Setting up for email using the BlackBerry Internet Service
You can set up for email using a web browser on
your BlackBerry device or on a computer.
To set up for email, you must create a login ID and
password. The first time that you log in to the
BlackBerry Internet Service web site, you can add
a supported email address, create a BlackBerry
email address, or do both.
•
Add an email address if you have an existing,
supported email account that you want to
access from your BlackBerry device.
•
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.
Note:
If you are adding a work email address, you
might need to use a computer to add the address.
See "About adding an email address" on page 10
for more information.
