How do I add other email (POP) accounts to my BlackBerry?

Please note that the integration and configuration of non-UNCG email accounts is not a supported service. Visit the Blackberry support pages as well as the technical support resources of your non-UNCG email account provider.

This example uses GMAIL:
  • Go to the http://(Provider).blackberry.com
  • Click on Create New account.
  • Type in your device PIN and ESN.  You can find both of these by going into Options–>Status on the Handheld device.
  • Follow the rest of the setup choices to finish setting up your BlackBerry Web Account.  This will create an email account and address in the format of dcassese@maxis.blackberry.com       (where dcassese is the username you used when setting up the account).
  • Once you have your account, look for Add other email accounts. Then simply add your email address and login information.
