Hi,

This issue can be caused by the BES configuration or the version you have running (BES 4.1 with SP3 and MR3 is recommended). The most common cause it that your device it trying to download the attachment as this is failing. As a test please click on an attachment and select "Download Attachment" and try and save it to the Media Card's Documents folder. If this fails repeat the process and save it to the Device Memory documents folder. Let us know the result of this test but also ensure you try the "View" option instead of "Edit with Documents to Go".

Thanks,

Gary

How did you setup your email on the BlackBerry? Also on your PC can you go to "Programs > BlackBerry" and do you have a Redirector icon?

I have just double checked with RIM and they have confirmed that the BlackBerry Internet Service currently only supports the following attachments:

Microsoft® Word (DOC)
Microsoft Excel® (XLS)
Microsoft PowerPoint® (PPT)
Corel® WordPerfect® (WPD)
Adobe® Acrobat® PDF (PDF)
ASCII text (TXT)
Rich Text Format files (RTF)
Zip archive (ZIP)
HTML
MP3
JPG
BMP
GIF
PNG
