Cannot set up email account on blackberry curve 9360

Although I can surf the net, I am unable to set up an email account. I don't understand why it is an "enterprise account". What does this mean? I simply want to set up a hotmail account on this mobile. I already have a hotmail account on my laptop and all I want to do is to be able to send and receive emails on the Blackberry. I cannot get past the requirement to enter an Activation Password. When I enter my normal password here it goes off trying to acquire a service connection. Eventually a screen says "Activation request failed. A service connection is unavailable. OK.
Setting up my iPhone was easy compared to this. What am I doing wrong?

Setting up email on the blackberry curve 8520.

Hi, I am trying to help my friend set up her email on her new phone. The settings is not giving her an option to choose which email to use. It is only giving out the Blackberry network and she wants to use her own. Do you have to have a data package in order to use personal email?

Hi, yes you need a Blackberry Data Plan to use push email on the blackberry - get her to give her carrier a call and see what options they offer.

I have registered my email and selected a blackberry email as well. I had to go online to Tmobile and register my email as I only have 2 options at the "add email" screen.
1) I want to use a work email account.
2) I want to skip email setup.
I do not have the option here for adding my own email.
I have yet to receive email to my phone.
While at the Tmobile store, the rep registered my phone so I could get the email accounts set up. When I look at my account online, I see the emails I have added to the account.
I get no emails. I sent one to my blackberry account, but still no emails.
I had a pearl that I borrowed last year and it was no problem. Actually got too many emails. Now I get none, only text messages.
Suggestions?

Setting Up Email On Blackberry Curve 8520

Trying to add an email account to a Blackberry Curve 8520 and it will not take it. Keeps saying incorrect email or password but the same login info works every where else. It is a @live.com email account. We were able to add a @live.ca without problem. How can we get the @live.com added?

Problems Setting up Email on Curve 8520

I'm not able to set-up email on my new curve 8520. I know that other people have posted about it before, but I still can't seem to get it working!
I have BIS and have already created a Blackberry ID. Whenever I go to email setup, the only option I'm presented with is "I want to create or add an email address" and when I click next it says "After you click Next teh Blackberry Internet Service setup application opens. After you finish setting up yruo email press the menu key and click close". On the next page , I'm asked for my username and password, and when I fill it in, I always get:
"The information you provided is incorrect. Retype your user name and pasword."
I know that my username and password are correct, as I've double checked them in BlackBerry App World, so the issue has to be coming from somewhere else.
I've contacted Vodafone several times, and RIM but no one has been able to give me a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Heathermac, the username and password for setting up your email on your BIS account is NOT the same as your BlackBerryID... two very different and totally separate things.
You might want to make your BIS login the same as your BlackBerryID, that would be convenient and a good idea, but they are not the same. They are set up differently, and one does not carry over to the other.

Problems setting up email + understanding Pin and BB internet service

Hi,
I've been browsing for answers about my new black berry 9700.
When I try to set up my email on the phone it says. "Your email account is already activated for enterprise use."
I have no idea what that means.
I brought the Blackberry pretty much brand new, it was used for like a day.
the problem with that is I've never had a blackberry before and I don't know anything about setting up the email, blackberry internet service, enterprise, and the pin system.
Also, the other problem is that there are two icons for internet; Browser and WAP. I just want to connect to the internet via my wireless internet and not get charged, and want to know if I am getting charged.
Please help.

Shoulda done some reasearch first:
Using your WiFi router to connect to your 9700, you can use the WiFi hotspot browser ONLY to connect to the internet. You will NOT be able to use the RIM push email, Facebook app, BlackBerry Messenger, Maps, etc.
You MUST have the BlackBerry Data Plan on your service provider account for that.
Go to Options > Advanced > Browser and save that to HotSpot Browser.
Meanwhile, at Manage Connections, search for and connect to your WiFi router and you're set to go for the limited use you'll have.

How to set up email account for 9360

Hello,
I have problem on setting up my email account.. I have a hotmail account but I can't access it through my blackberry.At first I tried to set it up via set up-email account etc but I couldn't. Then I opened my browser, clicked on communication and then integrate hotmail but the stage doesn't''t open at all.It appears the message unknown error, please try again. Can anyone help me???

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It's a pity that all we have to go on is "but I couldn't"...error messages and step by step of what you try and what happens can be much more helpful in diagnosis. But, from what you describe, it sounds like you don't have an adequate BB-level data plan from your mobile service provider...so I recommend you ring them up (vodafone, according to your profile entry here) to sort this out.
Good luck!

Emails from my Blackberry are getting trapped by spam filtering

It's not a consistent thing, which makes this more aggravating, but I have my work email set up on my Storm (9530), and many times, when I reply to an email that involves my co-workers, my emails get trapped by our online spam filtering. Both my work email, as well as the "bis" Blackberry information has been added to the "whitelist", but these emails still have occasion to be trapped.
Can someone please help me get to the bottom of what is being embedded in the source header information from these emails that might be causing this problem?
I've noticed this is true of other emails originating from BlackBerry phones, regardless of the carrier.
Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I'm thinking that you need to work with your SPAM filtration vendor...all of the header information is fully visible to an administrator who traps one of the captured emails. They need to compare that trapped email to the rules they have in their SPAM filter. I pretty much doubt that anyone "out here" could possibly have the level of access required to do any meaningful diagnostics. Unless I misunderstand your request...
Good luck!

Problem setting up email

hello everyone, i reccently purchased a vodafone bb 8900 from my friend, i got it unlocked today and i am currently using an 02 sim card. My mate had his emails set up on the phone but deleted it before passing the phone on.
My problem is when i try to set up my emails i go to setup / setup wizard / email setup, there is no option to create or add an email account. Only the option to use a work email account with an enterprise server. And there is no shortcut to Email settings in the setup folder.
does anyone know how to set my emails up from here??
ps. this is my first blackberry and i am a complete novice with this sort of stuff so if you could keep it simple it would be much appreciated thanks Ryan

Yes, you need a BlackBerry Data Plan from your carrier.
Call 02 and ask for the BlackBerry Data Plan for your account or tariff.
Without it, you have a nice device which will work for a WiFi-connected browser. No RIM push email or other applications which require the data plan.

Email account for blackberry

i go to setup wizard to make my email account..but it keeps asking me if my system adminstration gave me a password..who is my system administration and how do i set up my blackberry email account?

Since you're asking the question, I would guess you're selecting the wrong email setup. You're selecting a Business email setup rather than an Internet email setup. This is for connecting to a (typically) Corporate BlackBerry Enterprise Server to receive your corporate email. If you are supposed to be setting this up, your IT department would have sent you an "Enterprise Activation" password.
You want to select Internet Email. You should have an "Email Setup" or possibly a "Personal Email Setup" icon - if it's not on your main screen, check under the Applications or Setup folders.
That said, it may be easier to set up your email from your computer. Links for all North American providers is at the bottom of this page:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/software/internet.jsp
One thing. Typically you get a BlackBerry email account with a domain that ends in @provider.blackberr.net. While delivery of email through this address is typically almost instantaneous, there are a lot of reasons to NOT use this email address.
For one, there is NO Spam filtering available. Should your email address get found by Spam operations, you will need to set this email address to NOT forward email to your device, and then tediously add email addresses to be allowed to be delivered. NOT FUN!
Second, there is no other access to messages through this address. Once a message is delevered to your BlackBerry, that's the only place it exists, and if you delete it, it's gone forever.
Both Gmail and Yahoo work excelently with a BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) email setup, and you still have access to your email through the Web. You can synchronize Reads with both, and delete on your BlackBerry can delete on your Web email account. Yahoo delivery is nearly instantaneous, and sometimes Gmail is too (don't know why some of my accounts are, and some arent!). Both have excelent SPAM filtering.
Be aware that after you set up one of these email addresses, you want to add a filter to NOT forward email FROM that email address to your device. If you don't do this, you'll be asking why you receive a copy of any email you send from your BlackBerry - a common newbie complaint!
Good luck!

Unable to set up email, use BBM or App World

Hi. I recently purchased the Blackberry Curve 3G 9300 v5 under Vodafone Australia but I haven't been able to set up email, use BBM or the App World. I've already installed the Desktop Software and BBM and App World from this website (the person at the shop apparently didn't do a thing). Here are the errors I received -
1) I don't have the I would like to create new email account option, I only have the I want to use a work email account with Blackberry Enterprise Server option
2) When I add someone's BBM pin, they don't receive notification for it and it's stated as pending on my side. When they try to add me, I don't receive anything to inform me to add them
3) When I go to the App World button, I get the message Blackberry App World is having trouble connecting to the server, Verify your network connection then when I try to download it again at this site - I get the message
Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support BlackBerry App World.
Please help. I've gone to the shop where I bought this from but they were not very helpful. I need to know if they didn't set up my account properly so I can ask them to fix it. Thank you!

Hi! I've contacted my provider and it turns out my account wasn't activated after a week! It's fixed now, thanks!

How to set up email configuration on E61
Step 1: Type the following on your phone without quotes “*#0000#” you will find out which version your phone is. Should be one of the following and write it down.
2.618.06.05 or 1.610.04.04
Step 2: Go to Nokia’s website and download the Blackberry Connect software. You will have to select region as Europe, Carrier as Other (don’t select t-mobile), and phone model Nokia E61. Click the show button and you will find three links. Based on version number choose the top link or the middle link. Make sure your USB cable is hooked up to your phone and pc suite is connected. Then download the file and double click to open it. It should automatically install itself. Once it says install successful then you can disconnect the USB link. Next go to Menu the messages icon. Then click on options and settings and then email then change default to black berry and email to black berry and click on those settings and make sure black berry setting are “on” for everything. Then go back and click on email and your can select your email and using joystick and move to right and you will find your pin# and imei# and all other info. Write this down as it is necessary for next steps.
Step3: Go to my t-mobile website, if you haven’t not logged in then set this up. It is mandatory.
Once you login to my t-mobile website click on Communication tools tab in pink color. Next click on “Learn about T-mobile Web” which is in pink writing. Then you will already be on a white tab called communications. Re click on the white communications tab and you will see a new menu which has a link for Blackberry. Click on Blackberry. Then click on the link Setup Blackberry Internet Email. If you cant follow the above then follow this link : ===>h t t p s/ /:my.t-mobile.com/PartnerServices.aspx?service=BByIntEmail
Now you will see you’re logged in to make changes for blackberry. First click on change handheld link to the left. Then it will have your pin there already which should remain the same. You will have to enter in your new imei number which you got from the steps above. Once you’re done with that stuff you will need to click on the link to the left which says service books. Then click on send and it will send out new service books.
Finally: You should get a txt message saying activation successful bla bla bla and send an email and its all there.
