how do i setup my email on there i followed the steps in the wizard for gmail and my university email and both inboxes have not synced yet its been about 40 minutes...dont know what else to do now

thank you

says your not a blackberry user, do you have one? which one? with what service? did you try logging into your providers BIS acct to add them? some universities emails like ours requires you be on BES so it won't work without forwarding email to another account, can you confirm that yours doesn't?

[mlarco52]

i have the 9700 with fido its unlocked from rogers and i have a 1gb blackberry data package im using bbm that works just fine

i can confirm the forwarding part doesnt need that because my cousin goes to the same university as me and her blackberry tour doesnt require this and she has her university email setup on there but i cant get ahold of her right now shes out of country for a bit

Have you received any new email to either account yet?

[mlarco52]

no havent recieved anything yet in either account

[blueyestm]

check your options/advanced options/service books. look to see if any of those email addresses are listed. if they are not, then the service books did NOT get sent to your phone yet.

[mlarco52]

ya they are listed

A university student that writes like that will never figure it out.

[mlarco52]

lol what do you mean im just answering his question he asked if my email addresses are listed in the service books and i stated that they are...

[Denise in Los Angeles]

Oh... that totally explains everything!! LOL.

[mlarco52]

lol thanks for that but seriously I don't understand what else to do. I setup the e-mail accounts via the email wizard. The emails show up on the home screen but the hasn't filled up with the emails in my actual email account. And also it stated that I would have a email sent to my email account to confirm that it is me and that still has not been sent. Did I do anything wrong? Do I need to do anything more?

Thank you again

How to set up email accounts in a BlackBerry For Dummies

[mlarco52]

LOL im not gonan lie I watched that already...but still no go im trying to set up a university email and a gmail email account. If that helps at all

[mlarco52]

so i've got the blackberry sending and receiving emails but how do I get the old e-mails that are already in my inbox to load up on the berry?

[Denise in Los Angeles]

Look in the gmail settings... under POP download...
check Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)

[mlarco52]

did that but after i click save changes and go back into it to check its nothing clicked anymore and the emails do not load up on the berry

i apologize if im being a pain in the *** really appreciate you helping me out

[Denise in Los Angeles]

hehehe... well... I did sign off my gmail..

[Denise in Los Angeles]

Well, I signed on again and tried it myself... gmail is now only IMAP, not POP, so I don't think you can view your old mail unless you use the gmail mobile app.

[mlarco52]

dang...oh well thanks again for the help tequila both emails seem to be sending and receiving without any problem thank you!

[mobile]

thanks .......

Want Gmail on your BlackBerry?

[Denise in Los Angeles]

Oh, you're welcome!

Don't give bad advice. The blackberry will only download new mail. To get old mail you need to download and install either the gmail application or logicmail.
