators for S/MIME protected messages
: Your BlackBerry device verified the digital signature. : Your device cannot verify the digital signature. : Your device requires more data to verify the digital signature.
: Your device trusts the certificate chain. : The senders email address does not match the email address of the certificate subject, or the senders certificate is revoked, is not trusted, cannot be verified, or is not on your device. : The certificate is weak, the certificate status is not current, or your device requires more data to verify the trust status of the certificate. : The senders certificate is expired.
Encryption status indicators
Your administrator sets whether messages that you receive are considered to be strong or weak. : The message is strongly encrypted. : The message is weakly encrypted.
Check the status of a certificate or certificate chain
If a certificate is included in a received message, or is already stored in the key store on your BlackBerry device, you can check the status of the sender's certificate, or you can check the status of the sender's certificate and all other certificates in the certificate chain. 1. In a message, highlight a digital signature indicator. 2. Press the Menu key. 3. Click Check Senders Certificate or Check Senders Cert Chain.

About wireless coverage indicators
Indicators in the top right-hand corner of the Home screen display the wireless coverage level for the area in which you are using your BlackBerry device. For more information about wireless coverage areas, contact your wireless service provider. The indicator that displays five ascending bars provides information about the strength of the wireless signal. Three or more bars indicates a strong signal. A reduced signal display might indicate increased power output from your device as it attempts to connect to a weak signal.
If the wireless coverage indicators display anything other than 1XEV, 1X, 3G , EDGE, GPRS, NXTL, MIKE, or NTWK, you might be in an area of reduced wireless coverage where features such as email messaging and internet browsing are not available (you might only be able to make a phone call or send and receive SMS text messages). If the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears, you can only call emergency numbers. If the X indicator appears, you are in an area of no wireless coverage. If your device includes Wi-Fi support, a dimmed Wi-Fi logo with a network name displayed at the top of the screen indicates that your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network but does not have access to BlackBerry services such as email messaging and internet browsing over the WiFi connection.

Word Mole game

Word Mole game basics

About the Word Mole game

The object of the Word Mole game is to form words using the letters in the garden. If you form a word using letters that are directly above, below, or beside each other in the garden, you receive new letters which you can use to form new words. Otherwise, holes appear in the garden, making it harder to form new words. You can replace a hole with a new letter by forming a word that uses a letter that is beside the hole. In a single-player game, you complete a level by submitting enough words to reach the required point goal before the time expires. In a practice game, you have unlimited time to play a game. In a multiplayer game, you compete against other players to win awards for achievements such as submitting the longest word, or receiving the least number of holes.
