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 your 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, 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:
•
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 email addresses
When you add an existing email address, 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.
