Setting up for email using BlackBerry Internet Service
With BlackBerry Internet Service, you can set up
for email using either the BlackBerry device itself
or a computer with an Internet browser.
Note: If you intend to set up a corporate Microsoft
Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes email account that
resides on a Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus
Domino email server, you should use your
computer to set up BlackBerry Internet Service
because you might be prompted to install the
BlackBerry Mail Connector program on your
computer as part of the setup process.
See “Set up
email using a computer” on page 12 for more
information.
