If you’d like to connect to your company’s email server, please make sure your business has a BlackBerry® Business Enterprise Server and that you have enrolled in the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution data plan from CREDO Mobile.

The enterprise activation process allows you to set up service on your BlackBerry after you have received your sign-in information from you company's BlackBerry enterprise administrator. Please request this information from your company's IT department or BlackBerry Enterprise Solution administrator before attempting to proceed with your email setup.

BlackBerry Enterprise Solution

Use the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server option to associate your smartphone with a Microsoft® Outlook, IBM® Lotus® Notes® or Novell® GroupWise® work email account and to take advantage of advanced wireless data synchronization capabilities. If your system administrator has provided you with an enterprise activation password, please use it to set up your email on your BlackBerry smartphone. Just select I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server in the Setup Wizard on your smartphone. If you do not have an Enterprise activation password, contact your system administration.

Your BlackBerry® Internet Service account can be associated with up to 10 Internet service provider (ISP) email accounts. The BlackBerry® Internet Service supports most Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) accounts, including Windows Live™ Hotmail®, Gmail® and Yahoo!® Mail.

You can find more information here on associating multiple accounts.

You should see icons for each of your email accounts on the dashboard of your BlackBerry® smartphone. When you receive a new message, it will automatically go into its respective folder and you’ll see a notification on your screen. Separate icons are created for each inbox as long as you add new email accounts to your device. You also have the option to filter which messages (SMS, email, desktop) will appear under the Messages folder. By default, however, all of your incoming email messages will go into the Messages folder.

1. Open the main menu using the BlackBerry key.
2. Click the Messages icon (the envelope). Scroll to the top of the inbox. Once you've highlighted the top of the inbox, hit the BlackBerry key to see a list of edit functions. Scroll down to Options.
3. Next, click on General Options.
4. Click on SMS and Email Inboxes and select Separate. This will create a new home screen icon — a folder named SMS.
5. Now you can (optionally) hide the Messages icon since SMS messages go to their own folder.

Business contacts are stored in the Contacts folder, while personal contacts are stored in a subfolder called Personal Contacts.

When attempting to synchronize address book entries on your BlackBerry smartphone with Microsoft Outlook in Windows Vista, you may receive the following error message: "Error encountered. Check documentation."

This occurs when there is a contact photo included in the Microsoft Outlook address book entry.

To resolve this issue, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the contact photo from the Microsoft Outlook address book entry. For instructions, consult Microsoft Outlook Help.
2. Configure the field mappings in BlackBerry Desktop Manager to not synchronize contact photos.
   1. In BlackBerry Desktop Manager, click Synchronize.
   2. Under the Configuration heading on the left side of the window, click Synchronization.
   3. Under Synchronization Configuration, click Synchronization.
      Note: The BlackBerry smartphone must be connected to the computer using a USB cable for Synchronization to be available.
   4. Select Address Book and click Advanced.
   5. Under Field Mapping, click Map Fields.
   6. Click on the bi-directional arrow between Picture and Contact Photo to remove the mapping, and click OK.

You can sync your contacts via text message or by visiting Google on your BlackBerry smartphone.

1. From your computer, enter your mobile phone number. Google will send you a text message with the download link. Click the link.
2. On your BlackBerry, browse to: http://m.google.com/sync.
   • Download the Google Sync client to your BlackBerry.

Once you have downloaded Google Sync, look for the Google Sync icon on the main menu of your BlackBerry home screen. You can then use the Menu button to manage the following:

• Synchronization frequency – manual or automatic synchronization. If you opt for automatic sync, Google Sync will update your BlackBerry after you update your calendar or contacts.
• Contact synchronization – turn on or off.
• Calendar synchronization – turn on or off, and choose whether to sync your prior events.

The first time you use Google Sync it may take a while. Try syncing just your contacts or just your calendar first. Once this initial synchronization has taken place, future updates will be much faster.
