What’s New with BlackBerry Internet Service Email v2.0***?
BlackBerry Internet Service v2.0 introduces updates in technology and functionality with the email feature – called BlackBerry Internet Service Email.
- Set-up is easy – Setting up your BlackBerry device to send and receive email from your work and personal email accounts is quick and easy. And it’s just a few clicks away. You can do it online at your computer, or right from the device. In no time, you’ll be exchanging email with your friends, family and colleagues, from virtually anywhere you go. Learn more at BlackBerry Internet Service Email Setup.
- Open attachments on the go – View popular attachment formats including JPEG, BMP, TIFF, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Corel WordPerfect and Adobe PDF. Whether it’s a key file from work or a photo from a friend, you’ve got access when you want it. And now, you can review PowerPoint presentations in an easy-to-use slideshow format.
- Create a unique BlackBerry email address – Could you use an extra email account? Or an address you can reserve for close contacts? You have the option to choose a unique BlackBerry email address. Messages sent to this address are received and stored right on your BlackBerry device, so you never need to use a desktop computer to manage the account.
- Manage your email accounts from just about anywhere You can add up to 10 business and/or personal email accounts easily and configure each one individually. With multiple ‘Sent From’ email addresses, you choose the account you want to reply or compose from and each email account will have a separate inbox on the BlackBerry device. And there are no email storage quotas to manage for email accounts that are integrated with your BlackBerry device† – auto-aging means the mailbox never gets full. Plus, you can manage all your email accounts directly from your BlackBerry device: your desktop account is updated whenever you send, delete or read a message on your BlackBerry device††. You save time because you don’t have to manage your accounts in two places: read a message on your BlackBerry device and it’s marked as read when you return to your computer.
