Email Impractical with Q9

I am your run-of-the-mill "E-tard", and even I find this unbelievable!

I set up my email using my Outlook account. Because my business email is very public, I receive over 200 spam emails a day. I have a spam filter on the Outlook account.

Once my email was configured thru the Q auto-sync, I would receive these unwanted spam emails because the emails were pulled from the server, not my inbox. I was told this was the only possible way to do this. My only option was to only allow specific senders thru my VERY LIMITED push preferences.

I have had the q9 for about a week and I am overall pleased with the e-mail. however, I have used a backberry before and I feel that if an email machine is what your after then the bb woud be a better choice for you.

I think you will find the bb is very easy to setup and since your using it as a business phone abd receiving multiple email the bb has a true push system that will suit you better. the filters will most likey work better as well.

I've never used a Blackberry. I thought the Q had "true push" e-mail -- in fact, I usually get my business e-mail on the Q before it hits my PC in box. What's the advantage of the Blackberry? (It does sound like the spam filter is better than Exchange's.)
