I don't have a Crackbery, but I remember hearing that they are not
actually IMAP or POP clients.  Rather there is an application you run
on your windows/mac that polls your email and then forwards it on. 
This was 6-9 mos ago so it might have changed.  If it hasn't then good
luck running it under Linux, unless the app will run under wine, etc..
