E-mail setup issue with Clean OS 6 install

[thomas_and_mercy]

I just upgraded to a (used) BlackBerry 9700. I wiped the phone and then updated to OS 6 (Version 6.0 Bundle 2949) from the BlackBerry.com web site. I'm trying to set up my IMAP e-mail account and am running into an issue during setup. I go to Setup, click the E-mail Accounts icon, then select Internet Mail Account - which sends me back to the Setup screen.

Web surfing with the browser works fine.

If I go to Connections, then Manage Connections, then Service Status, I see

Mobile Voice
Phone Number: (my phone number)
Status: Available
Connection: Mobile Network

Blackberry Internet Service
Connection: Mobile Network

Blackberry Enterprise Server
Connection: Not Connected

Mobile Network
Coverage: 3G
Provider: AT&T


When I set up my old BlackBerry 9000 (OS 5?) I seem to remember I had to delete and re-install some service books to get things to work. If I search for "service book", I can find the Service Book under Options. I see a whole bunch of entries.

I've restarted a reset a couple of times. Options > Device > Software Updates shows everything is up to date.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I had the same problem last week.

You need to use Blackberry Desktop Software to re-install the email setup application, and you need to do it on a PC, not a MAC.

If you connect your BB to the PC and open the desktop software there should be an applications button/tab. If you open that it will bring up a list of all the apps available for your device. Email Setup should be in that list and you'll be able to re-install it.

Worked for me - I had re-installed my Torch's OS after it got stuck in a re-boot loop and my Email Setup did exactly the same. I couldn't get it back using my MAC, but installed the software on a PC and it worked fine.

Thanks!

Installing from the BlackBerry Desktop software got me to the e-mail setup.

(Now I just need to figure out why my non-gmail IMAP e-mail isn't setting itself up...)
