Ok, i just joined up so forgive me if this is easy to fix but here is the deal. . ive had bb curves and a bold 9000 and 9700. recently had a accident with phone, so i picked up a mint bold9000, so i get the phone going, my browser works great, however i can not get my email to work. I have a personal Yahoo account that i have used on my bold for the past 4 yrs. so i go into the setup wizard and all it gives me is the option of a work account on BES sooo i dont know how to get around it, i also registered and made an account on blackberry site and put in my email and nothing will come to my phone PLEASE HELP! THANKS!

Go to your carriers BIS website and log in. Your email still may be registered to your old BB. The website will allow you to change it to your new phone.

If the set up did not work, you can call 611 and ask them to make sure your email was registered on the new device.
