Checking OSU E-mail on a Blackberry Using IMAP



Checking your OSU E-mail on a Blackberry using IMAP will allow you to keep the e-mail on the server so that you may check the same messages using an e-mail client, such as Eudora or Thunderbird, on your computer.

Note: To ensure the e-mail is available for the Blackberry to check, you may also want to setup your e-mail client to use IMAP or, if the client is using POP, set it to leave a copy of the messages on the server for a certain number of days.

To configure your Blackberry device:

  1. Log in to your BlackBerry Internet Service account (select your region and provider at the bottom of the page). The following images are from an account setup for a Blackberry using Sprint service, but other providers should follow the same procedure.
  2. Access the e-mail accounts section and setup a new e-mail account.

  3. Enter your OSU e-mail address and password.

  4. The website may fail at verifying the account because it guessed at the mail server to use. Select to provide the settings manually.

  5. Enter the following information:

    E-mail Address: name.#@osu.edu
    User Name: name.#
    Password: Password for your name.#
    Server: imap.service.ohio-state.edu
    Server Type: IMAP
    Check "Use SSL" (on port 993 if asked).

  6. Your OSU account should now be configured for your Blackberry device. (There may be some delay before the new account is pushed out to your Blackberry.)
