HOT!!! RIM Officially Releases BES 4.1.6 (Service Pack 6)
SanaTizer just sent in a tip that RIM has posted BES 4.1.6 on their website. That means that Service Pack 6 of BES 4.1 is now official! This is a bit of a surprising move to me but hey I won’t complain.
BES 4.1.6 brings:
- HTML email to BES emails by default (no hack needed)
- Support for IBM Lotus Sametime 8.0
- Support for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007
- Controls for new RIM released applications
- Some sort of new Calendar Synchronization tool for BES admins
- And a bunch of other things like renaming services and database changes
If you are a BES admin you can pick up the new service pack at this link. The release notes can be found at this link. Just click on the link that says release notes. 
What did annoy me in the release notes was this one line:
Research In Motion (RIM) plans to discontinue support for the “You were BCC’d” portion of messages as of BlackBerry
Enterprise Server version 5.0
Why would they do that?

Can i install this if I am using BES Express
[...] BES v4.1 Service Pack 6 was released back in the middle of July… What are they doing sending out an email almost 2 months later announcing that it is “available now.” Are we supposed to jump up and down and yell Yippee? Who exactly was RIM trying to target with this email? Any BES admin worth his salt would have heard of the upgrade months ago. Most users would not have a clue what this means. On top of the the top feature “HTML & Rich Text Email” is only available to OS 4.5 devices which are not even officially out for 90% of carriers… [...]
