EarthLink’s Mobile Web Mail page offers a quick way to check your email from any Web enabled phone without having to configure any software.  Just point your phone’s browser towards http://m.webmail.earthlink.net and login with your EarthLink email address and password.  You will be able to check your email as well as send messages directly from the Mobile Web Mail page.

You can also set up your BlackBerry’s email program to check your email directly.  In order to get started, you’ll need to know your EarthLink email server settings incase you are prompted for them during your BlackBerry email software setup.

EarthLink’s Incoming POP Server is based on your email address’ domain.  This is the only setting that is unique to your email address.  The format is pop.(your domain).  For example an @ix.netcom.com address would be pop.ix.netcom.com.  

EarthLink’s SMTP Email server is the same for all EarthLink email addresses regardless of what domain you have.  The outgoing SMTP server will always be smtpauth.earthlink.net.  This server will require you to authenticate with your full email address and password.  Some email clients may require you to check an option that states your email server requires authentication.

EarthLink’s Outgoing SMTP Email server may require you to change your email software’s outgoing SMTP port to 587.  In most cases, your phone will do this automatically.  However, if you are having problems sending mail, look for your phone’s advanced email settings and change the outgoing port to 587.  If you are unable to change your outgoing mail server port or if you are unable to send email using the EarthLink outgoing email server, you will need to contact your wireless provider for assistance configuring your device with an outgoing mail server that will work on your wireless provider’s network.

Now that you know your settings, follow the process below to setup your BlackBerry.

As there are several models of BlackBerry phones on the market, you will need to know the specific model you have in order to setup email correctly. 

If you subscribe to the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) through your wireless carrier and your email ends with @earthlink.net, then email setup on your BlackBerry devices is just a matter of following a few steps.  Go to http://earthlink.blackberry.net/ and click on the Create New Account button to get started.  You will need to know your BlackBerry devices PIN and ESN/MEID information, which can usually be found in your phone’s settings Status section, on the box it came in or under the battery on the back of the phone.  Once you’ve provided your PIN and ESN/MEID information, just follow the directions to set up your email.

If you do not subscribe to the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) or your EarthLink email address ends with a domain other than @earthlink.net, BlackBerry’s Web site provides several walkthroughs to manually set up email on your phone.  Please make note of your server settings above and then select your phone from the menu found on the site linked below.  Then follow the directions to setup your BlackBerry email.
