About email address names
On the BlackBerry® Mail web site, the Email account name field displays the name of your BlackBerry email address. You can change the name
of your BlackBerry email address in the Email account name field to make it more meaningful to you.
For example, if your email address is [email protected], you could change the email address name to "Kate Wahl at home."
