    Hi there,

    I just changed hosting companies, and the user name they have, has a plus ("+") sign in it. When I enter this user name into my blackberry "user name" field, to set up my new e-mail configuration, the blackberry system is telling me this is an invalid character.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

    Thanks in advance! Craig

    The BIS user name can't have a "+" in it. You must be confusing two things.

    There are no valid email addresses with a "+" in them. It's against the convention. It's like saying your web address is HTTP:++ www . notgonnahappen . com
    Without the "//" it just isn't valid.

    Thanks you are right. I messed up and was getting the BIS instead.

    Appreciate your help!

    Gmail lets you add a "+" to your e-mail address.
