BlackBerry® Curve™

Curve 8520 SO 5.0.592

My problem is setting up an email account.

According to his instructions to enter through setup wizard should see two options

On the email setup screen, select one of the following options:

• I want to create or add an email address: This email setup option is most common for

individual users. Use this option to associate your BlackBerry® device with one or more

(up to ten) existing email addresses (for example, a Google Mail™ or Windows Live™

Hotmail® email account) or to create a new email address for your device. To use a social

networking application on your device, you must use this option to associate your device

with the email address that you use to receive social networking notifications. If this

option does not appear, contact your wireless service provider.

• I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server: This email

setup option is most common for corporate users. Use this option to associate your

device with a work email account using the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server if your

administrator has provided you with an enterprise activation password.

3. Click Next.

Complete the setup wizard

4. Complete the instructions on the screen.

Note: When your email address is set up correctly, you receive a confirmation message. To view

and manage your email messages, on the Home screen, click the Messages icon.

In my Blackberry curre 8520 an option only appears

 This option        I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server

Thank for your support

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!

To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.

Good luck!
