When using Outlook 2007 in Cached Exchange Mode users can access their email and can read emails while in an offline mode. But when they try to access additional mailboxes and shared mail folders they note that they are only allowed to do so when the mailboxes and shared mail folder are available only in an online mode. There are some workarounds which will allow them to access additional mailboxes and shared mail folders in the offline mode. Even though shared mail folders cannot be cached users can cache any other shared folder though such as Contacts, Calendar and Public Folders. Additionally, if an administrator has granted full mailbox access to those additional mailboxes, then they could be set up as IMAP accounts.

The decision of the United Arab Emirates to ban BlackBerry email, messenger and web browsing services goes to the heart of the way in which the handheld devices operate – itself a consequence of the mobile market in which they were born. When the first BlackBerry appeared, over a decade ago, mobile phone networks were far more basic than they are today. The most innovative service the majority of users had seen since mobile devices first appeared in the 1980s was the introduction of text messaging. In the US, many mobile users were still making calls on analogue networks, while in Europe the new digital operators were only just introducing data services. But the sorts of speeds possible over networks such as Orange and Cellnet in the UK were pitiful.
