Notes

Manual Settings

If a BlackBerry account has the same username and password as your cPanel account, there can be a major conflict.

When an email account is set-up on BIS(BlackBerry Internet Service), you are asked for only 2 things: an email and password. If both the email and username exist and the passwords are the same, BlackBerry will accept the data and sync the phone with the account’s default email instead of your SEO Hosting address.

The error can be fixed by giving BlackBerry a false password. When email client cannot verify, you will be asked to Re-enter account information or Enter the settings manually.

1. Select Enter the settings manually, and select I will provide the settings to add this email account.
2. Enter the full IMAP information for your account.

This fix will allow BIS to sync with the proper account.

Note: This fix may not apply to the New BlackBerry OS, however, you may want to try the steps above if you continue to have issues setting up your email account.

The steps above will sync your blackberry device with your carrier’s wireless network.
