No e-mail icon with Curve 8520 v5 upgrade

After completing Version 5 upgrade, I don't have an icon on my home screen to send or receive e-mail.
I went into setup and my email account was already there. I ended up deleting it and adding it again. When I did this, I got a messge that a "new icon for this mailbox has been added to the home screen." Went to look and it's still not there. Took out the battery and rebooted. Still not there.
Finally discovered that I could get to my email but accessing SMS/MMS (texting) icon. I sent an e-mail to someone and all my received e-mail that I haven't been able to access was there. This is very cumbersome way of getting to my email and obviously not the way it's suppose to work.
How do I get my email icon added to my home screen?

In OS 5, your talking about the icon that I refer to as the "General" message folder. You can chose which notifications arrive in that folder SMS, MMS, Email, Call notifications. Find that icon and click on it, then click menu button and scroll to Options and then select what you do and do not want to appear in that folder/icon.

From the "front" screen, highlight an icon on the bottom and then hit the menu button. Now you are on the main menu sreen full of icons. Have a look for your email icon. Not there? Hit menu and "Show All." Still not there? Go into each icon, start with downloads, and do the show all again.
Once you find the email icon you can move it to the top row of the main icon screen and it will then be on the front screen.

E-mail problem with Curve 8520

Got my Blackberry at end of 2010 and have failed to be able to access e-mails. I think I have wrongly checked the Blackberry Enterprise Server Option in e-mail set up and can't now uncheck it. I have lost my "email settings" Icon and when I try to enter email address through the Setup Wizard - email set up option, the only option is "I want to use an email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" Any help would be great.

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 (BlackBerry Internet Service) 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.

IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All my mail is either read, trash, or deleted. Also, when I tap on the mail app on iPad home page, gmail is no problem but for yahoo I get error: no password for yahoo. Go to Mail Account Settings and enter password. I'm stuck. Suggestions? Thank you.

Ask and you shell receive.....lol
Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
Go look at pop download
There you'll find 3 numbered lines
Go to 1. Status
And select enable pop for all mail
Then save the settings
Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
Let me know how it works out.
I just did it and it sync within minutes.

I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5). I have set up mail successfully because it shows mail icon with messages. But I cant get into the mail box!

I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5). I have successfully set up the mail because it shows mail icon with messages (104 messages). But I cant get into the actual mail box to read them. Pls help!

The received emails should show in two locations:
1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
2. The Inbox for each mail account,
If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Annoying problem with CURVE 8520, please help !!!

My blackberry Curve 8520 connect to the mobile internet (not the BB service ) automatically everyday without me logging on any application or browser or making any updates.
I tried installing a new software, formating the phone, removing all the aplication and restoring the factory settings and all of them did not work and the same problem PRESISTS.
I contacted my provider customer service and they said that they can not know what exactly connects to the internet
Does anyone have a clue what may be this annoying OPTION that makes the connect to the internet without any notification?
I appreciate you help !
Thanks

Hi gom3a and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
The BlackBerry® smartphone will always make a connection with the data network in order to ensure you are always receiving email and messages when then are sent to you.
The BlackBerry® data services do not require you to login and most applications only require you to provide your login information once, then its saved so you don't have to login over and over again.
Thanks.

E-mail problem on curve 8520

Hi
in details
a new blackberry device has been detected. You must move your email accounts to receive email on this device.
To move an email account , you will need to type the email password,
basically after i click on move email account it takes me to the next page and i input my password and click on validate,
it gives me an invalid email password where i am 100 % sure that its correct i tried it like 4 times i even went and changed my password on my Hotmail and applied the new password still same error,
my Question is can't i delete my email account and start a new one if i could please guide me..
i had 3 e mail account and all were working fine till i changed my bb device to another curve 8520

Can you actually login to your hotmail account? If the actual hotmail password is different than what your trying to put into your phone, they wont match up. Try logging into your hotmail account from your pc and see what happens. If you can login, change password back to how it was for when you set it up for your device. If you cant login to your hotmail account, try to reset password by clicking on the 'forgot password' link. See if you can change it back to what it was when you set up the email account on your phone.
It also states in your last image that, if the problem persists; to contact hotmail.com

I no longer have the e-mail icons with my e-mail so that I may reply, forward, etc. How do I get them back?

I no longer have my e-mail symbols for replying, forwarding, etc. How do I get them back?

Try terminating and restarting Mail:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Mail icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Mail.
5. Mail Safari and see if this corrects the problem.
If this doesn't try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Impossible to see/change my e-mail account with Curve 9300

Since a recent provider problem (Telekom Germany), I have been unable to download programmes or receive e-mails via this account. However, all attempts to verify and adjust my e-mail settings via the Curve 9300 have failed. Problem: Whenever is go to Einrichten (install)/E Mail settings and type in my user name (=e-mail address), the phone says: "User name void. Please enter a valid user name". Now I know that the user name is correct since it is entered like this in the Blackberry ID application. I am at my wit's end. Where is my mistake? Thank you.
Solved!

Any way to get the Mail icon with changing number for incoming mail in ...

Toolbar, the big one across the top of my screen. I have a lot of other handy little items in there, Mozy, Growl Plaxo, world clock, ical, in addition to the Mac stuff. If I could see how many mails I have up there, I wouldn't need to check my dock or open Mail.

Look for something at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Need Urgent Help with Curve 8520 Backup

Help urgently. I need to backup my Curve but the BB manager would not accept my pin. I am keying it in but the cursor is not showing any sings that it is being typed in. The phone is not accepting the password and it is one try away from cleaning the phone. I need to backup before that happens

Are you typing in your PN or your Password? If you're connected to the BlackBerry Desktop Software, you should be entering the device security password.
Often users who have multiple numerals in their password will only press the ALT key for the first numeral and not those following, so for instance, if your password were "1234", you might have been pressing "Alt 1234" on the device, which makes the actual password to be "1ers".
Does that make sense? Does it sound familar to your usage?
So check the way you enter your password on the device... do you think you are entering multiple numbers but actually are not?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
The only reference I find to that error message has to do with BES users on older BES platforms. If you are on BES, then I advise going to see your BES admins for assistance. This reference might be helpful to them:
