add a supported email address, create a BlackBerry email address, or do both.
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, you might not be able to add email addresses or create a BlackBerry® email address for
your BlackBerry device.
You might want to add an email address if you have an existing supported email account that you want to access from your BlackBerry device
or BlackBerry enabled device.
You might want to create a BlackBerry email address if you do not have another existing, supported email account or if you need an additional
email address that you can use to send and receive email messages.

Setting up existing email addresses
Email address basics
About adding email addresses
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, you might not be able to add email addresses or create a BlackBerry® email address for
your BlackBerry device.
When you add a supported email address to the BlackBerry® Internet Service, the BlackBerry Internet Service creates a link between the
BlackBerry Internet Service and the email account that is associated with the email address that you add.
This link enables you to send and receive email messages on your BlackBerry device using the integrated email address. With the BlackBerry
Internet Service, you can add up to ten supported email addresses and you can create one BlackBerry email address. If you add email addresses
for more than one email account to the BlackBerry Internet Service, you can access all of your email messages in the messages application on
your device.
Email messages continue to be delivered to the existing email account as they were before you added the email address to the BlackBerry
Internet Service.
You can add email addresses that are associated with the following email account types to the BlackBerry Internet Service:
• email accounts that you access through your Internet service provider
• POP or IMAP email accounts that you access through your Internet service provider
• email accounts that use a Microsoft® Exchange server that you access using Microsoft® Outlook® Web Access
Note: Depending on your Internet service provider, you might not be able to add email addresses that are associated with certain email account
types. For more information, contact your Internet service provider.
Note: Not all devices with BlackBerry® Connect™ software support more than one email address.
About user names for integrated email addresses
Your user name might take one of the following formats:
•login ID: The login ID is the part of the email address before the at sign (@), for example, justinjones in
[email protected]. In some cases, this login ID could be the login name that you use to log in to your organization's
network.
•network domain name and login ID: If you work for an organization that uses more than one network domain, the user name might use
the format domain\username. For example, if the email address is [email protected] and the domain is domain 1, then the
login ID is justinjones, and the network domain name and login ID is domain1\justinjones.
About email message storage
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
User Guide Setting up existing email addresses

The BlackBerry® Internet Service stores your email messages that are larger than 4KB on the BlackBerry Internet Service server for 30 days.
After 30 days, the BlackBerry Internet Service deletes the email messages from the BlackBerry Internet Service server. The email messages
remain on your BlackBerry device, but you cannot reply to or forward these email messages.
To reply to or forward email messages, if you have another email account, you can set your BlackBerry email address to automatically forward
a copy of email messages that you send from or receive on your device to another email address. For information about how long your email
service provider's server stores email messages, contact your email service provider.
About wireless email reconciliation
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
Email messages that you open or delete on your BlackBerry® device might be marked automatically as opened or marked automatically as
deletedin your integrated email account.Generally, changes thatyou make toemail messages inyour integrated emailaccount are notreflected
on your device.
If you add an email address to the BlackBerry® Internet Service and delete an email message from your email account inbox, the change is
reflected on your device. If you turn off wireless email reconciliation on your device, deleted email messages do not synchronize between your
device and your integrated email account.
If you have a Microsoft® Outlook® Web Access work email account, an IMAP email account, or an Windows Live™ Hotmail® email account,
email messages that you send from your device are copied to the sent items folder in your email account. Likewise, email messages that you
delete are copied to the deleted items folder (except for Windows Live Hotmail).
Note: Depending on your type of integrated email account or email account setup, wireless email reconciliation might not be available for
your device.
If you have a work email account that uses Microsoft Outlook Web Access version 5.5, email messages that you send from your device are not
copied to the sent items folder in your email account.
Depending on your wireless service provider, wireless email reconciliation for the sent items folder on your device might not be available for
your Windows Live Hotmail email account.

Troubleshooting
I cannot open email messages from my email account using my device
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
The email message you are trying to open might be too large. Email messages that the BlackBerry® Internet Service retrieves from supported
email applications cannot exceed 5 MB.
Using a browser on your computer or the email application on your computer, log in to your email address and open the email message.
I cannot add an email address to the BlackBerry Internet Service
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, you might not be able to add email addresses or create a BlackBerry® email address for
your BlackBerry device.
You must use a browser on your computer to add some types of email addresses to your BlackBerry® Internet Service account. If you access
your BlackBerry Internet Service account automatically each time you open the email setup application on your BlackBerry device or visit the
BlackBerry Internet Service web site, you must create a user name and password for your BlackBerry Internet Service account to log in to the
BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a browser on your computer.
The BlackBerry Internet Service supports the most common types of email accounts and access options. However, there may be some situations
that can prevent you from setting up your email account with the BlackBerry Internet Service.
Try performing the following actions:
• Verify that you have provided the correct information for your email account.
•Verify if your email service provider only allows you to access your email account using a browser on a computer, which might prevent
you from adding your email address.
• Verify if your email service provider requires you to subscribe to a premium email account to set up your email account with the
BlackBerry Internet Service.
• Verify if your email service provider requires you to turn on client access (for example, POP) to set up your email account with the
BlackBerry Internet Service.
For more information, contact your email service provider.

BlackBerry email address basics
About the BlackBerry email address
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
You can create a BlackBerry® email address that you can use to send and receive email messages on your BlackBerry device. You can only
access the email messages that are sent to your BlackBerry email address using your device. You cannot read these email messages using a
computer.
You might want to create a BlackBerry email address in the following situations:
• You do not have an existing email account that you want to access using your device.
• You added email addresses for existing email accounts to the BlackBerry® Internet Service, but you want an additional email address.
If you are a BlackBerry Internet Service Email subscriber, when you create your BlackBerry email address, you can specify a user name for your
email address. The BlackBerry Internet Service uses your user name to create the part of the email address before the at sign (@) (for example,
justinjones in [email protected]). To change your user name, you must delete your BlackBerry email address and create a new one.
If you are a BlackBerry® Mail subscriber and you access your BlackBerry Mail account automatically each time you open the email setup
application on your BlackBerry device or visit the BlackBerry Mail web site, the first time that you access your BlackBerry Mail account, you
specify a user name for your BlackBerry email address.
If you are a BlackBerry Mail subscriber and you access your BlackBerry Mail account using a user name and password, the first time that you
log in to BlackBerry Mail, you specify a user name for your BlackBerry Mail account. BlackBerry Mail uses your user name to create the part of
the BlackBerry email address before the at sign (@) (for example, justinjones in [email protected]).
Note: You can only have one BlackBerry email address that is associated with your BlackBerry Internet Service account and your device at
one time.

For more information about setting up or stopping email message forwarding, see the online help in your email account or contact your email
service provider.
If you use an email application on your computer (such as Microsoft® Outlook®, Microsoft® Outlook® Express, or Apple Mail) to access another
email address and your computer is always turned on and has a constant connection to the Internet, you might be able to set up your email
application to forward incoming email messages to your BlackBerry email address. For example, to set up email message forwarding in Microsoft
Outlook, you can create a forwarding rule for email messages. For more information, see the online help in your email application or contact
your administrator.
