To set up a Plusnet account on a blackberry you need to do the following : Locate the set up icon as above. Then go to e-mail settings. Choose add as above then other
Type in your e-mail address and password, click next.
If this is an additional mailbox it will fail as the blackberry attempts to log into it. Choose I will provide settings. Choose POP/IMAP again ensure e-mail address is typed in Further down the screen will be email server and username. For your additional mail box you need to type in the account username then a + symbol So for example if your username was joebloggs the main mailbox username is simply joebloggs. However if you create an additional mailbox e.g mail, making your e-mail address mail@joebloggs.plus.com then the username here would be joebloggs+mail Choose Next Once completed you should see the screen above Now you will be able to receive e-mails, and your Plusnet account will be shown as a small "earth" globe on the front screen.
Clear instructions and almost worked but fell at the last hurdle. On my O2 BB did not get the option to select POP / Outlook ... Instructions so clear that I'm sure everything else was correct. Anyone got a way to set upon a relatively new BB.
These instructions are for additional mail boxes not default. You can confirm how you login using the Plusnet webmail service at the below link. webmail.plus.net
If you login with a + symbol its an additional mail box so for example username+joebloggs = additional mailbox however, username and account password = default mailbox. Another way of checking is logging into your e-mail settings here: https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=myemail&s=1&redirected=yes&?membermenu=emailsettings
Blackberries should set up the default mailbox without issues simply using the e-mail settings and your username and account password. This guide was done on a BB 9700 and my differ if using OS6 found in the torch and 9780.
