My company is Using Lotus notes along with BB. All synchronisation is handled via RIM protocol (Mail, Contacts, Calendar). Personal I added Notes Journal to synchronize with BB Notes. This cannot be performed via RIM Protocol, so I use Desktop Manager to synchronize both Applications which works fine.
Now each time i startup Desktop Manager it prompts me for the Blackberry Server. It is not allowed in my company to connect Desktop Manager with a Blackberry Server, so how do i get rid of this prompt and the connection try?
The synchronization with my local Notes installation for Journal works fine, so how can i disable that desktop Manager wants to connect to a Blackberry Server each time its launched.

Exactly, can’t believe how much BB advertising I see on da teevee. I really like the Pocket Express horoscopes man. Don’t laugh. I plan my day around them. Who to avoid, who to cozy up to.
