Research In Motion (RIM) is to mobile e-mail what the late Heath Ledger is to fictional super-villians. In fact, RIM's known throughout the smartphone space as the clear leader in e-mail management, and that's due in no small part to its industry-leading "push" e-mail technology. Push delivers messages to users' BlackBerry inboxes almost instantaneously after they hit corporate or personal mail servers, as opposed to fetching messages at pre-set intervals.
But RIM's impressive reputation can also be attributed to the wide range of desktop-e-mail-like features it provides, including the ability to create and assign unique bits of text, or signatures, to e-mail boxes, so that text can be distributed along with every message sent.
E-mail signatures appear at the end of messages, and they commonly include the sender's name, address and relevant contact information. But you can also employ signatures to send a message--"I'll be away all next week, so get in touch today if you need me," for example--or as a warning that you're using a BlackBerry, and as such, your messages could have an inordinate amount of typos.
