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.
