Yes. SyncJe plug-ins are available for multiple mobile devices and PC applications such as
MS Outlook and
Outlook Express.
A bundled SyncJe license package for both
Outlook and your BlackBerry is available at the
top of this page. Please be aware that some servers may not allow synchronization with multiple clients without additional fees. We recommend contacting your server support to ensure this is possible.
Can I sync my email using SyncJe?
SyncJe does not sync emails, because your BlackBerry already has this functionality.
The BlackBerry has revolutionlized the smartphone market, mostly due to its push email capabilities. You can now setup and synchronize up to 10 email accounts on your BlackBerry, including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and Hotmail email accounts.
Premier email services providers, telecom, and cable companies are also bringing the BlackBerry push email to their customers, so chances are very good that whatever email service you use, you can already sync it with your BlackBerry.

What is a SyncML server and why do I need one?
SyncJe for BlackBerry needs to communicate with a SyncML-compatible server for synchronization to work. The SyncML server is "Always On", and acts as a bridge between your BlackBerry, and the computer you want to sync with. It stores the latest updates of your information and makes sure that your BlackBerry and computer are both up to date.
What is SyncML?
SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language), is an industry-wide effort to create a single, common data synchronization protocol optimized for wireless networks. SyncML's goal is to have networked data that support synchronization with any mobile device, and mobile devices that support synchronization with any networked data. The SyncML structured data layer will use XML wherever appropriate. SyncML is intended to work on transport protocols as diverse as HTTP, WSP (part of WAP) and OBEX, and with data formats ranging from personal data (e.g. vCard & vCalendar) to relational data and XML documents.

Which BlackBerry versions and servers will work with SyncJe for BlackBerry?
SyncJe for BlackBerry version 3 has the following requirements:
- BlackBerry OS 4.2.x: MultiSession, and all features of version 2 are fully functional. Due to lack of capability in this BlackBerry OS version, Custom Setup configuration settings will not be installed on these devices. The client will install with all settings fields as blank, instead of the custom settings. All BlackBerry models starting with an 8xxx, which includes all BlackBerry Curve, 8830, and Pearl, fall into this category.
- BlackBerry OS 4.3 or greater: MultiSession, Custom Setup, and all features of version 2 are fully functional. Custom Setup configuration settings will be installed on these devices. Currently, some of the newer BlackBerry Curve and Pearl models, as well as the new BlackBerry Bold (9000) fall into this category. This category will expand with time.

- Oracle Collaboration Suite
