Setup options for the BlackBerry email address
Depending on your messaging service plan, these options might not be available.
Email account name:
Type a description for your email account. This email account name appears on the Home screen of your BlackBerry® device below the
messages application icon for the BlackBerry email address.
Password:
Change the password for your BlackBerry email address. You use this password when you change options for the email address or need
to validate the email address. If you access the BlackBerry® Internet Service using a user name and password, this does not change your
password for the BlackBerry Internet Service, only for your BlackBerry email address.

Change the secret question that the BlackBerry Internet Service uses to confirm your identity. If you forget the password for your BlackBerry
email address, you must answer your secret question correctly to send your password to your BlackBerry device.
Reply to:
Type an email address that replies are sent to when your contacts reply to your email messages. You can use the Reply to email address
to hide your BlackBerry email address. If you added more than one email address to the BlackBerry Internet Service, you can make email
messages that you send from one email address appear as if you sent them from another email address.
Your name:
Type the display name that you want to appear in the From field of email messages that you send. The display name identifies you as the
sender of an email message in a friendly, informal manner.
Signature:
Type a signature for your email address. Your signature appears at the end of email messages that you send from your BlackBerry device.
