So about that Nextcloud thing. I've moved to an offline sync strategy. I can sync my Bold 9900 to Outlook (and my work MS exchange account) via BlackBerry Desktop Manager over bluetooth (my work laptop runs Windows 10). But I didn't want to sync _everything_ to my work account, and so I was searching around for a solution to that problem, when I found a page that explains how to create a completely offline Outlook account[1]. The nice thing is, once you have a secondary offline account set up, BlackBerry Desktop Manager allows you to choose to sync some stuff with the online Work account and some stuff with the offline account. So I'm syncing my calendar with my work account. My contacts, notes, and tasks sync with the offline account, because they're none of my employer's business. When I change computers, I can just copy the offline account's .pst file over to the new computer and continue on (as long as BlackBerry Desktop Manager keeps working on Windows 10). Until my carrier kills 3G (probably a few years away), this is how I'm going to continue. I've had it with storing my non-work personal information online. Now if I could just make BlackBerry Desktop make that cool Palm sync sound when it runs :P [1] https://www.msoutlook.info/question/using-outlook-without-an-email-account
