[TriLUG] Blackberry with TriLUG mail?

[William Sutton]

I would have figured specifying the username and password would take care 
of that portion of the authentication process.  I also would have figured 
that configuring TLS on the phone to allow proxies and to use 
mail.trilug.org as a SSL/TLS server would fix that part.  The unsigned 
cert probably doesn't help, but I think the biggest obstacle seembs to be 
my inability to configure the phone to know it has to use TLS, and what 
port to connect to.
