Need help with Email on Curve

Hey there,
I received this Blackberry Curve 8300 series phone basically as a "hand me down" from family.  I like the phone, but cannot figure out how to set it up to receive my email.
I've tried going through setup wizard, but get stuck on the "I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server".  It asks if the administrator provided me with an Enterprise Activation password.
Here's the problem:  The person who gave me this phone is "technologically challenged", and if she ever did have a password given to her, she doesn't know what it is.  Do I have any way to figure out the password, reset the password, etc.?  How do I go about getting the Enterprise Activation password, and who has that information?
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

hutch, you're not ona BES server, you are strictly a personal user.
Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

  • New user needs help with Email account questions

    Good day - I have been a 10-year user of Blackberrys (Curve, Bold, and earlier models). Just received a new Q10 for work. Enterprise Outlook synched up and I am getting all emails, calendar, and contact information as in the past. All good with this. Here are my questions I cannot find answers to anywhere:
    1) How can I insert a "signature" with emails I compose from Q10?
    2) How can I delete all emails on Q10, rather than one at a time?
    3) How do I set the Q10 to only delete from phone and not network. In other words I only want to delete emails from the Q10 device and not my PC.
    Appreciate any help. Thank you,
    Chris

    #3 is even easier
    Go to Hub settings, then display and actions and drag down, you'll see the option 'delete'.
    Regards.
    Blackberry! Here, now, forever!

  • Need help with a Blackberry Curve 9300, please...

    Hello, everyone, I had a look around the forum and came across a post which offered advice one what to include in questions, so I have tried to include the info below. 
    Device info
    Your carrier: Unlocked (was using Virgin)
    Model info and OS version (Go to Settings, then Options, then about): Blackberry Curve 9300, OS 6
    Apps and free space
    File free before and after a battery remove/replace. (Go to Settings, then Options, then status): 60%
    Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
    Apps installed and their version if possible.   (Go to Settings, then Options, then applications): None, only the ones that come with it after reset to factory
    BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): Don't know what this means
    When writing your question
    Any other details that would help us out with your issue: This was my teenage brother's phone, which since has been given to me. The phone was severely mistreated; thrown around, stepped on and chewed. The battery had to be replaced as well as the middle chassis and the front and back cases along with the keyboard, bottom clip and screen. 
    Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before: I managed to get it working after I had replaced everything listed above, but it will not charge using the cable. I have to keep taking the battery out and plugging it in seperately to charge, then putting back in the phone. This is after replacing the cable as my brother broke that too, so it's not the cable. He's damaged the data/ charge port.
    The camera will not work, but at the moment I am not looking for a solution for that. The error is: "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again". No applications are open and the OS has just been updated to the most recent version. For this reason, I think he's managed to break that too and it would need to be replaced if that's possible.
    My issue at the moment... My mother, as you can imagine is furious with him for trashing the phone she bought him at about £250 when it was new a couple of years ago. So, as I have managed to get it to turn on and pick up wi-fi, she has said I can keep it. I am on Virgin Mobile and this phone is unlocked. It will not pick up any network even using my Virgin SIM card which works fine. My brother was also using it on Virgin.
    I can use it with wi-fi and have already contacted t-mobile and Virgin Mobile to make there there's no problem with them. There isn't. The number has been put under my ownership and the phone registered to me now. It is not blocked or blacklisted, yet, only comes up with SOS for network.
    Because of this, they and the local phone shop think he might have damaged the antenna inside. I am an iPhone user, this is the first time I have used a Blackberry, so I have no idea - can the antenna be repaired by myself? 
    Or, given that the camera doesn't work either/ needs replacing, would it just be better to get a replacement using my contents insurance? I am unsure which would be cheaper, to get the parts and try and fix it myself, or pay the excess for the insurance. 
    Advice appreciated... Thanks in advance.

    Hey MaggzieP,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    This KB article will determine if it is a software or hardware related issue for the camera: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15544
    Also if you tried more than 1 SIM card in the BlackBerry Curve 9300 smartphone and it still shows SOS, this could be hardware related as well.
    For all repairs, I can only suggest checking with the point of sale or network service provider for further options.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Need help with email sync utilizing gmail...

    I have the new curve 8520 and I use google sync for calendar and contacts. My question is regarding my emails syncing though. When I delete my email from my phone, it deletes from gmail, which is what I want. However, when I delete email on my my computer through gmail, it does not sync on my phone and I have to go into my phone and manually delete. How can I make my email sync up on both ends, both ways? Am I not being patient enough?

    Try going into your Gmail on phone and click menu key and options... email reconciliation  and set your conflicts setting to mailbox wins and see if that helps

  • I need Help with my 8330 Curve BB

    a few days ago my BB went crazy.... it is in a loop and will not start up or install a new oper. system (4.3 or 4.5)
    i read here on the board that there is a file corruption what causes this problem.
    question..... how to i wipe my BB totally clean and how do i install the new software (OS) onto it.
    my privider is bell....... the bellstore could not help me, because, they only take returns for the first 30 days........
    bell does not have any in stock (30 days and more for the backorder).......... i am leaving for europe next week........
    can anybody help please
    Thanks

    First of all be sure to BACK UP what you currently have on your BB.  Then, make sure that have the vendor specific software and the desktop manager downloaded.  When you download the software for your 8330 you should be able to download the specific instructions for installation. Install the desktop manager software (most recent version that your carrier has) and then follow the instructions for updating the software.  If you don't need to update or re-install the software you can then just wipe the curve and re-sync.
    Now, to wipe your Curve, go into Options - security options -  general settings.  When you have the general settings screen there, click the application button (blackberry button next to the trackball).  On the pop up menu you'll see wipe handheld.  Select that and you'll be asked to confirm that you want to wipe your handset, so enter blackberry.
    That will wipe EVERYTHING off of your Curve and you can start fresh.

  • Need help with email hyperlinks in presenter 7

    I've been using presenter 6.2 with powerpoint for a while,
    and I've just upgraded to 7. However, now email hyperlinks
    (mailto:) no longer work. Has anyone else had this problem? How do
    I fix it?

    I've built my project in powerpoint 2003 with presenter 7. My
    associate imported a 2003 powerpoint project into office 2007 with
    presenter 7 and it didn't work. My assumption is that your way
    might work if I created a new project with powerpoint 2007 and
    presenter, as opposed to importing an older version of powerpoint.
    p.s. This issue is not apparent with presenter 6.2 and in
    both powerpoint 2003 & 2007, the mailto link works in
    "slideshow"

  • I need help with my blackberry curve 8520

    My phone hasnt been dropped, knocked or water damaged!! But the screen has gone all funny. Its whiteish - but so i can still see the icons and texts etc but with great difficulty. At some angles, it almost looks like a rainbow! 02 said to take it to a store but i was wondering if anyone knew any quick fixes?  Its still working fine by the way i just cant really see anything!

    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Let us know what the screen is like after.

  • HT1277 I need help with EMAIL

    My accounts are set up as pop and I want to change them to IMAP - how can I EDIT  an email account to change the type

    You must delete the POP account first. I would strongly recommend that you first create local (On My Mac) mailboxes to copy your inbox and sent mail to. Use the plus sign at the bottom left of the mail window, then New Mailbox. Make sure the location is "On My Mac". Create one called POP INbox and one called POP Sent Mail. Then drag and drop, or copy and paste, from the existing inbox/sent to the new ones. Once that's done, you can delete the POP account in Preferences, and create a new IMAP one. You can copy back the saved Inbox/Sent mail if you need to.

  • HT201320 I need help with email set up.

    I'm trying to connect my new Iphone 5c with my yahoo mail.  I input the proper info and getthe following error message:
    The IMAP server "apple.imap.mail.ahoo.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server"field.
    I didn't put any info in the incoming mail server field, nor do I see this field.

    Hello, Zooey7777. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • Need help with email transfers of large files WRT160nl

    This is a new router for my home based business network. I am using Windows XP, Vonage, cable, a Dell power connect 2708 to expand ports and the WRT160nl router. Two issues: the most important is that I can no longer email large pdf files (contracts for instance) without breaking them into 6 to 7 Mg size files. Even 10mg files will not go. My previous Linksys wireless router (since 2003) never had this problem. Any ideas? I should also mention that I scan the files before trying to upload via email to clients.
    Also, at least once a day I have to restart my desktop (wireless) because the connection to our server (where all our files are stored) has dropped. I can access the internet and email.  Any ideas?
    Many thanks

    Open the setup page of the router and change the MTU size to 1365. Save the settings.
    Go to Wireless tab and click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings and power cycle the router. See if that makes any difference.
    Make sure that firmware on your router is upgraded.
