- I updated to 719 this morning and can't seem to get my email accounts working. I have done 3 or 4 battery pulls. Everything else seems to be working fine. When I try to set up an email account, I put in the correct password and when I ask it to verify it, a screen comes up and says it failed and I have to log in again.
Anyone else having trouble with this?02-04-12 10:45 AMLike 0 - I had to change my password it was to short. It needs to be "8-16 characters, must include a mix of lower and upper case letters and numbers".
Then it worked.02-04-12 12:33 PMLike 0 - I too have no access to my email...and my email passwords are at least 6 characters long...I have three accounts and cannot verify any of them..it also will NOT let me delete the existing accts & start over...And I HAVE tried changing the password...it still gives error when attempting to verify...My carrier is Verizon...Any ideas??

I had the same problem with my BIS when I went to .706...I tried dropping it to the official, wiping, etc. and nothing worked. Once I broke down and called the tech support number on the vzw.blackberry site they had me fixed up in 5 minutes.02-04-12 04:19 PMLike 0

When I select to "activate email", ALL of my email addresses are listed. It prompts me to list passwords for ALL of them. NONE of them can be verified and at the bottom of the screen, the "activate" is not even an option because the accounts cannot be verified.
I also cannot delete OR add any NEW email accounts. ALL this even after the "downgrade"to the previous software version. I am simply no longer able to receive or compose email. period. This is unacceptable.02-04-12 07:23 PMLike 0 - I have tried this. It simply does not work. I have "downgraded" my version and have spent an entire day unable to use my 9650. NOTHING has solved the problem.

I don' feel like hanging out with Verizon tech support tonite, so I guess this needs to wait to tomorrow.02-04-12 10:06 PMLike 0

02-05-12 05:44 AMLike 2 - This is the exact same issue I had as well when I upgraded. Call Verizon tech support and they will be able to get your email back. The tech had to create a new blackberry ID for my cell (not the app store one) and it was fixed. The new OS seems to make your pin invisible to the BIS email server. 10 min on the phone with tech for free and your up and running again!
I also "PIN'd" myself & that part is working just fine...
And the BIG question: Do I really want to install the upgrade to 719 again before calling...I downgraded trying to solve the email problem...It it worth it to re-install??02-05-12 07:41 AMLike 0 - What number are you calling for tech support? I cannot find one on VZW...

Obviously don't call from your BB, Verizon Tech: (800) 922-0204. Tell them your email issue and ask the tech to check to verify you pin and blackberry ID.02-05-12 09:04 AMLike 0 - I have had/still have the same problems.
I called Verizon tech support and got some help. I had written all of my email passwords and went to the BIS site to resend the service books. My email accounts were there, but after I tried to resend the service books, it said NONE of my email accounts were verified.
I got all but one account resolved with the Verizon tech support. I called them from a different telephone; eventually, they helped re-set andverify all but one email account. The one account I could not get squared away was my gmail account. It kept rejecting the password.
I have since gone to gmail and changed my password.........several times!
I STILL can't get the gmail account verified for my blackberry. I thought that, perhaps, since I've reset my gmail password several times, that google's system hasn't processed all of the changes so it goes through to allow the blackberry verification, but that was last night...........and it still won't work.02-05-12 11:49 AMLike 0 - 02-05-12 12:30 PMLike 0
- I can log onto my gmail account from my computer without any difficulty, but when I am in the email set-up for my blackberry, I get an error message that my password is incorrect and the account cannot be verified.
EDIT: It's now a little after 5:00 pm EST; I tried to add the gmail account through my bb setup. FINALLY, it recognized the password, verified and activated the gmail account.Last edited by pick; 02-05-12 at 04:06 PM.
