If you are using a Blackberry to receive email, be aware that they have recently changed some of their rules. You can no longer access email from hotmail or yahoo Pop 3 accounts. This means that if you have a free email account with either of these services, as well as some others, one day soon you will not be able to access it from your Blackberry.
I found this out the hard way when I changed the password on my yahoo email account. I received one last email telling me that I had to contact my provider. I knew I had paid the bill on time, so when I called I was surprised to find out about this change in policy.
My solution was to add a different email account to my Blackberry and forward my yahoo email to that account. The representative had me up and running in less than 15 minutes. I only wish I had known in advance they were going to do this.
Because I work online, having email access is crucial to my business. Do what you need to do to make this work for you and your business.
