BlackBerry Email
There are two main ways to configure your BlackBerry to receive UVM Email.
NotifyLink (prefered)
This is a premium enterprise-class service that provides robust synchronization of not only email, but also calendar, contacts and tasks. This service has an annual fee associated with it; however, ETS is offering to waive that fee for some eligible parties.

BlackBerry Internet Service (alternate)
If you don't qualify for a NotifyLink account, you can still retrieve your email on the BlackBerry. A BIS account does not provide full two-way syncronization of email transactions, so you will essentially end up managing email in two locations.
