Hello my faithful CrackBerry readers! Dear Berry is here again to answer any BlackBerry questions and woes that you may have. Let's open up the mailbag and see what this week's question is:
Hi There,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I set up my hotmail account as an alternative email on my blackberry phone. Now the email shows up on my contact list. Every single one of my contacts have my hotmail address at the top of the page. I can't seem to find a way to remove this from all of my contacts. I also deleted my hotmail account completely from my phone but it didn't delete from my contacts. Can you help me?
Thank you,
Marianella
Dear Marianella:
Thank you for submitting your question to me. This is actually a question that pops up numerous times in the forums. The simplest way to correct this issue is to delete the email as you have done and then wipe the contacts. Keep reading for a simple way to do this without wiping your entire device.
- Go into your Contacts
- Press the Menu key and select Options
- Type rset (a pop up will display asking if you want to wipe the contacts)
- Select yes through all windows
- Restore your contacts via Desktop Manager or BlackBerry Protect
Hope this helped!
-Berry
