    Do you have any IT (computer) people at your work to help you with it? Without knowing what your server information is, it is hard for us to help

    carullo she is trying to add an existing account, not setup a blackberry email account. The link you gave is to setup a blackberry account so you can have an [email protected] address. She wants to add her work account to her phone if I understand her correctly.

    was it a restore from your old phone ? maybe you just need to send the service book again. do that by going in Setup, Email Account, when you see your email, select it, press the menu button, select Service Books, and click on Send service book

    The email address or password is incorrect, or we need more details to set up this email. Retype the information or provide additional settings.

    when you type your username do you just type username or whole address? Sometimes you may need to type your whole address as your username and see if that works.
