Goodmail - changing keyboard lock intervals

---

Hi,

I have just installed goodmail top get my work email (as the corporate for some reason is supporting this). I find it very annoying that every 10 minutes it locks itself and forces me to enter a password. So if I need to make a phone call, I have to enter this password to unlock it.

The current preferences in goodmail only allows me to select the timeout interval to be 1, 5 or 10 minutes only.

Is it possible to turn off this locking, or allow the interval to be changed to 99 minutes - by registry hack or something?

Many thanks.

this is controlled by your company at the GOOD Server. Like Blackberry, GOOD has built in a way to apply policies to the handheld. It's a good thing from a corporate IT security perspective, but a bad thing for the, sometimes, over-restricted end-user.

thanks, I suppose from the response that there is no way to get over it. It is very annoying especially when I am forced to set a 6 digit password.

I only need to use a 4 character password and get 30 minutes before the device locks.

When i try and change the keyboard lock interval, I get only three choices - 1, 5 and 10 minutes. I looked at the registry and that has value = 3.

When I set/change the password, I get a message that it must be atleast 6 characters.

I believe this must be the policy set up by the company - I will chase the administrators and find out.

Thanks and regards,
Satinder

Are you sure you can't use your phone without unlocking? I have goodmail and it lets me place and receive calls without unlocking. It tries (and partially succeeds) at blocking me from viewing my contacts, but I can still make calls.
