Username for email setup

Hey, 
I've had my torch for a little over a year now and when I first set up my emails, everything worked perfectly fine with it, but now it won't let me recieve emails to my phone at all from my gmail account. My first problem was that I needed a password as I thought I knew my username, so I went on blackberry's website and changed my password. My problem now is that it still won't allow to use my setup and says the combination is wrong, which means my username is wrong. On the blackberry website it says my username is my email address and when i try to change it to a normal username, it says that it has to be an email address. But on my blackberry torch when i try to put in my email address as my username in my email setup it tells me that 'the username is invalid. A user name must be at least 4 characters' and I found out that it's the @ sign which makes it invalid. 
How can I find what my username is, or change it so that I can restart my email or at least check that it works, because i cannot send emails either as it says that the account is in invalid mode. 
Also, my wifi hasn't picked up any wifis at all, even though it used to. Is there anywhere I can turn it on or anywhere where I could possibly have something turned off without knowing it? It's very frustrating when it doesn't find any networks, when I'm standing right next to a perfectly working router. 
Thanks, 
Penny 

You can always try going to your carrier's self-serve BIS site to set up email addresses on your phone (your carrier will help you with it along the way) or you can type www.blackberry.com/integrate from your phone's browser.
I hope that helps you.

  • How can I reduce the amount of user prompts for Email setup in Apple Configurator?

    I am working on deploying profiles via Apple's new Apple Configurator which allows me to install apps and settings exactly how I want them. My question pertains to the email setup where anything left blank in the payload gets prompted on the device for user input. Is there anyway to have the user only enter in their user name and password once and use that for the SMTP outgoing settings as well? I'd like to reduce the user interaction to a minimal.Currently they enter in their full name, email address, user name for incoming, password for incoming, and then user name AGAIN for outgoing (I checked the box for 'Outgoing password same as incoming'). Is there anyway to retain the username and avoid having the user enter it in twice?
    If not, I can make do with how it is, but was rather curious if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'll try this again starting it as new, but when I restored it before (after deleting all the apps and music off it) it didn't help.  Thanks for the suggestion!

  • BB Curve 8350 quit email function. Can't load address for email setup..."blank entry not valid" even though info entered

    HELP!!  My BB quit sending/receiving emails 6 weeks ago.  I tried to do the setup again, but error message says "Blank entry not valid" even though the info has been entered (Email & password)   I tried to get help from Sprint but as they aren't supporting BB anymore, they just want me to upgrade. 
    I swapped devices this AM (8350 Black for 8350 Red) and the same issue on this device.  Any assistance is welcome!!!
    Thank you!

    If they cannot resolve your issue ask them to escalate your case to RIM. it is what they are SUPPOSED to do when they cannot resolve a BlackBerry issue. Whoever you have been on the phone with does not know what they are doing.
    This forum is not an official support channel but rather a peer-to-peer support forum community where other users just like yourself help each other out with their BlackBerry device.
    Some things can only be solved by RIM, however, and the only channel to their support is through your carrier.

    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.

  • Email setup asking for Username and Password.

    I recently backed up my phone on my computer and ever since I did, it's like all of my personal settings were deleted as well. For instance, I had to fix my all of my profiles sounds after backing up, and I went to my Blackberry Appworld, scrolled over to My Appworld and it says 'no downloads' and I have downloaded a lot of applications. That's not really a problem for me, as long as I get messages when updates come out for the apps...? Now, I am trying to setup another email  address and when going to 'email setup wizard', I am being prompted for a Username and Password. I don't remember ever making a username or password for email setup, but was able to firgure out I could put my PIN in for my password to be sent, which it was. BUT I still do not know what my username is, and I've tried my email addresses with and without what's after the @ and still no luck.  Could somebody please help me resolve this problem?

    You must have done something more than just a simple backup -- a backup does not change device settings or preferences or write anything to the handheld.
    As far as the email setup, it should not be your email address, it's whatever you created, perhaps the first part of your email, the part before the @ ?
    but you must know it to proceed. Or, call your carrier and ask to have the BIS account reset (basically they shoudl delete it and recreate it for you).

  • Can't get emails setup.

    The 9720' keeps stating activation request failed. I don't have a business account and yet I only get given an enterprise activation screen for email setup. Help

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    To use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, BBM, etc.), 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 Push-email enabled BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
    With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
    Good luck!

  • Outgoing Email Setup for Knology - Does anyone know the server setting?

    A friend cannot find the Knology server settings for outgoing mail...Knology company was no help.
    Does anyone know the proper settings?
    Thanks

    DBunch07,
    I was able to find this site in their support pages:
    http://support.knology.net/content/email.setup.cfm
    If the suggested setting from there smtp.knology.net, does not work, they may require different settings for when you aren't connected directly to them. For example when using EDGE or a WiFi Hotspot.
    I have found that asking email provider's tech support for what mail server settings to use while you are travelling and using a laptop will often get the correct settings to use for the iPhone. However, if they say they only offer webmail for when you are travelling, you will not be able to use their outgoing server on EDGE or at WiFi Hotspots, because they have chosen to block outgoing access when you are not on their network.
    While connected to EDGE, you can use cwmx.com to send email out. It only works while on EDGE, and does not require a username or password, since it goes off of the authentication for using EDGE with AT&T.
    AT&T's knowledge base article about cwmx.com is here:
    http://www.wireless.att.com/support/knowledgeBase.do?content=KB72769.html
    You will have to turn off WiFi when you want to send email though.
    This article discusses the issues in more depth:

  • My Galaxy S III email setup for Yahoo isn't working

    I'm not able to setup my Galaxy S III for Yahoo mail. I get an message 80315, that the username or password is incorrect. They're not--I tried several times! I tried using both the Yahoo setup and the generic Other manual setup. It retrieved all the info from Yahoo OK, but at the end gave me the same message, about my username or password being incorrect.
    (I encountered a similar problem with live.com, which I was able to fix using the Manual setup.)

    Yahoo email setup has been troublesome for a while for android devices.  Try the Yahoo app from the Play Store instead.

  • Email setup - password and username

    I've had my BB for 3 weeks and i love it... although I am somewhat paranoid about excessive bills. (Will have to ensure I understand what functions are covered by contract and which I have to pay through the nose for.) Anyway onto my point.
    I set up my gmail email using the email setup function. Was very easy actually. However, i can't remember my username or password to get back in. (All i wanted to do was to add a signature rather than have the default 'email sent using Blackberry on orange' at the end of emails.)
    Is there anyway to reset this? If I could at least remember my username I could recover my password - but i've tried every username I can think and no joy. Would anyone be able to suggest anything? If not, would Blackberry be able to assist me? It's not an earth shattering problem as I can get and send emails at the moment. However I hate not having full access due to my own stupidity in not writing down the PW and UN and storing securely.
    Any assistance or advice welcome

  • Email setup username

    When trying to login to the existing users email setup, my username is either not recognised or is invalid. If I used the screen name of my BB ID then the password does not match whilst when I used my full registered email address, it won't recognise the @ symbol and says the my username is invalid.
    I've been stuck with this problem for a month now and Orange says there's nothing they can do about it.
    Any ideas?

    Ask Orange to delete your BIS account, and re-add it to your account.
    Then you can setup fresh and set a new username/password.

  • Email Setup Torch 9800 Username Password

    Hi, I'm using a BB Torch 9800, basically I changed my email password recently and now need to change the settings on my BB.  However when I tried to go to settings to change my email account settings, its asking for login?  It not my email account or BB ID login as I tried to register to that and that didn't work.  Then I think its the BB account (which is different from BB ID... so confusing...) So I tried register that but doesn't seem to allow me to do so.... Any suggestions would be appreciate it!  Alternatively, should I wipe all the info and start again? Many thanks!Maria

    MOD EDIT: Removed personal information to comply with Community Guidelines and Terms and Conditions of Use.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I cannot tell for sure from your description which of these applies to you...
    If this is your independent BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) credentials, then you simply need to ring up your mobile service provider as they manage your BIS account for you.
    But, if your provider has merged (as they all are doing) your BIS credentials into your BlackBerry ID account, then your challenge is greater. Start first with these please:
    KB28685 How to reset the BlackBerry ID password using the password recovery question
    KB24157 BlackBerry ID lockout behavior
    KB32111 "The link is no longer valid." is encountered when attempting to reset a BlackBerry ID password
    KB26361 How to change or reset the BlackBerry ID password
    KB28111 Unable to reset BlackBerry ID password when using a BlackBerry hosted email address
    KB28232 BlackBerry ID reset email is not being delivered to the associated mailbox
    If you have forgotten your BB ID credentials AND have non-BB access (e.g., Outlook, webmail, etc.) to the email account that is currently configured to your BB ID account, then those instructions should allow you to recover access to your BB ID account, even without the password or recovery question (please read them all carefully to find the section that applies to you).
    As a last automated resort, and only if you have the original email you received when you originally created your BBID (it cannot be regenerated), then it should contain a link to actually now destroy your BBID. Then, you create a new BBID, but using the exact same credentials (username, email address), and it is supposed to relink all of your prior BBWorld records (purchases, downloads) and allow you to continue on.
    However, if you do not have access to that email account, or if you never properly validated your BBID account, then your challenge is much greater, and you have a choice to make depending on your circumstances:
    If you have no AppWorld records, BBM Contacts, etc. that you require to retain (e.g., purchase records for apps), then simply abandon the BB ID and create a new one. To do so, however, does require a device WIPE:
    KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
    But, if you do have AppWorld records, BBM Contacts, etc. that you must keep, then you require human intervention. To receive that, you must ring up your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. Further, you must convince BlackBerry to provide you with a solution -- which likely will either be resetting your current BB ID so that you can again access it or having you create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase records over. Note that I have no idea if they will be willing to do this, but there is no other way that I know of to retain your prior AppWorld purchase records.
    Good luck!

  • What is the best way for email processing setup on CRM 2013 (on- premises) Set up?

    We need to notify customers via CRM 2013 for some activities.
    I searched regarding email processing set up, and i found two options:
    1. via outlook
    2.  Via Exchange Server.
    Tried through email router (exchange server), but it requires exchange online or SMTP for outgoing profile.
    I  do have exchange on premise setup, I am not sure about SMTP option.
    My queries are:
    > Can we configure Exchange server to work as Exchange Online?
    > what other option, I can try for email Processing?
    looking for your suggestions...
    Thanks in advance!

    If you have Exchange onPremise, then you should be able to use the email router or server side sync in combination with CRM workflows (to generate the email).  This is a fairly common scenario.  You do not need Exchange Online.
