Email Help (Don't Know User Name)

Hey Guys,
When I purchased my Tour (9630) phone, the good people @ Futureshop helped me setup my "Gmail" email on it. It worked great until recently when I had to change my "Gmail" Password, and now I no longer receive "Gmail" emails on my phone.
I searched and found out how to update the password on my phone, but it is asking for a User Name & Password. For the life of me I can't think of what the User Name is. I tried a couple different user names and tried the "Forgot Password" link but never got any response. Is there any other way to find out what your user name might be? I tried setting up a new user name but it says there is already one registered to my pin.
I searched for a similar post on the forums, but didn't find anything.
Thanks to anyone who responds,
Sean M

The BIS credentials do not always exist. The BIS account is what stores all of your email credentials so that BIS can check your email servers and then push to your BB what is needed. The BIS accounts are managed by the carriers -- not by RIM directly. Some carriers always create BIS credentials...others do not. Technically, the BIS credentials are not needed if you only access the Email Setup via the device -- since you are accessing from the device, it knows who you are. But, the carriers also host web-based access to their BIS, at which time BIS credentials must be created so as to enable their BIS system to identify you and show you your BIS information. Once credentials are created, they are thereafter required on the device as well...but it has a "remember me" check box so you only have to enter those credentials on the BB once.
Hope that helps!

  • Don't know the name of it but a toolbar at the top of the window has disappeared after I restarted Firefox. It contained add-ons such as Download Helper and I don't know how to get it back. Please help. Thanks!

    I don't know the name of it but a toolbar at the top of the window has disappeared after I restarted Firefox. It contained add-ons such as Download Helper and I don't know how to get it back. Please help. Thanks!
    EDIT: Sorry I meant the "Save Complete" add-on, not Download Helper.

    Be sure "Add-on Bar" is checked (click on "Add-on Bar" to check or un-check)

  • When trying to send photos using iphoto  a window comes up and says that email server did'nt recognize user name /password ...what do i do to correct this please  marie

    Hi Cody\'sgirl,
    If you are having issues emailing photos directly from iPhoto, you may want to double check the email account information that is set in iPhoto. You may find the following article helpful (the section below is about setting up a new account, but it should be the same location to check existing account info):
    To set up a Photo Mail account:
    Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
    Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
    Click Email, and then click Add.
    Choose your email service provider.If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
    Type the requested information.If you use the Mail application included with OS X, some account information might be filled in already. If you’re not sure what to type, contact your service provider.
    You can set up more than one Photo Mail account by repeating these steps for each account. When you send an email, you can change the outgoing account by clicking the From pop-up menu and choosing an account.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • How to remove the panel right to the code? (don't know its name...)

    Hi everybody,
    I've searched in the options but couldn't find the solution to it.
    I don't have a lot of space on my monitor and I'm trying to keep only the windows I find the use in my Eclipse setting.
    Currently, there's the panel on the right of my code, which shows where I am in my file, with gray lines. I don't use it so I'd prefer to remove it.
    A picture is better than words since I don't know the name of this panel:

    How do I remove this panel?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

  • HT5312 I can't remember the answers to my security questions.  How do I get them.  I've built a rescue email but don't know how to have the answers sent to it.

    How do I get iTune to send me the answers to my security questions or how to reset them.  I do have a rescue email address but don't know how to have the answers sent to it.

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
        a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
        b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
            and service.
    3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.

  • HELP!! My User-Name isn't working. I'm locked out of editing my settings :(

    I tried going into my Time Machine setting to change them and it prompted me to log in "as an administrator" to make changes. It says "Type an administrators name and password to make changes". I didn't know what this meant because usually my name is already in the "Name" field and all I have to do is put in my password. Now, both fields are blank, and when I fill in the name and password fields, it doesn't work. I don't know why. I'm sure the password is right but I I don't know how to determine the correct user name since mine doesn't work : (
    Please help me.

    Reset the password. Info here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156

  • How do I change my icloud email when don't know the old password after I have changed my apple ID email address and the password? icloud is still online with my old email address!!!

    I got a new phone but backed it up through my itunes, and when I tried to use icloud it kept telling me I have forgotten my password, when I really really didn't. So I went to settings > itunes&appstore and changed my password, but also changed the email address too while I was at it, since I've always wanted to change it. But now here's the problem. My iphone's icloud is currently logged in with my old apple ID email address, which seems to not work with the new password, so I can't log it or even delete the account off my iphone. And ovbiously, I don't know the old password that I have "forgotten", as my phone tells me. There seems to be no way of changing the icloud account now.... What should I do?!

    So what was the solution. I have a similar problem on all of my devices now

  • ABAP Email Sending Program: Change Display user name in email

    Hi All,
    I have developed an email sending program using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. It is working fine but there is requirement that when the customer receives email, in the display name of sender, there should be some fixed name. But here in this case it is picking the Sy-uname i.e. system user name who is triggering the program.
    I also tried the FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1, but it only changes senders email address, and the requirement is to change the display name in email.
    Regards,
    Nikhil

    You will have to use ABAP class CL_BCS. With it you can specify the sender, both the address and the name.
              lv_smtp_addr = iv_senderaddress.
              lv_smtp_name = iv_sendername.
              call method cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address
                exporting
                  i_address_string = lv_smtp_addr
                  i_address_name  = lv_smtp_name
                receiving
                  result          = lo_sender_address.

  • Help - don't know how to change this...

    Being a novice with my BB curve I keep playing with it to learn and this morning I went into contacts and had the option of "personal or business"; I clicked on personal and now can't get to my contacts because there is nothing listed uder "personal" and I don't know how to change it back plus I must have saved the numbers to the phone because it says my sim is empty and I didn't keep records of my numbers OMG HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

    Mate, just found this in another thread and it worked!!!!!
    See how you go!
    Hello,
    I managed to fix it this way:
    Settings > Mail, etc - remove your iCloud account
    Settings > iCloud - check iCloud account is removed
    Settings > iCloud - add your account using the e-mail address you want to use (I wanted @me but was getting the .mac error because I set up my account in 2007 with a @mac address, so I added with @me address)
    let it do its thing
    Settings > iCloud > Account - my Apple ID shows as @mac but when I scroll down my 'Mail' shows as @me and I am able to send e-mails again!
    I hope this helps you guys out. I think it would be great if Apple would allow people to merge their @me.com and @mac.com addresses into one of their choice to avoid confusion both for us and their servers! I also had iMessage trouble because of this.
