Ok so I'm sure I'm not the only one with multiple email accounts on their BB, right? I have about 5 different ones (all for business). My question is, is there any way to name each account (ex. cjones@<hidden>..I want it to say Blah under the icon on the homescreen, rather than the entire email address). Is this even possible?

I wonder if this was ever brought to the attention of the individuals who worked on version 6. If they made this possible on 6 it would be great

Ok , now i understand. That option is not available to all BB services. Some may have to do the edit on the BIS server or as you suggested on the email setup.
