General BlackBerry® Functions and Features

Is there a way to delete or change my existing blackberry.net email account since I'm now getting plenty of spam after four years? I thought about deleting it since the option is there but I'm afraid it then won't allow me to create another, then not being able to recover the old address.

Hello,

Those accounts are managed by your mobile service provider...ring them up to ask about what you desire.

As an aside...I've never seen any reason for those @BB or @Carrier email accounts that are dedicated solely to the BB. The BB can integrate nearly any internet-facing email address, so I personally have no need for yet another one! Plus, those @BB and @Carrier email addresses are accessible ONLY from the BB itself...which can be quite troublesome, especially if used to register a BBID, BIS, or some other BB-proprietary system from which a password reset email may be required...those reset emails are typically NOT delivered to the BB itself as a security precaution...but, since that email account is ONLY accessible from to the BB, actually receiving such password reset emails can be quite troublesome indeed!

Good luck!

Thank you for this solution. I went ahead and did it through Verizon via phone call. It worked flawlessly and instantly.
