8820 - can't set up email and web via for local wi-fi use only

I purchased an 8820 from Circuit City about 3 months ago. This was an unlocked phone for use on the AT&T network. I did not want to purchase an data contract with AT&T, I only use AT&T for the phone number and text service. I would like to use the 8820 for email at home (gmail
acct) on my wi-fi network, and also for the internet at home on my wi-fi network.
When I try to set up my email on the blackberry the only option is "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server". There is no home email setup.
Also, the browser won't connect even though I have my wi-fi set up at home. Is it possible to set up my gmail and internet without going through AT&T?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
To use the BB PUSH email, you must subscribe to an adequate data plan. See this FAQ for general guidelines:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
You might be able to use the HotSpot browser to browse via your home WiFi...or you might have to get a separate browser (Bolt, Opera, etc.) that does not depend on BIS. Without a data plan, you will be limited to only web-based services...you will not be able to use any of the proprietary BB services (as per the above FAQ).
Good luck!

How can I recover my Emails and Sent Items for an Accountthat was wiped from my computer?

I had to complete a system restore as my computer failed. This resulted in my account being wiped from the computer, alomg with any files relating to it. I have consequently downloaded Thurderbird again and reinputted my details, whih has resulted in me gaining emails for the past month. However I have not got access to the emails I received for the 6mths prior to that time, any of my sent items, or any of the sub-folders I created and their contents. If anyone has any offerings of help in recovering these I would massively appreciate it!
Thank you,
Ian

what mail provider? can you still access your mail in their web mail? Do you have backups?

Can I set up email templates in Outlook for Mac 2011?

Is there any work around so that I can create and save templates in this program? I've tried searches on various forums looking for a definitive answer, but haven't found a reliable answer.

You may find your answer here, but it would be best to visit the Microsoft help website for this support.

Can't access personal email and therefore can't access internet on 8703e

Hi there, I am having a very large problem, and it will take a while to explain. I spent most of yesterday trying to fix it, but all to no avail. Ok, so I bought a used 8703e BlackBerry on eBay, simply because Verizon is getting rid of their unlimited data plan on July 7 but will grandfather in those who have the plan before that date. Since I only had a regular phone, I needed a smartphone that was capable of having the plan so I could lock in. Unfortunately, I don't upgrade until August, and it would be stupid to buy a real phone before then. Hence, the BlackBerry. Now I activated it ok, and the calls and text messaging work. However, I only have the option to add an Enterprise email account under the setup wizard. I do not have an email setup or email settings icon like everyone says I should. Therefore, I cannot access my service books, and cannot sign the user agreement, and cannot get online. I saw online that this problem might be because it had an IT policy on it. Also, when I called Verizon, they said this was probably the problem. So I went through the steps listed - I upgraded my OS to the beta 4.5, I used the jl_Cmnder, I tried the policy.bin thing. In a way, these actions were successful - they eliminated the firewall that had previously been enabled. But it hasn't changed anything else. I saw that there was an option to create a Blackberry account online so that I could send myself the service books, and I thought that might work now that I disabled the firewall. However, for some stupid reason Verizon won't let you create an account online; it has to be done through the wireless device, which I can't do because I can't access the internet because I can't set up email and agree to the user terms. Ahh! In addition, I have done the Advanced Options - RHT - Register Now thing many times, and it doesn't seem to do anything. I just really need help. Is there a way to manually load the option for personal email on to the device? I think that if I could do that, then I could receive the service books, and all would be well. Thank you for taking the time to read this word vomit, and I anxiously look forward to your response!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
There is no manual way to add the Personal email configuration to a BB. That is 100% pushed by the carrier, when the proper data plan is enabled. But, if the carrier does not natively support that model BB, they most often will not push the SBs. You would have to do some very tedious things to acquire and install the SBs. Using a non-native BB on a carrier network that does not support it natively is very tricky indeed. I suggest you first obtain a commitment from VZW that they will allow your specific device on their network. Next, see if they support it natively; if they do, then go back to them for formal support...you are paying them for this service and they are not delivering it. If they don't natively support your model, then you will have a lot of tedious work to do in order to get it all working.
Good luck!

Can't set up email on my 5800. Kepp getting error ...

I've been trying to set up email on my phone for days now, and I keep getting the same recuring problem.
Just to let you know, my phone has the latest firmware, and the latest version of nokia messaging.
When I try to set up email I go through the whole process, type in my email and then get an error that says "Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again."
This happens no matter what address I try to put in.
Searching for answers on the internet, someone said to sign up at email.nokia.com first.
So I go there enter my phone number and select my device, click next, and then get redirected to a page that says something like "now go to email.nokia.com on your phone browser". No other pages to sign up or enter a password or give my details in any other way!!!
This is so frustrating!!!
What am I doing wrong? Is it a problem with the nokia web site or servers???
Can anyone help???

Yeah, well, I have selected that this is a IMAP account in the e-mail setup also. Tried to connect to my e-mail with POP (as it support POP also over port 110), but no luck. Also, I have to complain on Nokia! I cant download app to my computer and then transfer them to my phone?!? What is up with that? And why does my phone-computer connection die EVERY time the phones screen blacks out (sleeps)?? This actually bricked my phone, had to send it away to get formatted and flashed. Took two weeks. HTC is my next phone...! And every time I connect my phone to the computer, the PC suite says that the PC suite on my phone is to old, press OK to upgrade. So I press OK on my computer, but after a while it says ERROR. But my phone screen says SUCSESS, and I have to reboot my phone. So, when it boots back, and I connect to my computer, it ask for the same thing! FUUUUU I got my phone back with FW 20.00.005, but I still cant get my e-mail to work... What a **bleep** phone! Cant even get my e-mail!

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

How to turn off email and web site links?

I'm making my own letterhead template for my massage business.
I want to turn off the automatic linking to my email address and web site which are both included on my letterhead. It's just annoying that every time I accidentally click on either of those I'm taken to my web site or my computer is trying to email me!
I only snail mail my letterhead and have no use for the linking. I can change the type format so it looks like the rest of the letterhead, but I can't turn off the linking.
Paul

There is an option under Preferences > Auto-Correction to "Automatically detect email and web addresses." You want that one unchecked. There is also a link inspector, second from the right, with options to enable hyperlinks or make all hyperlinks inactive. Seems contradictory to me & I've found that if a document already has some linked text, changing these preferences doesn't change the existing links. And, if you paste in something with a link the link will still be active.

Optimize performance for dedicated email and web use?

Just bought one of the new MBPs. I am now using the G4 as a dedicated workstation with an external monitor exclusively for email and surfing. Email performance is fine, but it takes a long time to load web pages. What can I do to tweak its performance?

Ah, I see you have a lot of catching up, and many questions.
You appear to be running OS10.4.11, which is fine. In the future, upgrades for bugs and security will diminish as Apple phases it out.
OS updates: Have Mac running and connected to the internet. Under the Apple menu, choose "Software Update." This connects to the Apple software servers and determines if you need any Apple software updates on your Mac. Follow instructions and do all updates it tells you about. After doing this, run Software Update again until it says all software is up to date.
Flash and Shockwave are software plug-ins that Adobe makes for your web browser (like Apple's Safari). These plugins are generally used to display animations or video in the browser. They tend to use a lot of CPU power, thus potentially slowing down the computer. You have to go to the Adobe site and check for the latest free versions of these plugins for your computer.
Java and Javascript are programming environments that can work with the OS to display various tricks on web pages, such as drop-down menus. Sometimes they cause security concerns, so the Preferences settings for web browsers allow turning them off or on. When running Safari, under the Safari menu column, choose Preferences..., then in the resulting preferences window, choose the Security tab. There are checkboxes for Web Content for Java, Javascript, plugins and popups. It would be faster and more secure to NOT run these, but you wouldn't see a lot of many web pages. Java is updated from Apple Software Update.
Many other general aspects of your computer affect speed.
-For best speed, you want as much RAM (memory) as the machine can take in your case (probably 2GB on 2 DIMMs IIRC). I run with 1GB however, and fine it adequate for email and web. Under the Apple menu, choose "About this Mac" and the resulting popup tells how much RAM you have.
-You want at least 10% of the space on the hard drive to be free - it's used for virtual memory when real memory runs low. Click once on the icon of the main hard drive, usually named, "Macintosh HD." Then under the FILE menu, choose "Get Info." The resulting popup describes, among other things, the total capacity of the drive, how much is available, and how much has already been used.
-For speed, you should also run from AC power pack. There are some settings in System Preferences/Energy Saver that can reduce CPU speed during battery operation.
-You should avoid running any software that steals CPU power. There should be no need to run tricky software for just email and web, so getting rid of all non-essential software should help. How to check everything is beyond the scope of this post.
-Check the speed of your internet connection. There are several free, online net speed testers. Note, they usually use either Flash or Java/Javascript! one is http://www.speedtest.net Note that the speed will varying depending on time of day, location of test endpoint, and a zillion other factors.
-The Powerbook G4 is getting old and slow compared to the latest machines. I just got the New York Times homepage in about 5 seconds on my Powerbook G4 (ethernet, cleared Safari cache and history first). On a MacPro dual 3GHz Intel Xenon, it's maybe half that time. There are many factors you have no control over. On many web pages, advertising forms a lot of the page, and those ads come from other servers, often slowing down the page. I avoid even trying to play Flash videos on the G4.
You could have other problems, too, hardware or software. Sometimes, it just pays to buy a newer model.

Requirement to have email and web service.

I have Verizon wireless and they are telling me that I am required to have the email and web service on the Blackberry and I was also told that I needed for the operation of the phone to operate as a regular phone. Is this true? I wanted them to take off the email and web service until I could get another job because I can't afford the 30.00 dollars per month but sill have the phone use as a regular phone. I was wondering if it is Blackberry or Verizon that is requiring this.

It is Verizon requiring that. You are using their network, and they have a right to require what they wish while you use their network.

If you have Free sites with creative cloud, then these sites do not allow you to host your email with BC. You can either upgrade your website to higher site plan, or chose one of the alternative email host, given in the following link

My sister and I share an itunes account so she can click on my email and receive my imessages how can I make sure this stops happening?

One of you needs to use a separate Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage.
The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Then on one of the phones, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.
