For the last month or so, we've been running a short survey to get more insight into your email pain points. While the feedback has been great (thank you!), we need more of it, and time is running out. If you haven't completed the survey yet, today is your last chance. We close things down at midnight tonight, so take a few minutes right now and fill out the survey. As a token of our...
We've all been there. Maybe you're there now. You switch over to your email app and there's this tremendous stack of unread messages. Some are important to you, some to your boss, a lot are crap. Increasingly it seems all but impossible to keep on top of it all — which do you need to read? Which need an immediate response? Which can you just delete without even opening? It's like you...
For those of you who missed our 'email triage debate' on our recently-recorded CrackBerry Podcast, I'm following up here as I want to know your thoughts on this subject. The Way It Is: I'd like to see BlackBerry 10 follow the precedent set by iOS and Android and allow for a user to swipe on individual emails within the inbox to take action on them. I'm a fan of the Android...
With the BlackBerry Z10 now hitting the market, many folks picking the device up have been wondering why they can no longer use their BlackBerry provided BlackBerry.net email addresses. Instead, the setup process of those emails on BlackBerry 10 simply states the email accounts no longer supported through the device. If you're not familiar with these email accounts, they were once...
Hello my faithful CrackBerry readers and Happy New Year! Dear Berry is here again to answer any BlackBerry questions and woes that you may have.

Hi, I'm going to be switching internet providers which means the email address I use with my BlackBerry ID will no longer be available for me to use. How do I change my...
Hello again readers! Dear Berry is here once again with a mailbag full of BlackBerry questions and woes. This week's question comes from one reader who asks: I don't want to sync my gmail contacts with my BB. How do I turn this feature off? I have checked several postings but nothing worked. Several people suggested going to home page/options/advanced settings. My home page/options...
With the BlackBerry PlayBook OS getting an update this week to version 2.1, one of the improved features is the ability to now use the native email client/messages application in portrait mode. It looks kind of weird at first but I suppose that is just because we are so used to only using it in landscape after over a year. From a personal viewpoint I think it's a great update, mainly...
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...
Your BlackBerry smartphone comes with the built-in ability to add a Level 1 notification for any number of email filters on your device. Through your carrier BIS account, you can easily add a special notification for any email address or keywords, letting you choose a custom alert for them as well. The process takes a few steps to set up, but once you do you'll have a custom alert for...
Microsoft's Hotmail was once a widely used email service, but in recent years has been relegated to the same place of GeoCities, Angelfire and the like. Today, Hotmail was rebranded and relaunched as Outlook.com, and it just might give other email services a run for their money. The minimalist design is giving new life to the old Hotmail and could have some users picking it up full time...
For quite a while now RIM has had a recent contacts option (Messages > Options > Messages Displays and Actions > Show Recent Contacts When Composing Email) available for email. When enabled, this option lets you choose recent contacts when sending emails, much like Gmail and other email clients. It's a pretty sweet feature if you don't like to have a crazy contact list but...
If you’ve been around CrackBerry since the launch of PlayBook OS 2.0 then you’ve probably heard a few complaints about the amount of time it takes for the native PIM apps to open on the PlayBook. While we wait for Research In Motion to release an update that will speed up the launching of apps, a developer has gone ahead and made an app to help those of you that just can't stand waiting...
Hello again dear readers. It's time once again to open up the mailbag and clear up any BlackBerry woes you may have. This week's question comes from one of our Twitter followers, Scott, who asked: How do I save an attached photo (not bridged, but native Gmail) on PlayBook? Doesn't offer save/cut/copy…Holding a finger is NOT coming up with choices when it's attached. I can open but...

Hello again readers! Dear Berry here to once again to open up the mailbag and clear up any BlackBerry woes you may have. This week's question comes from Patrick who asks: I have the playbook and noticed that there is no option to save the images that you open in an email. There are no screen options or drop down menu options at all. Am I missing something because I am pretty...
It is that time of the week again. The time to sort out any BlackBerry woes you may have. This week's entry is a pretty quick one, however, I thought if one person asks, I'm pretty sure there are others out there who may not know how to find this either. This week's question goes like this. Dear Berry, I often have the need to CC or BCC my email, but I don't see a way to do this...

I can think of many things I would rather do when receiving an email that has images instead of having to go into the menu and get the images manually, and this is where Show Me the Images plays a crucial role on my device. If you have somehow not heard of this application it is a great application that allows you to put emails on a safe list, so anytime you receive an email from...
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] At CES RIM demonstrated Playbook 2.0 software and revealed that email (even consumer email) will be handled via ActiveSync, which is a Microsoft technology. By adopting ActiveSync to send email to the Playbook (and presumably all upcoming BlackBerry 10 devices), it sounds like the NOC isn't being used for email transport anymore. This...

We would have loved to see native email, calendar and contacts at CES 2011 when we first went hands on with the BlackBerry PlayBook last January, but good things take time and we're really excited by what we're seeing with RIM's...
There are many things you can do with your incoming messages. Believe it or not, you can actually respond to them too! How crazy is that?! Seriously though, the native email application lets you do things like file the message or flag it for follow up. That’s just to name a few options. What the Email++ application does is give you additional options all within the actual email. It puts...
German car maker Volkswagen has taken a step toward making employees much happier by coming to an agreement to stop work emails from being delivered to employee BlackBerry smartphones after work hours. The plan states that no internal work emails will be delivered from 30 minutes after the end of a shift until 30 minutes prior to returning to work. This is a huge step in the workplace...
