Are blackberry emails worth getting?

How do I set up my blackberry so I stop getting spammed by emails?

• Answer:

  You can disconnect your blackberry from your email account if you don't want to get any more emails on it. If you are just getting too much spam, you might check to see if there is any filtering that your service provider can do when setting up your account. I used to have AT&T as my provider and had email delivered on my blackberry pearl. While they didnt have any sort of filtering, they do allow you to modify what email account you can attach to your blackberry (http://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=mycingular). You might consider forwarding your email account to a new account on gmail (gmail.com). You can then attach this account to your blackberry instead. Gmail will filter out spam (they have the best spam filtering you can find) before sending it to your blackberry. Of course if you can set up filtering on your current email provider that works too :) http://www.blackberrycool.com/2005/02/enabling-gmail-on-your-blackberry/ Another possible option is an actual app that will filter spam when it arrives on your blackberry. You ideally would want to filter spam before it even gets here, but this is just an option to consider. http://www.antair.com/blackberry/spamfilter/
