You can use the BlackBerry® Enterprise Transporter to move one or more user accounts from one BlackBerry Domain to a different BlackBerry Domain.

You can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter when your organization upgrades the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and you want to create a new BlackBerry Domain, or if you need to move user accounts between BlackBerry Domain instances. For example, if you want to upgrade your organization’s BlackBerry Enterprise Server from version 4.0 SP7 to version 5.0, you can create a separate BlackBerry Domain version 5.0 and use the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter to move your organization’s user accounts to the new BlackBerry Configuration Database. You can also use the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter to move user accounts from a production BlackBerry Domain to a test BlackBerry Domain and back.

Benefits-
You need to do the enterprise activation again which means this process is transparent to the user community and they will not notice that they have moved to a different server. I have also tested with the users who had more approx. 4000 contacts and it worked smoothly. Before you migrate the users you must create a manifest file and preview the migration process.

This how the ESEUTIL works. In my case I created a test databases and moved the mailboxes to different databases but the size of the database remains same. I did it for test only, never do it on your production unless you need to.

I have been waiting for this since I bought my Samsung Infuse (Android). I have just configured it and it rocks. You gotta try it too

This solution article provides information on how to setup your Hotmail account on Android phones.

Android app:
Search for Hotmail on the Android Market from your mobile device. Select the Hotmail app listed by Microsoft+SEVEN. Tap the install button.

You can also access the app on the Android Market here.

Key features include:

• With push email get messages on your phone without delay
• Synced calendar and contacts
• View your folders in Hotmail, including sub folders
• Send pictures from your phone using Hotmail
• Supports multiple Hotmail accounts
• Send, receive and view attachments

App is compatible on Android versions 2.1 and above.

Instructions for default mail client

Account settings and their level of support will vary across Android phones. While the steps to configure push email with synced contacts and calendar will vary, we have found these steps to work across a number of phones:

1. Select Email client on phone.
2. Press menu and select Add account
3. Enter full Hotmail address: e.g. username@hotmail.com or username@live.com
4. Enter password
5. Select Manual setup
6. Select Exchange when prompted for “What type of account is this?”
7. Domain/Username, enter full Hotmail address: e.g. username@hotmail.com. (Note: if the device only says “Domain”, it should be left blank. If the device says “Username”, then enter the full Hotmail address. On some devices, the Domain/Username may be pre-populated incorrectly and should be erased.
8. Type in password. (may already be filled in)
9. Server name. Enter: m.hotmail.com for server name. (Note: this field may be pre-populated incorrectly depending on device).
10. Make sure box Use secure connection (SSL) is checked.
11. Select Next
12. Select desired account options for inbox checking frequency, number of days to synchronize, send email by default, notifications and contacts/calendar sync. Select Next.
13. Depending on device you may be prompted for account color and account name (e.g. “Hotmail”)
14. Select Next and your Hotmail is set-up and ready to go!

If these steps aren’t working, you can always access Hotmail through your phones browser at www.hotmail.com

Shadow redundancy protects the availability and recoverability of messages while they’re in transit. With shadow redundancy, the deletion of a message from the transport databases is delayed until the transport server verifies that all the next hops for that message have completed. If any of the next hops fail before reporting successful delivery, the message is resubmitted for delivery to the hop that didn’t completeShadow redundancy protects the availability and recoverability of messages while they’re in transit.
