HOWTO: Add second, additional, multiple email accounts to a BlackBerry

[scottcarson]

Hello,

Many clients have more than one email account (for example, a "home" account and a "work" account) that they wish to access from their BlackBerry smartphone. Following are the steps to add additional email accounts to a BlackBerry.

1. Click the "E-mail Settings" icon (it looks like an envelope with gear and red arrow)
2. In the "Existing Users" section, enter your username and password (this is the username/password used during initial setup). Remember that sometimes your BlackBerry will capitalize the first letter of your password, which may be wrong as the password is case sensitive. To resolve this, type a few letters of the password, then move back to the first letter, delete it, and retype it.
3. Click "Add My Exisiting Email Account"
4. Enter the email address and password to access the account and click "Next"

I used a BlackBerry Pearl in this example, but to my knowledge these steps will work with other flavours. If you know of other models that do/don't work with these steps, please reply to this post so others can have a reference.
