Between BerryWeather, BerryBuzz and SmartAlerts the folks at BellShare have been turning out some of the best must-have utility apps for BlackBerry and their latest offering, BerryMail, looks to be another winner. BerryMail allows you to take control of your inbox by allowing rules to be defined which are then automatically applied to incoming emails. BerryMail features include:

  • Create incoming e-mail rules based on
    • Sender address
    • Message subject
    • Message body
    • E-mail account
    • Attachment presence
  • Automatically trigger one of the following actions
    • Delete message
    • Mark message as opened
    • Don't flash LED (compatible with BerryBuzz 2.2 and later)
    • Set high priority message flag
    • Set low priority message flag
  • Create rules right from within your inbox by using an e-mail as the template
  • Create rules right from your address book
  • Backup/restore all rules to/from memory card

For those who lead lives ruled by the email they receive, this is definitely an app worth checking out. It sells for $3.95 but is currently available for only $2.95 until this Sunday via the CrackBerry App Store. A 7-day free trial is available. Give it a go and drop your feedback in the comments!

beside flagging, color marking should be another option

When I first saw the title I was so hoping that there would be the option for it to automatically download images for html mail. Without that it doesn't seem all that great of a product to me.

 
 
Posted by hudss Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

there's an app for that already..show me the images

 
 
Posted by Zannor Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Thanks for point that out. I will check into it.

 
 
Posted by shabazosu Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

I concur; I would definitely purchase the app if it automatically downloaded HTML images.

 
 
Posted by jcarty Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Note: I am developer of Show Me The Images

Show Me The Images handles HTML E-mail messages for you (and soon picture attachments) based on rules as well. It's been out for about a week now with a 1.1 beta going on in the Storm2 forums.

I love the BellShare apps. Maybe they could send a signal to SMTI and I can show it based on rules from BerryMail. That would make both great Super Apps (integration)!

Think about it BellShare. Thanks.

now that's how you price an app... all the other greedy developers should take note.

 
 
Posted by AMGala Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Other than the fact that this should be part of the OS features, this app looks good!

 
 
Posted by Varadigm Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

BellShare makes apps that "should have been part of the OS"

im buying

 
 
Posted by gameboy213 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Or is it the exact same thing?

 
 
Posted by RoninKSB Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

there is at least one major difference between MailMinder and BerryMail. BerryMail has a trial, MailMinder does not.

 
 
Posted by hudss Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

but mail rules by empower seem to have alot more functions for the money.

 
 
Posted by nehajas Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 696 days ago

Mail Rule Manager from Empower contains many more features and is more efficient. Try the free trial and decide yourself.

I bought it, installed it, and I click "Open BerryMail Options" and it just takes me to my phone setting options... Any Idea what I done wrong, or am I missing something? I'm using Bold 9700

 
 
Posted by pfluger Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Make sure you reset your phone by doing a battery pull after installing Berrymail.

 
 
Posted by djkansas80 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Ok, thank you... I totally forgot about doing that... I feel like a dumb ass... lol

Thank you again

 
 
Posted by djkansas80 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

ok did that, and still have no options

 
 
Posted by cbresciani Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

when it takes you to your phone options click on BerryMail, then create your new mail rules. Hope that helps.

 
 
Posted by SenorLoco Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

If you're still not seeing BerryMail on you options screen I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing BerryMail if you haven't already.

 
 
Posted by six4seven Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

This app is pointless.

 
 
Posted by jorGeorge Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Just like your comment.

 
 
Posted by six4seven Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

No, there was a point to my comment, just not to yours'

Just got my mom her first BlackBerry and she is complaining about being notified about every email. I installed BerryMail to test and it allows me to turn off the LED and mark read message from a specific domain, which is exactly what she is looking for. However, there does not seem to be an option to stop the phone from making a noise. Marking email Read and turning off the LED are great, tub having the phone still make a noise makes my buying BerryMail a deal-breaker. Am I missing something?

 
 
Posted by thebrownguy01 Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 696 days ago

you can turn off sounds for specific things by going into your sound profile settings. just go into the emails and change the volume to "Silent"
you can also choose to show or not so an LED in the same menu.

 
 
Posted by robj75 Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 696 days ago

Thanks for the suggestion but that it not what I am talking about.

The scenario:

1. You have an email account (e.g. whatever@gmail.com) where you get lots of different emails from various sources (eBills, forums, friends, family, etc.)

2. You buy a BlackBerry and add your Gmail address to your BlackBerry.

3. Now the 20 or so emails your get to your Gmail address everyday all trigger your BlackBerry to buzz/chime/light up.

4. You decide that you can do without getting your eBill emails and joke emails from your favourite Aunt and your bill statements, so you use some email filter app to say, "any emails from Auntie Deb and AT&T (or of a certain subject), don't light up the LED, don't make any noises, and mark as read." So basically, as far as your BlackBerry is concerned, it never even received it. You don't really care if your BlackBerry goes off for EVERY email BUT you don't want to go to your profile manager and disable alerts for ALL emails.

Also, I wouldn't want a solution where you have to add every email that you don't want to be notified about to my address book and then change each sound profile for those individual addresses. I simply want to say, any emails from sdf@dsfsdfsd.com or just the domain sdfsdf.com, DO NOTHING.

Does this make sense?

If it does it might just be worth the $5.

 
 
Posted by devGOD Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 696 days ago

it's 2.99 not $5

 
 
Posted by PhilipC Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 696 days ago

I'm using mail minder now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the main options missing from BerryMail is the ability to set rules that include notifying me with an audible alert. Mail Minder has this.

 
 
Posted by lraed74 Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 696 days ago

I was hoping this would work on SMS also, o'well - any solutions for that tho?

 
 
Posted by sklotz2000 Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 696 days ago

No FREE copies to give away? Dang!

 
 
Posted by 8900mph Curveball Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 695 days ago

Berrymail takes too long to set rules....Why do I HAVE to name every rule?! I just want press a button and set my rule. Mailminder is quick and easy to use - Much smoother, so for this, I choose Mailminder.

If Mailminder allows more than one action (like berrymail) it would be a 100% out and out winner.

Currently running trial of both but I'm going with mailminder

Unable to get the trial version sent to my email.

 
 
Posted by ostorage Friday, Mar 19, 2010 695 days ago

The feature that would really improve this app for me would be if you could set a rule based on if the email address was not in of your address book. Emails from people/groups that are not in my address book are the ones where it would be really nice to not have my LED flashing from.

I wanted to try BerryMail because I had been looking at spam apps and BerryMail was advertised as working in concert with it's sister app, BerryBuzz which I already have on my Bold 9700. BerryBuzz works great by the way. Upon installing the trial of BerryMail I noticed BerryBuzz stopped working and no longer showed up on the Options menu. It was still listed under the applications but I could no longer access it thru options. My wallpaper also disappeared and my default calendar changed. It took a hard reset, deleting BerryMail thru the application menu and another hard reset to put my 9700 right. I really liked the idea of a good spam filter and Bellshare is a good outfit. I hope they can work out the bugs.
