Notes

Enter Settings Manually

If a BlackBerry account has the same username and password as your cPanel account, there can be a major conflict.

When an email account is set-up on BIS, you are asked for only 2 things: an email and password. If both the email and username exist and the passwords are the same, BlackBerry will accept the data and sync the phone with the account’s default email instead of your SEO Hosting address.

The error can be fixed by giving BlackBerry a false password. When email client cannot verify, you will be asked to Re-enter account information or Enter the settings manually.

1. Select Enter the settings manually, and select I will provide the settings to add this email account.
2. Enter the full IMAP information for your account.

This fix will allow BIS to sync with the proper account.

Note: With the new Blackberry OS, this fix may not apply; however, you may want to try the steps above if you continue to have issues setting up your email account.

Re-Register Your BlackBerry Device

You may have to re-register your device with your wireless network. To do this:

1. Click the BlackBerry button > Options.
2. Advanced Options > Host Routing Table.
3. Click the BlackBerry button and choose Register Now.

The steps above will sync your blackberry device with your carrier’s wireless network.
