BlackBerry Internet Service web site basics

About visiting the BlackBerry Internet Service web site for the first time
The first time that you visit the BlackBerry® Internet Service web site, you can add a supported email address, create a BlackBerry email
address, or do both.
You might want to add an email address if you have an existing supported email account that you want to access from your BlackBerry
device or BlackBerry enabled device.
You might want to create a BlackBerry email address if you do not have another existing, supported email account or if you need an
additional email address that you can use to send and receive email messages.
About logging in using a user name and password
By default, when you open the email setup application or visit the BlackBerry® Internet Service web site using a browser on your BlackBerry
device, you access your BlackBerry Internet Service account automatically and do not need to provide login information.
To complete some tasks you might need to change the way you access your BlackBerry Internet Service account. For example, if you want
to add a Microsoft® Outlook® or Microsoft Outlook Express email address, you must use a browser on your computer. To log in to the
BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a browser on your computer, you must first create a user name and password in the email setup
application or on the BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a browser on your device.
After you create a user name and password, the next time you access your BlackBerry Internet Service account, you must complete the
following actions:
• type the user name and password to log in to your account
• validate your integrated email addresses
• validate your BlackBerry email address, if you created one
Note: You do not receive emails on your device until you log into the BlackBerry Internet Service web site and validate your email address
or email addresses.
