Validate Blackberry email address

Good day everyone
I need assistance wrt the above subject line. I want to validate my email address, however I cannot remember my password and my recovery question answer as well. I've tried the information on the BB website but its still not working. Please help me.....

Hi and welcome to the forums!
If you know the email address and you can;t validate it, there's a chance you can change the information and retry the validate process. The attached link shows all the needed steps.
As far as forgetting the password and the recovery question as well, 3 strikes your out!
It pains me to have to suggest this but you'll have to call your wireless service provider.
Thanks,

How to Validate Multiple email address in spry?

How to validate multiple email address in spry framework?
Spry validate text field can validate one email address only,
if I the text field is for multiple emails, how can I validate
it?

Hello Jackson,
The Spry Textfield was designed to work with the normal work
flows that people currently use in most of the forms on the web. We
tried to prevent any email injection method in the forms therefore
the validation was designed to stop any multiple email insertion.
In case you want to insert multiple emails you'll have to
disable the default email validation and create your own validation
function, more flexible. You can see a
sample
we did for the custom validation trying to validate a password
strength and confirm the password.

Can't add blackberry email address

I got a device update from Verizon that wiped out my email accounts. I couldn't add the blackberry email address associated with my device back to the phone because I don't know the password. I created a new blackberry email address, but when I try to get updated in AppWorld it still wants the password from the old address. When I request a password reset it sends the information to the old email address which I can't access because I don't know the password.
Does anyone know how to change the email address associated with my device OR how to have the password reset info sent to a different email address?

You didn't say, but are you ACTUALLY trying to enter the BlackBerryID on your device?
Read this for instructions to reset your BlackBerryID password:
KB26361How to reset a BlackBerry ID password
Is that what you need... or is this for an actual BlackBerry email address, such as "[email protected]"?

BT can not validate my email address, another **bl...

Honest, you couldn't make it up.
I have had BT Smart Talk on one mobile since it came out, it has its uses so I thought I'll put it on my second phone as well.
Got through the " Setting up my account "... eventually.
Even received the pin number via my landline, moments later....... looking good.
Seconds later an email to say " Hello, blah, blah, blah "............. with some nice blue lettering to say " Activate your account now."
One last step to go, I click on it and get.......................... " We are unable to validate your email address "
So BT send me an email, to one of my BT email addresses that I have had for over 10 years, yet they are unable to verify one of their addresses, that seconds before they used to send me a message.
It only takes one extra straw so.............................
Another long standing BT customer (40 years ) who will now be re-organising all his BT emails and porting my contacts over to my Googlemail account, then a perusal of other ISP's who have some very atractive offers on, short term and long term, then I'll be jumping ship, I'm out of contract so the time and place is entirely up to me.
It won't have been a financial decision, because BT are more expensive, I don't mind paying that bit extra as long as I get good service, now I'm not.
Both my sons left BT a year or two ago, after being customers in their own right, after leaving home ( about 15 years ) because of carp service, they have never looked back, faster speeds, cheaper and, to date, excellent customer service.
Just hang on I'll give it another click................ no I won't ............ it's logged me out in the time it's taken me to type this.
As I said you couldn't make it up.

As Jimmy Cricket says " And there's more. "
Ding dong, a text message arrives on the phone in question.
From BT.
" Thanks for your patience, you can now start using BT Smart Talk, please re-open the app to complete the registration process. "
Great, open the app as I've been told, push the continue button....................... you know what's coming, yes back to square one
It's like playing a continuous game of snakes and ladders with BT, with loaded dice and at every other throw I go sliding down to square one.

Z10 Blackberry Email Address

Traditionally a Blackberry comes with a Blackberry email address ([email protected]). However, I can find no documentation on how to create one for the Z10. The traditional links I find to the BIS state it doesn't support Z10/OS10. Is this no longer a feature? If so, how can I set it up? Thanks.

Hi julaws4661 - We want you to get the most out of your Blackberry experience. BlackBerry 10 OS devices do not support BlackBerry email addresses. You can forward your existing blackberry.net account to another email address for up to one year. This can be completed through BlackBerry 10 on-device tool that is integrated into the Account Setup process or on the website, vzw.blackberry.com/html/hosted.

How to validate an email address against free domain users

Hi all,
I want to validate an email address so that only users of non free domains (let's say other than yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc) can create an account in my apex application.
I want to place a validation on the "Registration Page" but I am not sure how to proceed from then on :(
Does anybody know how I can do this ?
Kind Regards,
Ana-Maria

Hi Ana-Maria,
You can do this on two places. You can do it on the client (using javascript) or you can do this on the database (using a trigger or a check constraint). The best way is to do both.
Use something like this for the javascript bit:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkemail(){
var email = $v('P4_EMAIL');
//get index of @
var x = email.indexOf('@');
//get the string behind @
var behind_amp = email.substring(x+1, email.length);
//get the index of the .
var y = behind_amp.indexOf('.');
//filter out the provider
var provider = behind_amp.substring(0, y);
var result;
// set all wrong providers in this case
switch(provider){
    case 'hotmail': result=false;break;
    case 'yahoo': result=false;break;
    case 'gmail': result=false;break;
// Check the result
if (!result){
    //The provider is bad
    alert(provider + ' is not allowed!');
    //Keep the focus on the email field
    setTimeout(function(){$x('P4_EMAIL').focus();}, 5);
</script>Set the event to the onchange of the email field (in HTML Form Element Attributes):
onchange="checkemail();"Hope this helps,
Greetings Rutger

Cannot validate an email address

I have a Bold 9700 and a Curve 8320.
The Bold has, for want of a technical term, borked. It was in an endless reboot loop and I couldn't do anything to get it out of it.
Anyway, I've put the sim card into an old, unlocked but still fully working Curve.
It connects to the network fine - ie I can get SMSs and access the web via the browser.
But I can't setup my email.
You go to the add email page.
It says: '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 account password. At least one email account must be moved to set up email on this device.'
<It then list my two email addresses>
'Email delivery to your old device has been stopped'
At this point you can't add a new email address (I can't find any way to add a new email address)
If you click cancel, it totally cancels.
So, you can only click 'Move email account'
You do that, it lists the current email address with a space to enter the password, then click 'validate'
So I've done that - the password IS correct.
But every time, it just says: 'An error occurred while accessing your account. Please click below to try again. Link: Access Another Email Account'
If you click that link it takes you back to the start and you go around in the same circle.
So I'm left not being able to validate any of my email addresses - or being able to add a new one.

Hi and welcome
Having added to this thread, is it safe to assume you have tried any of the suggested already.
Have you tried pulling the battery with the power on, leaving the battery out for a couple of minutes. Then do the same thing but take the SIM out, replace the battery. Then repeat but replace the SIm.
Let us know the outcome, hopefully this will avoid a complete wipe and reinstallation of the OS.

Validate an email address

Hello
I am using this to validate email addresses and it does not
seem to work:
} else if (!email_txt.length ||
email_txt.indexOf("@") == -1 ||
email_txt.indexOf(".") == -1) {
status_txt.text = "Invalid Email.";
I would, in any case, prefer to use the following server
script for validation purposes:
<%
'Email
re.Pattern = "^\w+@\w+\.\w+"
If Not re.Test(email) Then
errorArray(1) = "red"
ErrorMsg = ErrorMsg &
"<center>Please type in a valid email
address</center>"
end if
%>
If I use this server script, how do I begin to show it in my
movie, please? What Action Script do I use to 'pull it in' from the
server and show it?
Many thanks
Steve

Blackberry email address

okay I am going to ask a stupid question, I just bought a blakberry tour 9630. my carrier is sprint. I was trying to download the moble myspace app but it is asking me what is my blackberry E-Mail adress does anyone know how I can find out what it is . I have my aol E-mail on my phone and my Gmail on it also.
thanks
Joe

You can use any email address you have pushed to your device, aol, gmail, yahoo or other.
You can create a [email protected] email address at your personal email setup where you setup the email addresses to push to your device, but I don't think that is what the myspace app is asking for.

How to validate a email address using Validation Pattern?

Hi,
is there any document for Validation Pattern? i m looking for a way to validate email addresses in my form.
it's going to be something like * @ .
i have no idea of how to do this, or maybe validation pattern is no good? use java script instead?
any advice is appreciated!
thanks.

Hi erv2,
You just need to place this script in the "exit" event of the field that u r using for email address.
var r = new RegExp(); // Create a new Regular Expression Object.
    r.compile("^[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\@[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\.[a-z]{2,3}$","i");
if( this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "")
else
var result = r.test(this.rawValue);
if (result == true) // If it fits the general form,
     true;
else
      xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a valid email address ");
      this.rawValue = "";
      false;               // fail the validation.
Thanks

Can I Use my BlackBerry email Address?

I just upgraded my PlayBook to v2 of the OS and was tryiing to set up the email, contacts, etc.
On the set up screen, I entered my BB email and password was was told to use the BB Bridge:
"Please use the BlackBerry Bridge to access this account on your PlayBook."
I was hoping to share my email messages, contacts and calendar between my Bold 9930 and the PlayBook. Is this not possible other than via the Bridge?
Thank you,
Thank you,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found the answer though not the one I wanted: KB29879 "Error "Please use BlackBerry Bridge to access this account on your PlayBook"when integrating email account on BlackBerry PlayBook".
I guess I will create a folder called Useless and dump the Messages, Contacts and Calendar apps in it. (I received the same message for them as well.)
Thank you,

How to validate Email Address in HTML DB Application

Hi,
I have delevoped one Employee Login Details form in HTML DB. But i am unable to validate that email address as i find html db is not supporting String functions like indexOf(char c), substring(int) ect. So please can anybody help me to know how to validate email address that it has @ and . symbol or not.
Thanks in advance.

user529382,
You may be able to use Regular Expressions instead, if you do a search in this forum for 'regex' you should find a few hits.
While I agree that using a regular expression is a great way to verify that the user has entered an email address that conforms to the regular expression rules, it is still nothing more than that....conforming to the regular express rules.
The only way to 100% confirm that an email address is 'valid', is to actually send an email to it, so what I tend to do is to get the user to enter their email twice (in a user registration screen for example), that way you can minimize the chance of 'typos', then send out a 'verification email' that the user has to click a link on to verify they have received it (I'm sure you've seen this type of system before), only when the confirmation is received would I then make the account 'active'.
Hope this helps.

Validate Email Address on ChangeOwnData iView

All,
We would like to have the ESS changeowndata iView validate the email address so that the user is unable to enter an invalid value when changing their address. From the searching I have done, it does not appear that ESS delivers a valid BADI to check the value and produce an error message.
Basically, when they are on step 2 of the roadmap (EDIT), they should not be able to navigate to step 3 (REVIEW AND SAVE) if the value they entered is invalid.
We are on ECC6 with EP7.
Am I missing something?
Brian Snyder

Hi Brian,
Most of the time i have found that if you are enhancing the RFC and passing the error mesaage to it, it is not handled by portal application and a dump occurs with your error message or in some casesnothing happens at all.
Seems like you need to do validation in the RFC and modify the webdynpro java application using NWDI track to display error message and stop further navigation.
