Email Setup for BlackBerry Internet Service

Your BlackBerry smartphone allows you to send and receive email from up to 10 supported email accounts. Setup is simple. You can do it online at your computer, or right from your smartphone*.

To configure your email accounts directly from your BlackBerry smartphone, refer to the Getting Started Guide specific to your wireless service provider included in the device box documentation. Otherwise, you can follow the generic setup instructions below.
