Google Apps - Set up email with your Blackberry Mobile Device

Written by Jack Bremer

Friday, 25 April 2008

So, you've got to grips with the fantastic Google Apps, and you're wondering how to receive emails on your mobile phone, eh?
Google Apps on your BlackBerry - it's not hard!

Google Apps on your BlackBerry - it's not hard!

To start with, you need to ensure that POP email collection is turned on in Google Apps' GMail settings, and then you need to log into your BlackBerry online control panel. Here are some of the UK providers' Control Panel URLs:
Vodafone mobileemail.vodafone.net
O2 o2email.co.uk
Orange bis.eu.blackberry.com/html?brand=orangeuk

Log in with your username and password (if you've forgotten the password, they will send it to your BlackBerry in seconds if you click the link).

Once in, we need to set up the account, test it and make sure you don't receive copies of sent items on the BlackBerry:

Click on "Set Up Account"
Put in your full Google Apps email address (making sure you use the main username, not a nickname or alias) - e.g. This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
Put your Google Apps password in twice
Click Next

That should be the email account setup, and you can send yourself a test email to check it! You will find if you stop here, that you start receiving copies of all sent emails on the BlackBerry too, which is a pain, so click on "Email Accounts" and we can set up a filter to prevent this:

You will see your new Google Apps email address listed alongside your BlackBerry's own email account. Click on the Filters icon, which corresponds to the Google Apps email:
Click on "Add Filter"
Choose a logical name for the filter, such as "Google Apps Sent Email"
Change "Apply filter when" drop down menu to "From field"
Enter your full email address (that you use to send emails from) in "Contains", along with any others you might use to send out emails (info@ etc etc) separated by a simple semicolon ;
Select the "Do not forward messages to this device" radio box
Click "Add Filter"

Test away to your heart's content, and let us know how you get on with email on your BlackBerry!

Is there any reason, that upon using this filter, my sent emails will continue to appear as new unread messages in my Inbox? My coworker is using Google Apps with Blackberry Enterprise Server, and otherwise reading her mail on her desktop with Microsoft Outlook. Instead of logging into a BIS control panel, I am configuring settings on the blackberry device itself. The filter, just as described here, does not seem to solve the problem in this case.

Tyler, you raise a good point - what if you don't have access to a mobile provider's online control panel. Perhaps other users of this site will have some suggestions, but I'm afraid I haven't played with BES for several years - our clients usually embrace pure Google Apps, and perhaps bolt an iPhone on too these days!

Hi Jack Bremer
Thanks for the information really helpful to the new user of blackberry mobile phone. Is sending emails through blackberry mobile or any 3Gmobile phoned is risky or not?
