Configure PERSONAL email account

I wanted to configure my personal email account, but all I get on my BB, when I enter the set up wizard (besides from bluethooth, wifi) is the email set up wizard for a work email account. (whilst, if I look to the help menu online, there you get two possibilities).
How come?

Do you have a Blackberry Data Plan on your account rather than the a Standard Carrier Data Plan?

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device, and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider. How do I end this?

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device (swtched from Droid to iPhone) and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider, and not by Gmail. How do I end ûVerizon's forwarding my personal email to SMS?
Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something but how can Verizon have control over your personal GMail account? Sounds like you do have your email set up to forward to sms.
I have certain emails that are forwarded to me as SMS but that is an option that is enabled on the email side of things and is independent from Verizon.

Can't create a personal email account on my Blackberry Curve 8520.

I cannot create an personal email account on my Blackberry Curve 8520. I’ve already followed some of the instructions from this forum and on the main website of Blackberry but still can’t create an email account for my phone.
These are the steps I’m doing when I’m trying to create and email.
From the home screen, go to Setup.
Click Setup Wizard.
Click Email Setup.
But when I’m in the email setup, the only option I have is the “I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.
I don’t have the option of “I want to create or add an email address”.
Now, how can I create a personal email account on my phone?
I hope somebody can help me in my problem.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
Good luck!

Is it possible to set up personal email accounts on iPhone5?

Can iPhone 5 handle two different personal email accounts (as well as gmail etc)? I have two personal domain names, each with its own email address. My Air handles all this fine. But my new iPhone5 is a problem. One account is OK but the other rejects all settings by saying they are incorrect. Two visits to a genius bar have failed to solve the problem.
Is there a hosting company that specialises in iOS and could provide advice?

I've spoken to them 4-5 times and emailed a print out of my Air settings. They say the settings are fine. The genius guys also agree the phone settings follow the Air settings. I suspect there is some little thing, or maybe some forwardings, that are screwing it up.

I can't set up my personal email account

Hi! am hoping someone might be able to help. My storm was delivered this morning and I have been unable to set up my personal email accounts through the setup wizard. I only have the option to set up a work email account using a Blackberry Enterprise server and NOT add or create an account.
I've already completed the suggestions of a previous post
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=9500&thread.id=483
i.e. setting up mailing account with vodafone and trying to activate on the wireless network but nothing seems to work. Am I just being too impatient?? Do I have to wait for activation? Or am I just stupid?!?!?
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Rick you need to call them and let them know you have a new BlackBerry and have them register the PIN and IMEI number on your account, and re-establish the BIS account to your SIM.

8700 series - How to configure POP3 email accounts

I do not get the option to configure internet email. I just have the option to configure the email account with the BES Enterprise server. Please advise how do I get the option to configure gmail or yahoo account
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If that is the only email option you have, then your account with your carrier does not contain what is needed to use their BlackBerry Internet Service -- that service, which they control, is what provides the bridge between your BB and internet facing email systems. Contact your carrier and ask them what you need to do with them in order to provide you the services you desire.
Good luck and let us know!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Adding a personal email account

I'm trying to add a personal email account to my BlackBerry but keep getting the message "At this time your email, calendar and contacts accounts can't be added - please try again later". With my previous BlackBerry (which was the same model) I just added the email address and password and that was it. Can anyone help?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to appear2) RebootBB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process.IF this fails, you can attempt the more forceful method of holding the up/down volume keys until the device fully shuts down. Wait a bit and them power up normally.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try other email accounts so as to determine if it's just this one account that is the problem. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Syncing contacts between work and personal email accounts

Device:
Model: Apple iPhone 5s
Storage: 16GB
OS: iOS 8.1.2
User has multiple email accounts (both work and personal) on the iPhone 5s. How does a user manage adding personal contacts to iPhone without personal contacts syncing to a work email account contacts list?
Issue: User adds personal contacts to their iPhone and those contacts are now showing in their MS Exchange work email contacts list.
Troubleshooting: User went into individual personal contacts that were synced to MS Exchange work email contacts list- selected name- scrolled down to
"Linked Contacts"- selected Exchange (with name of contact)- selected edit- scrolled down to delete contact. This seemed to remove the contacts instantaneously.
Also
Went into Settings-Mail Contacts and Calendar- Scrolled down to Contacts- set Default Account to personal email account. Tested adding a personal contact and this did not seem to sync up to the Exchange email contact list.
Is there any other way that would prevent personal and work contacts from merging when a user uses the same device to manage both accounts?

When you go into Contacts - you should see two groups - work and personal
If you uncheck the work group - you will be left with the personal contacts to which you should be able to add

How to configure multiple email accounts (not aliases) in Thunderbird?

Hi,
I have my own personal Oracle email account and 2 other Oracle email accounts that I own (these are accounts used for our team's customer newsletters).
I previously used Thunderbird for all 3 accounts with no problem. Now, I can no longer get mail for the 2 newsletter accounts. I have tried changing the sever to: stbeehive.oracle.com and entering my existing password but that does not work.
Should I run the Beehive config assistant and enter the account information for each of my 2 email accounts which are not yet working on beehive?
If not that, how do I get these other email address accounts configured in Thunderbird? I need to be able to send and receive emails.
Thanks,
Catherine

How can I use multiple ipad's on one account without sharing individuals personal email accounts?

Is it possible to have multiple ipads on one account and share info, but also allow the individual users to have personal email that is not seen on the other ipad's? We have all ipads on same icloud account because we all need to see the same ical. It seems like that's the problem. If it IS related to icloud then if we have separate icloud accounts, how would we share the main ical otherwise? Sharing the ical is very important for this business so everyone can access the daily schedule. Of course each user still wants to have private email.
Hope this wasn't too confusing!
Thanks!
Doreen

you could set up the main icloud itunes acount for ical and not have in setup on the devices
and share the calandar with the other itunes accounts on the devices
or only have it on one device
devices have the users indervidual itunes icloud setup
they should be able to access the shared "main" itunes icloud ical account once it's shared
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57542557-285/three-methods-for-sharing-an-ic loud-calendar/
if the devices are company owned you could go futher and setup find my iphone on the main itunes account
and not on the user icloud accounts

Can't set up personal email account

My setup wizard doesn't not have a personal email set up option. I do not have the seperate email icon. I've spoken to Rogers support and they say my IMEI number is locked with another carrier. I don't know who the carrier is because this is a used unlocked BB. Also tried to resend service books a couple of times but that didn't seem to work. Anyone can help? Thanks

Hiya!
Those sound like 2 separate issues really. if its unlocked... its not locked to a carrier
But the reason why you would not have a personal email option is because your device isnt registered on the BIS network. Do you know if you have a Blackberry data plan with Rogers?
If you are 100% sure you do. go here
http://rogers.blackberry.com
and login/register
try and setup your personal email there. if you cannot. you dont have the plan on your account
