What else do I need to know about setting up e-mail on the BlackBerry Curve
  • You can set up multiple e-mail accounts on your BlackBerry Curve. The phone will check for new messages on these accounts every 15 minutes.
  • To find your Outgoing Mail Server Host Name (SMTP server name), sign in to Outlook.com at the following address: https://pod51000.outlook.com/owa/. After you sign in successfully, the address you entered will resolve to a different address that contains the SMTP server name you need to use. Use the following table to find the SMTP server name.
