Our company has recently upgraded our server to Windows Server 2012 which run the Exchange Server 2013 to handle our email. This now changes our Outlook web access to Online Web App (OWA) instead of exchange access.
To send and receive emails from out blackberry we used our Outlook Web Access (exchange) however now that we've upgraded our server we can no longer send and receive emails without setting up a forwarding function. That is not a very good system as it won't sync emails properly.
When our IT support company phoned RIM they were not provided with any information on how to resolve this problem and/or when RIM will release an software update for the blackberry so that they are compitable with the new server.
If we don't receive a workable solution or answer soon we will be forced to switch over all our blackberry devices in the office to an Android device.
If anyone has any information or insite on this please let me know ASAP!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Just to set your expectation...this is a user-to-user community, so no one here can answer your question with any level of true authority whatsoever. Your IT folks actually have better "insider" channels into RIM, but I've always found that RIM will never release any forward looking information (e.g., to answer your "when" question) through any channels...just too much chance for issues to arise when they fail to deliver what they released early.
I've not noticed any posts with your specific situation...so it must be relatively new. It is a shame that this information was not discovered before the changeover happened...but there's really nothing to be done about it now (falling back would be equally painful).
Can they set up a POP or IMAP server as a temporary interface for you? That should work fine. Or, if you really want enhanced features on your BBs, you can investigate BES -- and BES-X (BES Express) is actually free!
Good luck!

Hello,
I don't see how using an Android device will make it easier for your users to receive emails... unless you activate IMAP4 or POP3. And in this case, you can use your current BlackBerry fleet.
That being said, please read this past conversation, on the BES board.
