Feature	Description

Attachments	You can upload, download, and forward attachments, as well as save attachments to draft email messages. Attachments are also supported in the calendar. You can attach multiple files to an email message, if the files are already stored in the BlackBerry Access secure container. If your administrator allows, you can attach files that are not in the BlackBerry Access secure container. You can securely preview file attachments before you download them and securely view file attachments after they are downloaded. Secure preview and view are supported for Microsoft Word , Microsoft Excel , and Microsoft PowerPoint formats, as well as PDF and common image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP). Note that you cannot copy text or click hyperlinks when you view a preview. The secure preview and view feature does not support password protected files, .csv files, or split pages for Microsoft Excel files (XLS, XLSX). If you have the required license, you can securely edit Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint file attachments and you can annotate pdf files. If you do not see the option to edit these files, you do not have the required SED.SU - Secure Editing of Office Documents (Word, PPT and Excel) license. Contact your administrator if you require this feature.
Search	You can search for local email messages and contacts. You can perform actions, such as replying, forwarding, and updating, from the search results. Auto-complete is supported for searches.

Printing	If your administrator allows it, you can print web pages, pages from web apps (email messages, calendar, contacts), and downloaded files. Click and select Print .
Synchronization	BlackBerry Work synchronizes all email messages, calendar events, contacts, and folders with your work mail server. BlackBerry Work displays a “Sync in progress” notification in the Inbox tab (on the left) when new email messages are received. BlackBerry Work has a Refresh button on the action bar in the email, calendar, and contacts tabs. You can use this option to manually initiate synchronization of email messages, calendar events, and contacts, or send items from the Outbox folder.

Avatars	BlackBerry Work synchronizes user images in email messages and contacts if they exist in the GAL. If no image is available, the user's initials are displayed instead. The color assigned to the avatar is random.
Streaming notifications	Streaming notifications combine the functionality of push and pull notifications. The mail app establishes a notification subscription and the connection remains open for 30 minutes to allow the mail server to push notifications. Webapps uses streaming notifications for synchronizing email messages, calendar events, and contacts. Streaming notifications are standard and supported by EWS. Streaming notifications reduce the load on the Microsoft Exchange Server and improve the overall performance.
Out-of-office notifications	You can configure out-of-office notifications.
Diagnostics menu	You can access a new diagnostics page in the Settings menu to view information about the number of active and inactive tabs (including email, calendar, contacts, and sync), to view status information about tabs, to refresh tabs, and to test the connection with the Microsoft Exchange Server .
Work offline	You can use many BlackBerry Work features while offline. For example, you can draft email messages or create calendar invites that you can send when your Internet connection is restored. Drafted email messages that are sent while you are offline are displayed in the Outbox folder. You can choose to delete or save the email message as a draft from the Outbox folder.
