Cannot setup Google Apps Mail for Business on Blackberry Curve
Posted on 2013-01-24
Experts,
Blackberrys know how to wind me up. It seems that no 2 are ever the same!
I am trying to get the business Google Mail setup on a brand new Blackberry Curve. I have got this working on other blackberry's without a problem. I wanted to use the Enhanced gmail plugin as advised by google here:
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78882
Which is basically to go to www.blackberry.com/integrate from the device itself and it sets it up for you.
Fantastic but that comes back with the superbly helpful "Unknown Error" that RIM have been so experienced at using.
When I try the same thing on an older Blackberry it works fine.
I thought, ok so I'll have to setup using IMAP. Not a chance on this Blackberry as when you go to e-mail setup all you can do is put in an e-mail address and activation to activate with a BES server. No other options available on the device.
What am I doing so wrong and why is this so difficult?
I could use any number of devices to connect to this e-mail account but Blackberry want to make it difficult.

Thanks for your suggestion but there is no normal e-mail setup option on the blackberry. Only the Enterprise Activation. So I cannot follow these instructions.
I don't know what you mean by delete the app. Which app are you referring to?

If you don't have normal setup on the device, then it is being managed by a BES and is locked down.
You need the BES administrator to "unlock" the device.
