Hello confido4jc
Which link is not working , also explain where you're having problem so that we can assist .
First of all Connect your device and run BlackBerry Desktop Software Click on Application > Wait till the application list refresh, then scroll down and see if you are able to view email setup within that list , if you see that Click on + beside that application to install that on your device, while doing so be sure that your computer has active Internet .
So please explain what steps you performed within that knowledge base where you're having problem.
Let us know.

TS3899 I have a yahoo email account setup on my iPad & iPhone. The new mail is never marked as unread when downloaded to my iPad or iPhone. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hey there Fabian,
If I understand correctly you are going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account but that last option is not usable because it is gray. In testing this for you, I was able to reproduce this by enabling Restrictions and denying Account Changes. You can configure that with this article:
About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Struggling with POP email account setup

I'm struggling to get my POP email accounts setup on my new iPhone. Seems like a great device, but without email, it's useless to me.
I've setup these same 4 email accounts dozens of times on different computers. I've entered all the Host names, passwords, and advanced settings (for the first email account). I have two problems. I can't send from any of my email accounts. One is a POP3 account and my primary email on my iPhone. I seem to receive messages but cannot send. I have two SWBell/Yahoo accounts which can receive, but won't send.
Second problem is that I'm trying to setup a 4 account which is a POP account, but it won't let me set this one up. It keeps coming back with "Cannot Connect Using SSL". If I say "Yes" to the question about trying to setup without SSL, it just goes away for a couple of minutes working, then gives me the same error.
Surely I can't be the only one whose having these problems. Thanks in advance for any help!!!
Regards,
Ross

For the first 3 accounts the ISPs probably block SMTP connections from outside their network. The test of this is if it works connected to your home WiFi network (if you have one) but not on EDGE. Note also that the SMTP username/password on the iPhone says "optional", but it is actually required when off-network.
If you are not connected via WiFi you can use AT&T's SMTP server when connected via EDGE. It is cwmx.com, and does not require a username or password.
On the 4th account you haven't given any real information to help you. Assuming you have all of the server names correct you probably have the wrong encryption method. You mentioned SSL, but it could also be TLS or NTLM (or others that are not supported by the iPhone). Also, if it is a MS Exchange account the server may not be configured to support IMAP, which is required form the iPhone connecting to Exchange.

How can another user on my system share their document if they cannot access a public drop box, do not have an email account setup on the system and we don't want to use iwork?

Please help. My DS created a document under his login on my PowerBook and now, I cannot seem to access it. He doesn't have an email account of his own, I can't seem to save it as a public document in a drop box like I can from my own login and we do not want to use iwork. Is there a way to save it so that I can access it from my login to email to his teacher. I don't want to have to retype it into Pages under my login.

Save the document from his account to an external drive or thumb drive.
Set the permissions (using Finder > Get Info) for "Everyone" to Read and Write.
Your DS will likely be the owner of the file, so you may need his login password to change the permissions.

Barry

Email account setup failure

AT&T 8310 Curve - I have one e-mail address set up and working fine: IMAP
Trying to set up a slightly more complex one fails.
The differences with the second account are:
It uses SSL.
The mail server is NOT the same as the domainaname in the e-mail address.
The username is NOT the same as the part before @ in the email address.
The email address is: [email protected]
Server is mail-amer.isp.com
Username is: ABC123
Service is IMAP/SSL
So, when I try to "Set up an existing account" -- web/pc (but same result from BB).
I enter email address [email protected] and password.
This fails, as I would expect. I then choose the option to provide the details myself.
I enter:
Username: ABC123
Password: ******
Email Server: mail-amer.isp.com
Email address: [email protected]
It tries to set up, but fails.
I am assuming that it will try SSL - Port 993 since I can't specify this.
It should work, but doesn't.
The text on the setup form worries me. although I selected ISP POP/IMAP the form is entitled "Set up existing Outlook / Outlook Express account" -- Which is NOT what I am trying to do.
Similarly, the comments under the entry fields seem to be wrong.
For username it says "(e.g. jdoe or [email protected])" -- well, my username isn't the first part of the email addr.
Anyway - whatever - it fails to work.
Of course, there seems to be no way to contact anyone with a clue to get this set up ... any suggestions are welcome!

when it fails ( you can make it fail by providing wrog password): Choose this is my work email account -> I will provide the settings to add this email account -> in the server name try using IP address: 216.126.204.65 ( this is what came when i used 'mail-amer.isp.com', is its diferentmail server, get the correct IP address) and then also make sure the user name is correct (it could be 'jdoe' or your full email address, try both).

How can I access advanced settings during initial email account setup?

Having just bought an iPad Air, I've tried to setup my email account (with John Lewis) on it during the initial startup process and repeatedly failed, both with SSL on and off. I imagine that I need to change the port settings or some other advanced parameter, but I can find no way of accessing them. It looks simple once you have the account set up but obviously that is of no help here. I apologise if I am being dopey but this is my first experience with an Apple product. Thanks for your help.

Before you reload your OS I suggest you call your carrier first. This could be an issue on their end, it may be caused if your carrier has not correctly provisioned the BlackBerry smartphone for BlackBerry data services.

Lineone email account setup?

Anyone know how to set up a "lineone" email account on an Ipad?

Hi Eric
Many thanks but have already tried this and it doesn't work. Talk/talk, tiscali, etc helpdesk are about as much use as a 9 bob note, really not interested as no longer supported.
Have given up, set up a new email account and sent out a broadcast to users of my old account.
Thanks anyway

Email Account Setup - Provider Identity Not Verifiable

Hi, today I completed a hardware upgrade at Rogers from BB Bold 9000 to BB Q10.
I successfully setup my Hotmail account. However, in trying to add another account (POP3) it does not complete and displays "Provider Identity Not Verifiable"???
Rogers technical support is not helpful at all. They said it is probably a server issue, but my Outlook 2010 is receiving email just fine.
Can anyone help me please! Thanks!

I located a BlackBerry document that provides the solution for adding a POP3 account.

Email Account setup

HELP! My company will not allow my Blackberry to directly access my email account. I can access through the Internet. I have the https address of the website and have all the passwords etc but I cannot seem to get my Blackberry set up. Can someone help me get through this?

Welcome to the forums jfricker
I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean. Is your phone provided by your company and is connected to the companies email address using blackberry enterprise server (BES)? I don't use BES but it is my understanding that the IT people can restrict your phone in any way that they choose, even preventing email setup for personal accounts. Normally, you would access your phone provider's Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) site and setup email over here after registering your device. Check out this link to access your carrier's BIS site as well as how to setup email: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/blackberry101/setup.jsp#tab_tab_email

Email account setup problem with Messages app

Having recurring problems lately with a Rogers pop3 email account not syncing properly in the Playbook Messages app, unless I'm on a wifi connection. Continually tells me it's encountered an unexpected problem connecting to the Rogers server when only bridged through my phone. Is something screrwing up, or is the app designed for wifi only? I don't recall this problem originally.
Also having all kinds of fun setting up the account and having it complete the process properly. It tells me it can't connect with the server/it's not available at this time, blah blah blah. Tried just entering the email address and letting the tablet do its thing; have used multiple settings in the Advanced setup, as verified by using the EVAT tool (though it seems to only have PC, not Playbook options). Again, maybe this is just a wifi-only issue(?), but even on wifi setup seems iffy.
Duh

Rogers has different setting for home and mobile use and it can be painful to deal with
Basically they lock it down for one use or the other and not for both.
It was inteneded to be used only with your home PC and not a mobile device and some ISP have made changes to allow it
POP protocol isnt that robust and if possible use IMAP or better to use exchange active sync if possible (not all ISP use IMAP or EAS)
I gave up on it and switched to outlook.com

I have several email account setup on iphone. for one of them can receive from/to emails from phone, but emails sent from computer not received on phone. phone shows receiving but does not come thru

I have iphone 4s with several email accounts set up. For one of these accounts, and only one, test emails sent from phone come thru fine. But computer generated mail doesn't come to phone. For test messages phone shows "receiving" but nothing comes to inbox. External sent mail does not come to phone inbox, but does to outlook on computer. Have checked settings and these seem correct. What's up? Four other accounts work fine.

If you can send e-mail when on WiFi from home, but not when on 3G, that indicates your email provider is blocking e-mail being sent from outside their network. This is done to control Spam. ISPs who do this will usually have a separate SMTP server that should be used when using a mobile device. Check with them again.

Email account setup just loads and loads..

So I picked up a new 3g iphone today and I'm trying to setup an email account I have from my own business but when I input the correct settings, I click save and its verifying for a long while but nothing. anyone else having this issue?

nvm, cant see how to pm you
email address is [email protected] its on a bluehost server, box195. i got this from the bluehost rep;
