About the BlackBerry email address
You can create a BlackBerry® email address that you can use to send and receive email messages on your BlackBerry device. 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, "katewahl" in katewahl@blackberry.com). To change
your user name, you must delete your BlackBerry email address and create a new one.
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 have added email addresses for existing email accounts to the BlackBerry Internet Service, but you want an additional email
address.
• You want to forward email messages from an integrated email account to your device.
