Why 2 email icons

I love my new BB after about two weeks of use. I am still confused about why I have two email icons. I thought I'd figure out the reason/usage by now, but am still not sure. Thanks, Sharon PS also, how do you move back through a word to fix a spelling error without erasing the whole word?

The envelope without the globe is your message queue. All emails should go into there, as well as missed calls.
text can go in there unless you want to split those out. The globe with your email address is a message queue for just the email address. I use the message queue, hide the globe. I made a folder on the home screen for apps I don't use and keep them in there to eliminate clutter.
If you need more assistance please ask, if not please resolve the post with the options over the Kudo's star.
Thanks!

TS3899 Why don't I receive notification of emails by sound or number on my email icon

I no longer receive a number on my email icon to alert me on mail delivered to me.
If I open my emails the number of mail received is there and then the notification alert sounds.

Outlook is a mail client program that runs on PCs and Macs. Your email provider would be the second part of your email address, i.e. "[email protected]".

Mail new email icon

The new email icon in my dock is telling me I have 10 new mails which aren't there, at present i have no new emails and it says 10, when i get one new email it goes up to 11?
Do you know why it would do this, I thought perhaps it was thinking a draft was an email but i've only got 3 in there not 10.

Double check all your folders and even the junk and sent items boxes as sometimes mail can be marked as unread in there and add to the count in the dock.
Just one more suggestion but it's rather drastic. You could move the Mail folder in /Users/<<UserName>>/Library to the desktop and see if the problem disappears. Moving this folder out will result in you having to set up all your mail accounts again.
Depending on what you have saved in Mail it can be a rather exhaustive process moving all the emails and folders back.

Email Icon shows envelope outlined in red with red envelope on top

Does anyone know why all of a sudden my email icon shows a white envelope outlined in red with a smaller red envelope on top? It was previously (for the last year) a white envelope. Verizon is my provider.

Will we get a seperate email icon sometime?

Just wonder if we will get seperate email icons sometime in an update? I understand the hub but I really liked having email icon fro each account. I've tried to get use to swiping back to go from reading an email to checking a text and what have you but I don't like it all together like it is. Kept all my email icons and text icon on the main screen so just pushing one button took me to that screen and then pushing which ever email account or text icon and I was reading what I wanted. To me swiping back and then selecting the text is more steps. If your reading an email you have to swipe back to the email box and then again to get to the hub, then select the text box. For those that like the hub that is fine I would just like email icons back. Had 8 email accounts on the 9900 and they will stay there and I use wifi for it. Only keep one account on the Z10 so I can get those when I'm not near wifi.
Also for some the lack of it compressing data like it did might push some data plans. The lower data use was another selling point of the blackberry and they changed another good thing. I know they say it is faster because it doesn't have to compress the data but on my old BB I could carry on a conversation with a friend while he was at work on his computer. We could email back and forth like text but now with how slow the Z10 does email it can take 15 mins to get his emails. Before somebody says anything when he is at work he can't text because of no signal at his desk so email is the only way

Friend doesn't use a blackberry so no BBM. Just don't see why we can't have email icons, those that don't want them can hide them. Problem with the hub is I don't see it working very good with the Q. Seems like swiping will be allot harder with the keyboard. In fact it seems like the trackpad would be a good thing to have. Never used the touch screen on the 9900.
Understand this is just the way email is going to work on the new BB, just sad they did away with a great selling point of the BB. All my email was there within seconds no matter what the account was and it seems like that is something people want in a business devise. Now I understand they have changed the marketing idea and are going after what they think is the bigger market. This might pay off for them but it seems like they are going to lose a good sized group of the diehard users. Not sure how it is going to work out for them but have talked with a couple of places that sell phones around here and nowbody has been selling very many Z10's

I use Incredimail how to add a email icon

1. I use Incredimail as my mail server
Yahoo as my homepage
and just switched from IE 9 to Firefox
I love it, except, where is the email icon on my toolbar?
2. I also have a business website, www.LaCanadaPetSitting.com and for some reason not all my testimonials show using Firefox, why is that?

I have several rules moving targeted emails into specific folders; however, this does not accomplish the task I am attempting to perform. The "control-click" only works on unopened emails, and I prefer not to close the email to have to move it.
This question is really two-fold:
1) Can I place an icon on the toolbar if that icon is not an available choice in the "Customize Toolbar" selection from control-clicking on the toolbar? or can I add an icon to the available choices?
I'm quite sure that the answer is no. as i said if it's possible it would require hacking Mail and you'd have to ask in the Developers forum (it's under OS X technologies) about that.
2) Is there a way to configure Mail so when I Delete or Move an open email, instead of the email just disappearing, the "next" or "previous" email in the Inbox would open in its place?
no.

No longer receive emails, all email icons gone!

Hi all, how are you?
I noticed 4 days ago that I stopped receiving emails from the 4 accounts I had set up on my Blackberry Torch 9800 (one official, 2 yahoo, 1 gmail). I could see the icons and send test emails but I wouldn't receive them on my phone. If I checked on a PC I would see the test email in my inbox, laughing at me. Here are the steps I've taken:
1. A Google search of the problem said to resend service books, which I did from the phone. No change.
2. Another Google search said to delete the CMIME and CICAL service books, re-add the emails and resend service books (from the phone). Now the email icons are all gone except the work one, even after re-adding all the addresses. The test emails I sent from the work email are sent, but I don't see them in either sent items or the inbox on a PC. In the setup screen, it says "Email accounts (1)" but when I open it, all 4 accounts I added are showing. I have also resent the service books for all the emails several times. Sometimes the message is "Successful", sometimes it says that it could not complete the request. I also noticed that the CICAL and CMIME service books did not come back for any of the accounts.
Of course all these steps are generously peppered with battery pulls.
My phone has also become sluggish and laggy, which it wasn't before.
Please can anyone help with this?

Hey raufikat,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
If the service books are not updating successfully there may be an issue with your account/BlackBerry data services. I would suggest contacting your service provider for further investigation. If they are unable to resolve the issue request to have this issue escalated to BlackBerry Technical support for further trouble shooting.
Let us know if you have any question.
Thanks.

Either it ended up in a spam filter or it isn't being sent to that address. If you can't find it, use the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article to contact the iTunes Store staff.

This is for Ipad rather iphone that am having this problem

After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S I show 8,976 on my email icon. How can I eliminate them all without going one at a time?

After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S it shows 8,976 on the email icon. How can I move them all to trash without doing it one at a time?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

I have duplicate email accounts icons, NOT recieving duplicate emails just two of the same email icons

I had a blackberry curve 8310 with ATT. I transferred carriers and got a new bold 9650 with sprint. I transferred data from old curve to new bold. But the old email didn't work on new bold. So I went to set up BIS with sprint, it added email account that works. But now I have two icons with the same email address. One works and one doesn't so it is confusing when I am selecting address to compose email. How do I delete email icon/account. I hid the icons but when composing email, it still shows two of the same email in the From:

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

How can I disable the Email icon in the tool bar from Windows regisrty?

Does anyone know what key and value in the registry enables\disables the email icon? Is it even a registry key? I know that it can be done manually via the UI. Can it be done using Adobe Customization Wizard 8? I have Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 and Reader 4 installed on a Citrix server and would like the default value for the email icon to be set to disabled or even hidden when users open a PDF file.

The values in this registry key change what tool bar options are enabled:
\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cFile\cInternalButtons

I have an icon for my email on my desktop, but I would like my email icon to be on my firefox browser, so I don't have to close it every time I want to check my mail. Anyone know how to do this??

When I used Explorer as my browser, there was always a way to click on email right there on the browser. After I loaded firefox I haven't been able to find a way to add an email icon to my browser page

You can use the Get Mail add-on to add an icon that will open your email program - http://webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html

For no apparent reason I can no longer get my email icon to work. All I get is a completely blank screen.

For no apparent reason I can no longer receive or send emails. In fact when I touch the email icon all I get is a blank screen. I have checked my email settings all seems fine. Regards Kim

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
