BlackBerry email address basics
About the BlackBerry email address
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
You can create a BlackBerry® email address that you can use to send and receive email messages on your BlackBerry device. You can only
access the email messages that are sent to your BlackBerry email address using your device. You cannot read these email messages using a
computer.
You might want to create a BlackBerry email address in the following situations:
•
You do not have an existing email account that you want to access using your device.
•
You added email addresses for existing email accounts to the BlackBerry® Internet Service, but you want an additional email address.
If you are a BlackBerry Internet Service Email subscriber, when you create your BlackBerry email address, you can specify a user name for your
email address. The BlackBerry Internet Service uses your user name to create the part of the email address before the at sign (@) (for example,
justinjones in justinjones@blackberry.com). To change your user name, you must delete your BlackBerry email address and create a new one.
If you are a BlackBerry® Mail subscriber and you access your BlackBerry Mail account automatically each time you open the email setup
application on your BlackBerry device or visit the BlackBerry Mail web site, the first time that you access your BlackBerry Mail account, you
specify a user name for your BlackBerry email address.
If you are a BlackBerry Mail subscriber and you access your BlackBerry Mail account using a user name and password, the first time that you
log in to BlackBerry Mail, you specify a user name for your BlackBerry Mail account. BlackBerry Mail uses your user name to create the part of
the BlackBerry email address before the at sign (@) (for example, justinjones in justinjones@blackberry.com).
Note: You can only have one BlackBerry email address that is associated with your BlackBerry Internet Service account and your device at
one time.

If you are a BlackBerry® Mail subscriber and you change your BlackBerry email address, the user name that you type when you create your
new BlackBerry email address is different from the user name that you type to log in to the BlackBerry® Internet Service web site. Use your
original user name to log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service web site.
