Is that at the initial BIS acoount login screen? That doesn't take the BlackBerryID, but a BIS account login username (not an email address).

Re: BB curve email setup problem.

It is using the email setup wizard. I have told it I want to setup an email account on the phone. The screen that then comes up requires a username and password, I enter her email adress and password and it then gives me that response. This is the same details as her blackberry I D

Ok, if this is a brand new device, that is not the place to enter the BlackBerryID.

It's asking for the BIS account username and login

 

If it's not know, call your mobile provider tech support and ask them.
