How Do I Get My Email Into My BlackBerry, iPhone, etc.? |
||||
Unfortunately, the technology used to get email to BlackBerries, iPhones, and other mobile devices is different than the technology used to get email to your laptop or table-top computer. POP = The computer goes and gets the mail for you. Personal computers (whether Windows or Mac) use the POP protocol while Blackberries, iPhones, etc., use PUSH protocol to work. So, when you want your email on your mobile devices, you have some choices: Install software on your BlackBerry or iPhone to go get your mailInstall software onto your mobile device that will go and get the mail for you, instead of waiting to have it delivered
Install software on your computer to send the mail to your mobileIf you don't want to install software on your mobile device, you can install software onto your computer that will bring in the mail just like usual, but then will ALSO send it to your BlackBerry, iPhone, etc. Have two email accountsWhile this is usually the least desirable solution, you can have both a "regular" email address and a "mobile" email address. While confusing to your contacts, it saves you from having to install software on your mobile device or your computer. Logging
into a traditional email
account and into a
Blackberry to access your
email vary slightly. When
logging into your email
account on your computer you
would log in as name@website.com but
when logging into your email
account on your Blackberry
replace the '@' with the
plus sign, '+' so your login
appears as name+website.com. * Please note that links on this page are to sites not controlled by BusyBrain and so we can't take any responsibility for their instructions. Contact the manufacturer of your mobile device for more info. |
