Having POP3-BIS integration problems? OK here's what to do

The BlackBerry Technical Knowledge Center has just posted a new support document entitled Unable to integrate a POP3 email account after changing messaging and collaboration servers.

This happens when, after messaging servers are changed, a BlackBerry device user working with BlackBerry Internet Service can't integrate or receive emails from a POP3 email account.

The document tells us that when a mail server is changed, it takes a few days for the DNS (Domain Name System) servers to update the IP (Internet Protocol) address.

Rather than just have you wait, this document (linked below) provides a five-step resolution.

I'm just about to tell you what those steps are.

  1. Check with the system administrator to locate the IP address of the messaging server.
  2. Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service to add your email account.
  3. Type your email address but use an incorrect password. Using the incorrect password will take you to an advanced integration screen.
  4. Select I will provide the settings from the POP/IMAP section of the advanced settings.
  5. Complete the information requested on the page using the IP address for the server and make sure to update your password to the correct password.
