Just curious if anyone else has recieved an email from BBMADMIN trying to confirm an email account that is not a blackberry.net address ? This is what it says.

I got it, and then it mysteriously disappeared from my inbox...

[lastraid]

I did not get it, nor have I heard of such a thing.



Are you running the new 5.0?

[mike42]

sounds shady...what does blackberry messenger have to do with email?

[Netman2008]

I did not get it, nor have I heard of such a thing.



Are you running the new 5.0?

Yes I am running the 5.0 with the 4.7.1.40 OS

This is exactly why I am asking. I have never got anything like this before which makes me somewhat suspicious.

Also can't really contact RIM and ask because 5.0 is not out yet. They might not find humor in that.

Wonder if it has something to with 5.0? I still would not do anything but delete it- as long as the BBM is working no biggie.

Does sound like a phishing tactic to me.

You noticed that little code at the very end? This is why it never got to your blackberry. This email was pushed to your device and then immediately deleted upon receiving.

Everyone who installed 5.0 BBM got this is some sort of way.

Don't worry about it.

[Netman2008]

No I'm not worried about it but I am curious if this is legit or is it trash and why is messy trying to check an email address

Just one of those things that makes you go hummmmmmmmm

It sure does !!!

5.0 sends them out.

You shouldn't have to do anything with it, although if you have multiple accounts it may send it to all of them. I'm not sure what it does exactly but it's not a phishing tactic. It's not asking for any information.

I had 5.0 running and had to restore from a backup and then lost it... Does anyone know how to get 5.0 on the new OS?

got the same email... deleted it on my server and then they sent it again!

[John Yester]

If you look at the options for the new Beta Blackberry messenger you can link a primary email......

That is why it sends it there.....


Sorry that's all I know for now..

I got the email and I don't think it is anything to worry about once you are running BBM 5.0.

I believe this email contains special code which RIM uses to validate the email accounts associated with BBM in order to facilitate recovery of your BBM contacts via email.

If you guys go to edit my info, at the bottom you will see an option for Recovery emails. I believe that once this BBAdmin email is used to confirm your email address it adds the email as one of the means by which you can recover your contacts.

i only saw the email when i checked my email on my computer...never saw it on my Tour

[seanbee]

It doesn't show on the phone itself because once it is pushed to your device it is processed in the background by BBM and as such there is no need to display it in the message queue.

This is just how I understand it to work from what I have read

[wnm]

I got at my work email. Don't know how it wound up there. The only place that address is related to my BB is at TMO BIS.

[splinter81]

It doesn't show on the phone itself because once it is pushed to your device it is processed in the background by BBM.......

Ok, and that's what I was wondering. I was trying to figure out if I needed to have this verification email resent to try to help with the avatar issue I'm having... Thanks for the info.

[mantray82]

I get it but it never leaves my inbox and goes to my device

[ARSC]

i could see it in my email inbox not on the phone...
