Curve 9330 cant setup gmail?

hello. new to the form. i just picked up curve 9330 for my son. i'm trying to set it up for him. so far, facebook, youtube, yahoo mail all works just fine. the only problem im running into is setting up his gmail account. username and password is all correct, but i still get the error saying, incorrect username or password. if it still doesnt work, contact gmail. i know its not google because when using the browser on the curve to use gmail, it works just fine. any ideas?

The way legacy BBs work is totally different from other devices. Legacy BBs do not, for example, have a full on-device email client, and must have a proper BB-level data plan from the carrier in order to do email (as well as a variety of other BB proprietary services). That's just the way that legacy BBs work.
By contrast, the newer BB10 devices do not need a BB-specific data plan, and can do everything with a generic data plan just like other non-BB devices.
The fact that a BB-specific data plan costs more than a generic one is driven by two things...1) the fact that BBs require infrastructure, hosted at the carriers and BB, to support them and 2) different market conditions in different regions (some places in the world a BB-level data plan does not cost more but is still required, but in other parts of the world the carriers charge more for it).
The nice thing about our free market is that there is a plethora of choices for everyone, so hopefully each person can find something that meets their individual set of needs, desires, and tolerance levels. The key is to, before purchasing, educate oneself on the full impact of any decision...and thereby decide according to what best meets their needs. From what you say, you perhaps did not fully research before plunging into that purchase, and only now are learning the cascading requirements from that decision.
Good luck!

Issues with my Curve 9330

Let me start by saying I have been searching for an answer to my questions for a while both here and other places and I haven't found much. I am new to the world of Blackberry so forgive me if I screw something up here.
The first problem that I am having is with email. I have a gmail account and my emails used to delete off the phone when I deleted them from the computer at gmail.com. Now they stay forever and I have to delete them off the phone too. I don't know what happened to cause the issue. I did upgrade to the new OS6 but was having some issues with that too and reverted back to OS5. I did have the email issue with OS6 also but not before I upgraded. The other issue I was having with OS6 was the cursor would just move itself without any input from me. It would always move down and to the right. I did like OS6 for the most part but couldn't deal with the cursor issue and email issue. I thought when I reverted back to OS5 that the email issue would be fixed but it was not. I have tried deleting the account and adding it back and that dont work. I have tried to download the gmail plugin again and I can't download it I get an error. I just don't know what to do with this to fix it. Any help is appreciated.

Hi neechie1992,
Welcome to the Support Community!
Please try connecting your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9330 smartphone to a computer without the battery inserted and trying to reload the BlackBerry® Device Software. Once the software load has already started, reinsert the battery. For further instructions, please see: How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader. www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10144
This process will remove all data from your BlackBerry Curve smartphone. Since it is not detected by your computer, you will not be able to backup your data first, but if you have a previously taken backup file, you can restore your data from that backup.

9330 Email Setup Issues

I have a friend of mine that just got a Curve 9330 through US Cellular. They have the BB Data plan, we can setup a person email account with the live.com email they have. But when we try to set up a "blackberry.com" phone specific email i keep getting; "Unable to add account.Please check your information and try again". I have tried every combination of user names and passwords i can think of. I am working on my last nerve. It is running OS6. Can anyone help?

I don't know why your email would suddenly stop working but your cell carrier should have a self-serve BIS site from which you can add, delete and edit all email accounts on your BlackBerry phone.
If you can't get the email setup wizard to work, call Optus to gain access to the self-serve BIS site.

Business email on Blackberry Curve 9330

I had both my business and personal email set up on my Curve 9330, then Verizon messed up my account and that deleted both emails. When I got the account straightened out I could set up my personal gmail address but I can't set up my business address. Our business addresses go through gmail but have the corporate .com address. It isn't an enterprise server. I can't figure out why putting in the email and password won't work

Hi annk,
Welcome to the Support Community!
Are you receiving an incorrect password error? Are you able to sign into webmail from a computer? If you are able to sign into webmail, please try the following steps to unlock your Gmail® CAPTCHA.
Close the email application that is being used to read Gmail account messages.
From the computer where the POP or IMAP logins are failing, visit https://www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/UnlockCaptcha, where yourdomain.com is the domain name.
In the Username field, type the user name.
In the Password field, type the password.
Click Unlock.
Try integrating the email account again.
Hope this helps.

How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

I'm using gmail. Prompt respond for mails is very urgent for me.
How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

I switched from a BB to an iPhone a few days ago and I knew I was going to miss the QWERTY keyboard but then I also discovered that my GMail doesn't 'push' to my iPhone. I was used to 'push' for all mail accounts on the BB. I also missed being able to personalize text, email, and phone tones for individuals.
I tried the Gmail app for iOS and it does deliver Gmail to the iPhone app quickly but the text is tiny and when it is a web page it's almost impossible to read.
So, I have worked out a kludge to get around these problems.
I added my exisiting Gmail account to the iPhone.
Hotmail does push to iOS 7 so I created a Outlook account (could be hotmail or Live) using the web browser.
I added the hotmail account to the iPhone. I basically use this to give fast notification of important emails on my iPhone.
On my macbook email client I created a rule that 'redirects' incoming mail to the hotmail account. The 'Redirect' is important since the email will show up in the hotmail account on the iPhone as coming from the original sender and you can then respond to the original sender from the iPhone, though the sender will see it as coming from the hotmail account.
The other downside is that you will get a second copy of the email in the gmail inbox on the iPhone, probably 15 minutes later.
If you don't want all of the mail being redirected you can create a 'redirect' group in the Address book and then adjust the rule in Apple mail to only redirect the mail to the hotmail account if the sender is in the redirect group. You can add and delete contacts from this group depending upon which ones you consider to be important. You will still get two copies of the email on the iPhone, one in the hotmail inbox and one in the gmail inbox.
You can prevent this from happening temporarily by turning off, but not deleting, the gmail account on the iPhone. You could then edit the emails on the Apple email client before turning the gmail back on in the iPhone.
And finally if you use the VIP feature in email on the iPhone you can create a list of VIP contacts and then assign a different notification sound for the VIP's. So in effect important contacts mail will be redirect to the iPhone for quick notification and very, very important contacts will have a different notification sound.
I'm basically using the Hotmail account as a notification tool and basically delete all the emails in it since the original copy will be in the gmail account.
And best of all it's all free, except for the bandwidth.

Cannot setup gmail exchange account on new iphone 5, says "Cannot Get Mail"

Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't add one of my gmail accounts.
It's my business domain which is hosted with GMAIL. It worked before the upgrade. Now adding the email address in 'internet accounts setup' I get the message "Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "
Mail will not let me setup an email account directly in mail either.
There seems to be major problems with mail in this update.
Also SMTP keeps failing.
Yosemite is a disaster.

Try this. I saw this solution elsewhere on the boards here.
When setting up a business gmail account, something other than @gmail.com, when you try to add the account in Mail preferences, don't select Google as the account type. Choose, "Other." Fill out the name, email and password as usual. Worked great for me after having similar issues trying to get my business gmail account to work in Yosemite.

Curve 9330 Cannot Delete Internet Email

I stupidly upgraded my BB last night and subsequently lost all of the unique Internet e-mail folders I had created. When I attempted to go into Settings > Email Accounts > Internet Mail Account the system begins checking for updates. I then see each of the e-mails that I previously set up. I try to enter the current password and verify/activate but BB never does it successfully. I cannot delete the accounts nor can I set up the account as new. I am stuck. I cannot wait to get rid of my BB but until then I need some assistance on how to get rid of the old instances and recreate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello lhatchell,
We suggest that you contact your wireless service provider to verify your service plan regarding the issue you are experiencing with accessing your Internet email on your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9330 smartphone.
Thank you.
