I am new to the Blackberry world and am trying to make a decision. I'm wondering which way to go with email. I do not want to connect to the email server at work so that is not one of my options. However I do have Yahoo mail accounts but also am open to using the Blackberry server. Which is the most widely used method? I am able to get to Yahoo email but can not see it full screen and responding to Yahoo email is difficult. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. TIA!
I have Yahoo and it works great it gets delivered to my BB instantly. What problems are you haveing vieweing and replying to email. Oh and you also get full two way sync with Yahoo email.
Maybe my biggest hurdle is setting up Blackberry Internet Service (BIS). When I got my BB I did not set it up for email and when I try to do it now I've run into issues with BIS.
just curious on how this would work for gmail. when I got the curve and was going through the setup it gave me the option to set up an email account from my business enterprise server, but did not have the option to set up a "personal" email account like the manual said it would. any details? thanks

Well, there are 2 solutions for Gmail. You can download the Gmail application to read your mail directly, or you can setup your Gmail address by going to the BIS setup page. Let me know if you need more help, I have done both.
ok great! the reason I brought it up was because I did not see an option (like the user manual said i would) to add a personal email address.. but it was asking for me to set up a business email... so basically I can setup all of this via the BIS website for AT&T? will I basically set up the @blackberry.net email and just have my gmail forwarded to that? thanks
my email just isn't wanting to work!! im having the same issue with the BB not giving me the option for personal email, AND ive gone to the BIS site and signed up (both with a personal address and a new blackberry.net address)
You have to have the Blackberry Personal plan in order for the e mail setup to give you the option to set up your personal e mail. Otherwise, it will only ask you if you want to set up a business e mail.
If you add your gmail account it'll be it's own account and won't need it forwarded to your bb email. The gmail will be on your bb along with your bb email and whatever other email you decide to add.
Just a warning that many users are currently experiencing delay issues with Gmail on Blackberry set up through BIS and have had to resort to set the Gmail account to forward all email to a blackberry.net account in order to get email instantly.
Not everyone is having this problem but I certainly do and so do many others right now.
I am having Gmail delay issues and was wonering if it was just me. I've deleted the account off the device and off the BIS page. I'm going to let it sit for a while and see if the clear out will work out the glitch. Is it a Gmail issue?
