Squirrel Mail on blackberry and HTML messages

Hi, This is not my strongest area so please be patient Embarrassed
I get all my Email into Outlook 2003 on my home PC and have it set to leave messages on the server for 20 days so I can still see them through webmail when I'm not at home. This works OK when I use my laptop away from home but the messages all display as plain text making html messages a bit difficult to read. Is there a way to get these to display as HTML.It doesn't work OK when I try and access https://webmail.plus.net on my blackberry browser. The Blackberry is a work device and occassional personal internet use is allowed but associating my home email account isn't.
I get HTTP Error 400 bad request.
So is there a way to access squirrel mail / webmail on a blackberry browser?
Any help gratefully received even if its don't bother its not possible"
Thanks

I don't think it is possible TBH. People have reported issues with it in the past.
You could try using Mail2Web which I think renders HTML emails. You need to login as follows though:
Username: <username>@<server_address>
Password: <mailbox_password>
So if your mailbox username is 'dave', you'd log in using dave@mail.plus.net and the password for that mailbox.
Failing that, there's probably a way to set up your Blackberry so that it retrieves your email directly using either POP3 or IMAP. I've not had a great deal of experience with Blackberrys though so somebody else would probably be better positioned to help you with this...

Re: Squirrel Mail on blackberry and HTML messages

Is the Blackberry provisioned for Blackberry Enterprise Service, known as BES, and /or BIS,
Blackberry Internet Service.
Mine is a work one and  I have both services provisioned, so Outlook mail & diary sync via the BES,
& via Phone providers website you can set up for POP3 e mails to come to your Blackberry.
You can choose to then delete just on Blackberry or on your ISP too; with Outlook e mails, you can't delete from
the Desktop ; do that when you next log on with your laptop.
If you're on Vodafone see my post:

Other phone companies, have equivalent sites;
