"Work Account" under mail setup on Playbook

I'm trying to activate my playbook (OS 2.0.1.668) on BES10 but i'm not getting any option to select work account.  I've been told I need to do the following.  I only have the following listed. 

 

-Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

-Gmail

-Hotmail

-IMAP

-POP
-CalDAV

-CArdDAV

 

  1. Tap settings > Accounts > Add New Account > Email, Calendar, and Contacts > Advanced Setup.
  2. Tap the type of account that you're adding. For example, if you're adding an account that uses BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, tap Work Account.
  3. Enter your account information.
  4. Tap Save.

I've got a 32GB LTE playbook currently only connected via WIFI.

 

Thanks

I think you need os 2.1 to get that as i just activated mine on BES 10 with OS 2.1

Re: "Work Account" under mail setup on Playbook

Thx.  Yeah I did some research right after I posted and realized I didn't have the latest OS. For some reason even though I check for updates it tells me I have the latest version.  Something to do with it being a lte playbook.  

 

Use it mainly with wifi and no sim.  Will try popping in a similar and see if I can get the latest update
