How the BlackBerry Mail Store Service accesses 
contact information that is stored on the messaging 
server
In a Microsoft Exchange environment, the BlackBerry Mail Store Service can connect to the messaging server and search 
for contact information using MAPI or LDAP. By default, the BlackBerry Mail Store Service uses MAPI to search for contact 
information. If you configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use LDAP to search for contact information, the 
BlackBerry Mail Store Service can also use LDAP to search for contact information.
For more information about how the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses LDAP, visit

Configuring the BlackBerry Mail Store Service instance 
that updates the contact list
The BlackBerry Configuration Database contains your organization's contact list and a list of BlackBerry Enterprise Server 
instances. By default, the BlackBerry Mail Store Service instance that you installed with the first BlackBerry Enterprise 
Server instance that appears in the list updates the contact list. If you prevent the BlackBerry Mail Store Service that you 
installed with the first BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance from updating the contact list, the next available BlackBerry 
Mail Store Service instance in the list updates the contact list.
By default, if you install multiple BlackBerry Mail Store Service instances, each instance can update the contact list in the 
BlackBerry Configuration Database. The first BlackBerry Mail Store Service instance that updates the contact list prevents 
the other instances from also updating the contact list. Each BlackBerry Mail Store Service instance searches for time 
stamp information in the BlackBerry Configuration Database to determine if another BlackBerry Mail Store Service 
instance is updating the contact list already before it starts to update the contact list.
You must verify that at least one BlackBerry Mail Store Service instance can update the contact list in the BlackBerry 
Configuration Database so that the BlackBerry Administration Service can access the latest contact list information when 
you create and manage user accounts. If you prevent all of the BlackBerry Mail Store Service instances from updating the
