About logging in using a user name and password
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.
Depending on your wireless service provider, you might be required to provide a user name and password when you access your BlackBerry®
Internet Service account or you might be able to access your account automatically when you open the email setup application or visit the
BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a browser on your BlackBerry device.
If you access your BlackBerry Internet Service account automatically, you can choose to create a user name and password for your account.
When you create a user name and password you can access the BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a browser on your computer. If you
use Microsoft® Outlook® or Microsoft Outlook Express, you can download a utility from the BlackBerry Internet Service web site that can
configure your BlackBerry Internet Service account automatically based on your existing email settings. This utility is only available when you
access the BlackBerry Internet Service web site from a browser on your computer.
You can create a user name and password in the email setup application or on the BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a browser on
your device. After you create a user name and password, you receive a prompt to validate your email addresses by providing the password for
each address. You do not receive email messages on your device until you validate your email addresses.
Create a user name and password for your BlackBerry Internet Service account
Note:
Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
If you access your BlackBerry® Internet Service account using the email setup application or the browser on your BlackBerry® device and you
create a user name and password for your account, you cannot change back to access your account without a user name and password.
If you access your account using a browser on your computer, you already have a user name and password that you use to log in to your
BlackBerry Internet Service account and you do not need to complete this task.
