There is no ability to actually manage the device. The beauty of LANDesk Policy Management. :-| Charissa: Excellent suggestion. It was there that I also discovered the native ability of the device to download MP3s and save them to the ringtone directory. I now have my all-too familiar <i>24</i> ringtone.

If you have a microSD slot you should be able to put them there and use them from the memory card as well. I don't think there's an every 5 email messages alert trick, at least not without other software. You could cheat it a little by making some messages level 1 and only alerting for those. If you could figure out a way to send a special message every 5 messages you get, you could do that.
