Some types of email addresses, including Google Mail™ addresses and Yahoo!® addresses, allow you to synchronize contacts between your
email account and your BlackBerry device. If you turn on contact synchronization for an email address, you can add, change, and delete contacts
from your device or from your email account, and the BlackBerry Internet Service synchronizes the changes between your device and your email
account.
If you synchronize contacts with multiple email accounts, including an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, the contacts
application on your device will contain contacts from all synchronized email accounts. However, you cannot synchronize contacts between
different email accounts.
To synchronize contacts, you must use the email setup application on your device or log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a
browser on your computer. You cannot synchronize contacts if you access your BlackBerry Internet Service account from a browser on your
device.
