bought my son a unlocked 8100 Pearl for Xmas... the only email set up option I have is for the Blackberry Enterprise Server........ I would like to add his AOL account and did not know if there was a back door option to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Welcome to the forums!

Do you see an icon that is called "Manage Internet EMail" on the display?

[Conant]

Unfortunately it is not on there.... I usually am very good at figuring these things out.... but I have hit a wall.... the only option I can find is in the initial Setup Wizard.... I did go to blackberry.com and updated the phone from 4.2 to 4.5 hoping that would fix it...not so much!

From the home screen-hit your menu key. You should see a small menu that includes an option called "show all". Select this option-it will reveal any icons that may have been hidden. The "Manage Internet EMail" icon may surface.

You need a Blackberry Data Plan to get the BIS setup option. That's where you'll set up personal/non-corporate email accounts.
