Setting up email on your Blackberry phone is probably one of your top priorities, and if you do not have an IT department to do it for you, it will fall on your shoulders to do this.
Here’s how to setup Blackberry Curve email:
To setup email you will need the following information user name, email address, and password. You will also have to create a ‘Blackberry account’. This is done simply from the phone, and you will receive an email to acknowledge. Once this is complete, you can then begin to setup email on your phone.
When you first switch on your Blackberry, it will run into a setup wizard, you can either follow this path, or alternatively, access it via the Setup button as shown.
Essentially, the wizard and the Setup button will take you down the same path. I found it easier to revisit via the setup option, after I became more familiar with the phone.
Click Setup as shown.
Click E-Mail Settings (If accessed from the setup option)
This screen appears, and you need to click ‘Create New Account‘ (Shown in blue) to obtain a Blackberry account. Once you have the Blackberry account, you can just log in and begin setting up email on your phone.
In essence, you will then be presented with two fields to be completed, your email address and password. See below
As you can see you do not need to enter too much information when setting up email on your phone. There is also another optional field where you can enter your name, so your recipients will see it’s from you and not somebody called ‘Info’. The password and email address have to match the ones you have setup on your computer.
I have two email accounts setup on my phone, and first time round I had to also include a user name in a user name field. Second time round, it never asked me for this information. Keep the user name handy though, in case you do.
A nice touch is that you can press space to create an ‘@’ symbol, and a full stop. Handy for the bit where you have to type ‘.com’.
After you click next, the phone does the rest and confirms that the email has been setup. A new icon appears on the main menu, sorted! Pat yourself on the back and get emailing.
***UPDATE – COMMON PROBLEMS***
Problem: It doesn’t allow me to create a new account, it only gives the blackberry enterprise option.
Solution: You must have the required data plan (normally called ‘Blackberry Data Plan’) from your provider in order to use the feature. So call your provider/carrier (Orange, Vodafone etc or whoever you are with), to discuss the plan you are on to sort it. If you have bought an unlocked phone second hand and are just using your old sim then you won’t be able to use this email on your phone.
Problem: I have no ‘setup email’ option on my phone.
Solution: It should be on the handset fresh out of the box. Normally doing a ‘battery pull’ should sort it. Completely remove the battery for a good 5 minutes, then turn the phone back on, usually does the trick. Failing that login to your online blackberry internet service on your providers website and setup from there.
Problem: My emails have stopped coming through.
Solution: This could be as simple as your email inbox is full, so the messages aren’t getting to that let alone your BB. If that is fine, then login to your online blackberry internet service on your providers website and check everything (like passwords are correct and they are showing as ok).
Problem: my problem isn’t covered here!
Solution: first we recommend you call your service provider/carrier. You are paying them for the phone/contract so call up the customer services and tell them your problem, that is what they are there for!! It is highly likely they can sort it for you. If they can’t leave a comment below.
i have curve 8250 my blackberry doesnt has an email setup icon
what 2 do??
Is there an option to run the email setup from the set up menu? If not, on the screen with all the icons, click on anyone with the menu key. If an option comes up show all, click it. An email icon may well appear there, asit does with the 8900. Hope this is of some help
Regards
My blackberry curve 8520 wont allow me to set up a normal email address, and only offeres the Blackberry enterprise server option, how can i fix this?
Could be a silly question, but have you setup a Blackberry account?

I do not want to call tmobile as I am only 11 years old! Please help is there something I can do online or from my blackberry.
Well,
here’s my problem,
I just got a Blackberry Curve, but it doesn’t allow me to create a new account. It only offers the Blackberry enterprise sever option….what should I do? please help me.
I had the same problem with my curve phone. I had to call up Orange and get them to add a BlackBerry bundle to my account. If you call your mobile phone provider they should be able to help!
Same, myne doesnt hav an email setup icon either and its really bugging me! help!
I can help with the icon not showing up. It might be because of the theme you’ve selected. Some of them won’t show all the icons. Try the default theme and see if it shows up.
same as mine blackbery curve 8520.. i bought last week w virgin network, but it doesn’t allow me to create a new account only offers the Blackberry enterprise sever option, really make me sad, anyone can help? i tried changing back the default theme but still the same:(
It says that I have already set up my blackberry account and that I can’t make a new 1. I’m sure I never made 1 tho :s how can I find out my username and password?
mine doesn’t have the ‘email settings’ icon under setup. how can i set up an email account?
when i go into setup there is no ‘email setup’ option!
but when i go into setup wizard and click on the ‘email setup’ button its only saying
‘ i want to use a work email account with a blackberry enterprise server’
its really bugging me!
what should i do?
please HELP!
My blackberry curve 8520 wont allow me to set up a normal email address, and only offeres the Blackberry enterprise server option, how can i fix this?
also can anyone tell me any application through which I can access my computer connected through wifi.
hi i think what every1 is forgetting to mention is that if you have bought your blackberry curves from a shop,sealed etc or if you bought it from someone thats had it. i bought mine from someone who used it for about a week, they set up an email, and when i tried to set one up, it did the same thing. ive heard that if you set up an email on it, a new email cannot be reset but only new ones added. is this true? or is it possible to set it up? any help will be sooooooooooooo much appreciated as ive spunked 150quid on this phone. thanx for your time
Why if so many of us are having the same problem can’t I find a solution – brand new, delivered from vodafone and no email icon…
How am I supposed to work?????
can anyone help and let me know how they managed to get themselves sorted with seting up their email accounts without the wizard giving them the option and no email icon in the setup option?
I had exactly the same problem when I first got my Curve 8520, so all I did was call my phone provider (Orange) who put me through to a Blackberry support person. They then talked me through the steps to sort it out. Basically something hadn’t been activated on my phone, and then I had to change a few settings which the person on the phone talked me through. So don’t just rely on websites to help you out with problems like this, you are paying for your mobile phone, and part of that is the customer service, so phone them up and they will help you!!

I have the same prob with u guys. I bought my Blackberry 8520 from Vodacom South Africa. With the initial setup I accidently went on the e-mail work enterprise option. No even after software reloading and hard resets it on offers me setup an work enterprise server email option. Also my phone doesnt have the “Email Setup” icon, GPS/MAPS Icon.

I have had my bberry for some time and I set up my email with my personal email account. The last couple of days now every 20 minutes I keep getting a notification that my email password is invalid, when I validate it I just get the same message 20 minutes later. And no mail is getting through. Any ideas?
I too had problems with a Blackberry Curve 8520 brand new. The email set up defaulted to enterprise sever and did not give the option to use other email addresses. Reading the comments posted helped me sort the problem out. When the number was transfered from my old Blackberry and I took out the battery for 5 minutes the options changed and allowed me to transfer my email accounts, a straightforward process.
to all BB user, pls register first your BB to the website of your telecom company (ex. globe telecom here in the philippines, log-on to globe.blackberry.com) then create your account & register your BB). Then you should subscribed to a Blackberry Internet Service plan (unlimited BIS) & talk to your provider. From there, all your problems/querries will be solved (i.e., no icon for email set-up etc.) Previously, i was faced by the same problem when I first have my BB curve 8520. Then I did everything I mentioned earlier and now, I am one of those many happy BB user. i won’t trade my BB for any smartphone brand. Thanks.
What if I got my existing email address of which I created using Gmail, will it work on the blackberry and receive my email?
@MXOLISI, yes you can get a ‘Gmail for mobile application’ so it will work no problem.
I have a blackberry Curve every time I delete my emails they are resent to me and keep being sent 200+ emails a day!!! ahhhh! help I have a gmail account which has been working fine up to now??
I just got a new curve 8520 and have my work and yahoo email setup on it. Is there a way to show them in two separate windows so that I don’t get work and personal items mixed up? I see that it did create a separate icon when I setup my personal email address, but the messages also come up in the “normal” messages icon.
@RoyalG Ive never heard of that happening before. I would delete the email account completely from your phone. Then do a battery pull. And then setup the email from scratch again. See what happens. If the problem persists I would call your provider and see how they can help.
@Aaron all messages (including SMS) go into the ‘normal’ messages folder. Just click the menu button over the icon and then click ‘Hide’. It isn’t a problem because the messages in it get deleted when you delete them in the separate folders.
If you login to your providers ‘blackberry internet service’ the different accounts will appear on your phone as separate folders. So one for your work email, and another for your yahoo email. You can also rename them if you wish, I changed my 2 to ‘business’ and ‘personal’, looks better then having the actual email addresses.
I got a BB Curve 8520 for work and they set up my account. Emails come through just fine but 2 hours later, they are all gone. I’ve had the phone for 2 days and it’s happened both days. I’m not sure if it’s operator error but it will keep only 1 email from each day (?!). I gave a 2 GB card in the phone. It’s my first BB so I don’t know if this is normal. Help!
Urgent …… My blackberry curve 8520 is not allow me to set up a normal email address, and only offers the Blackberry enterprise server option, how can I do it? I got it just for Emails… I have other mobile for phone calls
@Essam your question has already been answered in the article under the ‘common problems’ section.
Hi, what does this mean:
After clicking ATIVATE, this message appeared-
“Activatio request failed. A service connection is unavailable”
you all need to register your blackberrys to obtain the settings ..
you can do this via your service providers i.e vodafone , t-mobile etc they will then send the setings through to your sim card .
Note that these setting are sent to your sim and not your phone therefore when you change sim you lose the settings
enjoy the BB
Ok, my problem now is i do not have “personlise email setup” on my setup folder.
How can I create email then?
I have followed all the steps but I still cant win.my phone is refusing my user name pls help me pls pls!!!!!
I have had my bb for a year now and have been sending and receiving emails all along. Yesterday I received an email from bb telling me to update my email password. When I go to the email validation and update my password, it won’t save. until I get this figured out, I can’t send or receive email. What do I need to do?
there is a problem in my BB 8520 that is the email setup i went thru is not the same as shown in the pictures here at top……as i entered the email setup it shows HAS YOUR BB ENTERPRISE SERVER ADMINISTRATOR PROVIDED YOU WITH AN ENTERPRISE ACTIVATION PASSWORD YES / NO then if you press next with either answer it is then saying to skip & go for next setups………… i don’t know why BB people have made it so complicated……complicated email setup…NO proper Adobe PDF reader, no option to say callers name, no option to open ZIP files….. china mobiles are better than BB, BB is not BLACKBERRY it is BLACK BASTARD
I just bought blackberry 8520 curve but doesn’t have an email set up icon. i’ve been trying to explore just to set up but merely the blackberry enterprise server option offers.
Hi Ronaldo, your question is answered under the ‘common problems’ section of the main article. Thanks.
Hii i just got my blackberry today its the curve 8520 im on a 2 year contract with orange and its 300mins unlimited everything else and i really would like to set up an existing email account but the only option i get is “I want ti use a work email account with the blackberry enterprise sever” then the next slide is “Has your blackberry enterprise sever administrator provided you with an enterprise activation password” this is quite frustration when your 17 and you usually know how gadgets work!!?? ANd another problem is that i cannot get on to facebook with the blackberry app i downloaded it comes up with “Could not connect because a data sever is not available. PLease try again later. If this continues contact your service provided for support which i will but if you could help on this i would be very grateful
Hi Robert, your question is already answered above under the ‘common problems’ section of the main article. Your provider Orange hasn’t activated the appropriate blackberry plan (exactly the same thing happened with me when I got mine!) you just need to call them up, tell them the issue and they should activate it.
Wow you do answer quickly !! Thanks oh sorry about that.
Thanks very much and is that the same with the internet problem and facebook problem then is it?
I have 2 e mail accounts on my Blackberry curve, one personal, one work. Problem since adding the personal acc, e mails received in that in box also appear in the work one, but not vice versa. How to fix
I’ve got a 8520,upgraded, contract is £30 month, unlimited internet, emails and texts, bbm and 500 free minutes. facebook works through my browser, but i downloaded the app and every time i try to log in it say ‘ getting calender events’ then logs in then in a matter of seconds says either ‘ there was a problem while communicating with facebook’ or ‘your session has timed out’.
twitter works fine though.
also some texts are coming through a couple of hours late. they only come through if i have made a call?
please help me
@harriet I’ve had similar problems with the facebook app, others seem to have the same problem. Sometimes for me it works fine, and then others does as you were saying. I’ve given up on it and just use the mobile version of the site, I actually prefer it as well to the app, its easier to use. As for the texts I’ve no idea what that would be, perhaps you could give your contract provider a call and ask if they know of issues with the network?
how do i find my activation server address on my 8520????

SOLUTION TO ENTERPRISE EMAIL PROBLEM!
Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Once in the Host Routing Table list, highlighting the top option, select the ‘Menu’ button and select ‘Register Now’.
You will receive another confirmation email that your blackberry has been registered.
Now have a look at the email setup again and you should now have the other icon in order to set up personal email without enterprise.
Thanks.
Alex.

Thanks
Yenza
Thanks Alex fixed the problem straight away!!

I have trubble receiving my e-mails. I have a blackberry curve 8520 smartfone, but the laast 6weeks was terrable. I spens more time at my servis provider than words can tel. My contract is on my husbunds name, and thats a nother story. Every time i went in so that they an help me with my e-mail, vodacom had to call my husbund first to ferify my contract. They cant reset my e-mail acount becouse of some resaon, that nobody can answer me. I can sent an e-mail but not receive them. The only e-mails i receive is the ones that was send by the provider or from vodacom it self. All my e-mails came thru on my 3g to the computer but not on my BlackBerry. My provider also tel me , i dont have the option to set more than one e-mail account on my blackberry, but my frend has 5 accounts on hers. I also have a few small things aboud blackberry that i would like to know. Please can you help me. Thanks Mariette
Hi there, i recently boought a second hand curve 8520 which was locked to optus, i recently unlocked it and am trying to set up an account but it will not let allow me to create a new account! I am currently with Vodaphone and yes i was using my old sim. When you say you cannot do it, do you mean you need to purchase a whole new sim card or am i able to contact the provider to make some settings on their end, would this work? please help meeee
Hi all. Had the same problem regarding only the Enterprise server option. If your ‘gprs’ icon is in lower case, your phone is not setup by your host. It is usually only a matter of sending a text message saying ‘YES’ to the number your host will give you, waiting 10 minutes, restarting your phone with a battery pull, and you will find the ‘Email, icon in your email setup folder.
Good luck
hi. i can’t find the “setup email” icon in my curve 8520 .. i even tried to take off the battery and nothing happend .. help plsss
i baught a blackberry 8320 and i am struggling with email setup,hw do i setup email and facebook ????
well i have the curv8520 and it doesnt say email settings and if i do click on email setup it says i have to use an enterprise activation what do i do :S ?
I need help can´t add my email to my Blackberry 8520 Curve, message comes up saying “Your device encountered a problem with this appliation´s server” anyone know what to do?
REALLY don’t understand all the problems here. I posted here a while back because essentially I wanted a hack around paying the Blackberry fee (£5 from Orange). You can’t basically. Anyway, since paying it was straightforward and done in 5 mins max. You’ll notice some extra icons on your Home screen like Facebook and Twitter. Just go to the Setup folder (it has a little green gear in the middle) and add your email. Tip: if you want previous emails add recent: before your email address eg. “recent:nickname@gmail.com” …. password
P.S. My Jenny Carpenter comment was a parody btw !)
My blackberry curve 8520 doesn’t even have the e-mail icon when I go to set-up so I can’t set it up, though it has the e-mail function so when I go to the e-mail bit on my phone it says I can only save to draft as I don’t have an e-mail service configured… Please Help If you can

Danni
when i open emial setup it asks for my username and password but i never set one up how do i find out what they are? thanksss
If you turned on your BB before you set up your data package you have to REMOVE THE BATTERY WHILE THE PHONE IS ON. WAIT 10 SECONDS. This reset your phones connection. then proceed to MENU-MANAGE CONNECTION-MOBILE NETWORK OPTION – MENU – DIAGNOSTICS TEST – MENU -RUN. It should said yes to all the blackberry test. Then your personal email setup should be there

If having trouble w/ email setup and didn’t have the “add email account” available under Setup Wizard, this worked for me and gave me a new Email Settings option in the Settings folder: Register yourself from Host Routing Table . Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > click on menu and select register now. Wait a few minutes (maybe more) and then go into settings to look for a new Email Settings option. Proceed to fill in email information from there, should work as long as you have blackberry data plan.
…..Problem solved,,,,,
…..Got an iphone……
when it rains we get wet but when its sunny we get weter so stay at home and play on your iphone.
Sent from my iPhone, lol

SIM not allowed 3 blackberry 8520 showing dunno why had the phone 7 months whats it doing ?
If personal email setup is not showing it means you blackberry internet service is not activated!! try a battery pull. if it doesnt work, call your network up to activate it….they may tell you to do another battery pull. when your activated youll get a message saying its on..it may tell you to delete the message and reboot your phone. when its all sorted the email setup icon will appear. it all seems long but its easy…i bought my 8520 new and i was up and running within 30 mins of taking it out of the box
Is there any way to have a tone for my e-mail, separate from my ringtone for my alarm?

hi…., I cannot send new email or forward any email from my BB 8520. After drafting the mail , if you press the BB key… it gives you options for HELP/SELECT/CLEAR FIELD/SAVE DRAFT / EDIT / DELETE / etc etc… but NOT THE SEND BUTTON….
@hamz The following fields have to have content in for the ‘Send’ option to appear. ‘To:’ ‘Subject:’ and obviously the actual content of the email also. Once all 3 fields have something in the ‘Send’ button is their.

Can someone PLEASE help me fix this on my phone as it is imperative that I am able to receive notifications on my phone as I work for a Fire/ EMS service. I really like my yahoo account and do not want to change it.
Emails to my father’s yahoo account needed to be forwarded to my blackberry for a month. This had been set up on my blackberry Setup Email Settings icon. I now no longer need to read his emails. For some reason I am not able to get through to that same email settings now. Am told that ‘your device had a problem connecting to the server’, though the internet is working. Any ideas please?
Alternatively, I tried to find somewhere on my father’s yahoo account to cancel forwarding mails to my blackberry, but did not find any mention of my blackberry and the email link-up. That would also be a possible way of stopping large volumes of emails hitting my device.
Thanks

In answer to the problem that many have ref setting up email (only getting Blackberry Exchange option…), you need to have a plan that includes a specific Blackberry product before you can activate email or internet on your phone. This is a bit naughty IMO as it isn’t always made clear before you purchase the phone. I’m with Orange and with 1 call, they changed my plan (same price) and problem was solved – however, l did have to lose other features of my original plan to ‘upgrade’ to the Blackberry one at the same price. Hope it’s worth it….!
i tried to set up an email account but when i click on the email setup my blackberry keeps saying a problem occurred can’t connect to the server however i can get online and the wi-fi works.
I have 2 email accounts – one hotmail, one local provider. Both worked fine until a few days ago – now the emails from the local provider are not reaching my bb (curve). OK on laptop thou! Tried to reboot by leaving the battery out – no joy! Any suggestions please?
Well I do that, instead of the page for email set up, it sends me to my phone providers web side. What do I do then?
This was so helpful.
Not even the blackberry ‘help’ on the website helped.
THANKYOU
When I bought my first Bberry I got one with an enterprise server by mistake. I have followed the suggestions on your site for changing to a BIS server but no joy so far. Any other ideas folks?
I bought a bb curve 8520 , i would like to know if you can put windows 7 on it , can somebody give me that information on here please.
Hi! I have a problem with my bb curve 8520, the emails that I receive are in my bb inbox just one day or not even. Is it normal? Shouldn’t the emails be saved and stock there util I delete them? I receive all the emails, I read them and then they disappear. Help me please!
I’ve been trying to set up my hotmail email account in my 8520 BB, but to me it looks like the setting model provided above is way different from my phone’s. Above model shows email setup icon amongst other icons after tou activated the setup icon. My fone doesn’t give me an email setup icon as shown above, somebody help please i’m so desparate, thanx.
Please tell me ..How to remove block for out going calls?
Alex You’re a STAR. Your directions on September 13th, 2010 helped me from throughing the BB against the wall Hope after a year you still look ate this site and see the note.

hi BB users, newbie BB user here, can anyone help me? Is it
possible to send and receive e-mails from my BB Curve? I’m on
Globe Socials, I have already downloaded MSN Messenger but I can
only reply to someone when that someone is online, what if I want
to send my friends e-mail or chat messages even if they are
offline?
Whenever I try to compose messages, this message appears: “No
message services configured” – and when I try the setup wizard,
it says I can only compose a draft message.
T_T halp, I’m getting frustrated…Good Samaritans, I need thee~
ty in advance…:)
Got a BRAND NEW Blackberry Curve 8520 on Virgin. Completely froze after 6 weeks- just one minute working, then not.It was “the white screen of death”. Took it into the Virgin shop “terribly sorry, can’t fix it you have to send it away: wait for the postage pack etc” After 5 days , “no it can’t be fixed- we’ll send you a replacement completely refurbished”. No matter. It came today. Guess what. It doesn’t work. The email option is only for a server: seems it was used by someone on T-mobile before. Now I will have to probably have to send this one away as well. Well pissed off with lack of customer service at Virgin, AND crap phones from Blackberry. I have never ever had a phone die on me. Yeah some buttons and keys go after 5 years or so, but never the whole thing just stop- not after 6 weeks in broad daylight!

Hi, I need to setup my workmails from Microsoft exchange server on my blackberry curve 8520. Would appreciciate your help.
i changed the password of my email in my desktop, now my emails stop coming in my blackberry curve 9300, any help please
I spent days trying to connect my 8520 to email. At last, it dawned on me. I had to set up a BlackBerry Internet Service account – my problems were solved and I could enter email addresses and send and receive emails. BUT nobody told me about this – and Vodafone charge £5.30 per month for this access. Another £60 a year, I feel I have been conned.

ok, i have a BB 8520 and had it for a year… i had no problems until i sent it for a software upgrade. when i got it back it was like a brand new BB straight from the box. i used BB Protect App to restore all backed up files but my email was the problem. i go to setup, i go email setup and it gives me the option of existing users only, no create new account. it asks me for a username and password, i put in my email address and password and a window pops up saying you cannot have a blank username and so i try using my name (what i saved it on in my email settings) and it says invalid… i try going on my email through the browser (yahoo mail) and it says sorry that you are having a problem logging in, please lig onto a desktop and then try again on the mobile device. i try that and still it doesnt work… please… i lost all my blackberry contacts and i baced them on my email address, i cant restore them without my email!!
Hi! I have a BB9320.. My phone (9300) got stolen and I got this one now.. I can however not setup my existing email account.. I would like to sort it out as I had to change email 3times already as it doesn’t want to “transfer” to new phone.. How do I do it? It keeps telling the server is off or I have an email/password problem.. Neither of this seems to be the problem.. It also askes me for email server ans user name.. If I enter that, it tells me again that the device has a server problem.. I can send and receive mails on gmail… But that’s the the email account I use. Please help!
