If I add a supported email account to 
BlackBerry Internet Service, will email continue 
to be delivered to the original email account?
When you add a supported email account to 
BlackBerry Internet Service, email messages 
continue to be delivered to the original email 
account as they were before you added the 
account to BlackBerry Internet Service. You also 
see email messages from the account that you 
have added in the message list on your BlackBerry 
device and in your BlackBerry Internet Service 
account, if you log in using a computer.
I have added a supported email account to 
BlackBerry Internet Service. When I delete a 
message from that account on my device is it 
also deleted from the inbox of the original 
email account?
When you add a supported email account to 
BlackBerry Internet Service, a link is established 
between your BlackBerry Internet Service account 
and the email account that you have added. This 
link enables you to send and receive email 
messages from your BlackBerry device using the 
address of the account that you have added. The 
device only synchronizes with messages in the 
BlackBerry Internet Service account. Therefore, if 
you read, send, or delete a message on your 
device, the change is reflected in your BlackBerry 
Internet Service account, but not in the email 
account that you have added. If you delete an 
email message directly from the original email 
account, the change is not reflected in your 
BlackBerry Internet Service account, or on your 
device.
What is the BlackBerry Mail Connector? 
The BlackBerry Mail Connector is a program that 
you might need to install on your local computer 
to enable BlackBerry Internet Service to access 
and copy messages from your corporate Microsoft 
Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes email account when 
the Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino mail 
server is behind a firewall.
When you add a supported email account to the 
BlackBerry Internet Service, the software is 
designed to automatically detect whether the 
BlackBerry Mail Connector is required and to 
prompt you to install the program.
To install the BlackBerry Mail Connector, the 
following system requirements must be met:
• Microsoft Outlook 98, Outlook 2000, 
Outlook 2003 or IBM Lotus Notes 5.0, 6.0, 
or 6.5 Email account on a Microsoft 
Exchange Server version 5.5, 2000, or 2003, 
or an IBM Lotus Domino Server version 6.0, 
or 6.5
• Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME, 
Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows NT 
(version 4) Service Pack 6 or later
• Internet and email enabled computer 
Persistent Internet connection (Port 443, 
SSL)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, 6.0 
or later
Note: The computer must be on and must have a 
constant connection to the corporate local area 
network (LAN) for message delivery to occur.
Why can I not add a third-party email account 
to the BlackBerry Internet Service?
Verify that the third-party email account supports 
POP3 or IMAP4.
