Resend your service books, if you have not, as has been suggested several times in this thread.

AT&T / So Cal
BES - still great
BIS / Yahoo - still not working (despite hard reset, host routing table, send svc books)

BIS - GMail works fine.
BIS - Yahoo-hosted still FUBAR.
I am getting the impression that Yahoo Email + BIS = not very reliable.

I stumbled across this on yahoo! after my T-mobile pearl after not pushing emails since early yesterday pushed 10 emails early this morning.

E-mail outage hits some BlackBerry users

E-mail outage hits some BlackBerry users - Yahoo! News

I've only been using blackberries for less than a year. On average year, how many outages does RIM have (not carrier phone/sms/mms outages)? I see alot of posters saying the 2 this year is unexceptable, but compared to a Windows Mobile phone that doesn't push email consistently even without a service outage, I think the 2 RIM outages so far is far better than all the issues I had with other devices. To me they seem to have a good service track record and may get bad press when they do have issues just because their product is so good that we are addicted to it and we monitor it every 5 seconds if there isn't a email coming thru....lol

Just resent service books and received an instant confirmation on the BB. Tried test email from yahoo and nothing, nada, zilch.

ATT BIS and Yahoo email

Southbeach, did you DELETE the service books also from your device, first?

See Post #124 in this thread

Then pull your battery and reboot.
Good luck.

my T-mo Pearl seems to back up and running, email was sent to my work email at 440pm today, and was pushed to my Pearl @ 454pm, so it's within the 15 minute polling timeframe, so I guess I am good to go on that device.

Hi Everyone, Service here in Connecticut (Fairfield County) on T-Mobile has been hit and miss. Receiving E-Mails from Friday just a few minutes ago and over night received over 50 E-Mails when I normally get 20 or so. Tech support at Blackberry said they are still working on it, but like someone else said, all E-Mails will be delivered.

What is up with the spam- no filter on the curve to stop spam?
Help i am going craaaazy

I had the same problem with my Yahoo email address: no emails on blackberry after Friday. Fixed by removing Yahoo email address from blackberry account and adding it back.

Gadget, first welcome to the Forums.

Your best bet is to filter the spam at the email server level BEFORE it gets to the BlackBerry, like at yahoo, gmail or wherever your email comes from. There is an email spam filter from Antair.com, but I have never tried it.

Also, please start a new thread with a new question that has nothing to do with the topic on hand, otherwise, it is called "hijacking" a thread, and is not polite.

Thanks, enjoy.

My Yahoo still won't come through either. Backberry mail and gmail are working great. I've deleted and resent service books, Re registered, re booted and deleted the account itself and re added (some of these steps multiple times). None of the test emails I've sent myself will come through. T Mobile said that there are still know issues going on and to be patient. So...thats what I'm doing! Not sure if it matters but I'm in Central Florida...

I looked at the post 165. However, those instructions don't work on the 8300 model. Anyone know how to delete the service books on the 8300 model?

From what I understand, delete the service books on the device (deleting any books with the @ designation), pull out battery, reboot, and then resend the service books from blackberry's website?

I'd sure like to know what this service book is?

Man, this is really frustrating. I've never had to battle with my phone before. As a new user for less than a month to Blackberry, I would almost go back to plain old phone and computer email but I was really liking the blackberry!

Thanks for your help though Mr. Sanders!

Too quick on the draw for the last post. Figured it out. Sorry.

Nick

Nick, glad you go found out how. It should/could work to get your email flowing. No guarantee!

On the other subject, it's a rare occrurance, so don't worry too much. You"ll be fine.

I did a "send service books" yesterday, Friday at 4:30 PM central time and all the e mails I could see in my outlook that hadn't been delivered flooded in. I received seveal e mails including test e mails I sent from other accounts right on time. I had the laptop on at home to monitor my company e mail to make sure I wasn't missing any. I didn't. Today at 5:30 PM (Saturday) an activation congratulatory message showed up.

What was that all about? Was that a delayed reaction to the service book request from yesterday?

Email sent to Yahoo account is not being pushed to the BB still. Anyone still having this same problem with ATT BIS and Yahoo email combo?

Am able to send from BB using my yahoo email account with no delay problems, but not receiving any emails on the BB sent to my yahoo account.

I am having the same problem and I'm in ND using VZW. I was getting email on my BB Yahoo! account earlier today, although somewhat sporatically. I did a hard reset (pulled the battery) and resent my service books using the BIS site for VZW. I hope I did all this correctly as I'm so new to the BB world I have no idea what much of this does. Yesterday, I was able to set up my work email account on my BB as well. I deleted all the accounts today and started over to see if I'd start getting mail again. Now, I can't seem to get my work email set up again. It is a corporate account that I access using Web Outlook. I get an error message that says my account can't be accessed by the service. Is this because of the outage or am I doing something wrong? ANY help would be greatly appreciated! I really love my BB and I want to be able to utilize it to the fullest.

BES - still great

BIS
- Yahoo - no good - sporadic receive, send sometimes works (have tried hard reset, send svc books, delete/add email acct)
- Google (just configured it) - seems to be working

You know, as a side note, Yahoo > BIS accounts were having an issue a couple days before this outage occurred, if I recall correctly? Am I losing my mind or is that true?

This is the first time I've had any problems. I just got my BB though and have only been using it since August 16th. I've done the reset, sent the books, etc. and it still seems sporadic at best. I just got an email on my laptop that didn't show up on my BB. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. It's not critical for me to have my email on my BB, but since I can't access my Yahoo! account at work due to server restrictions, it's VERY handy to have. My company has BES, but I can't get my IT guy to give me the scoop on whether or not I'm privy to that access.

I did all that good stuff - service books, host routing, and I added and deleted my email account twice on BIS. Finally, right about now, everthing is working as it should.

Yes, the problem wasn't with the regular Yahoo accounts, but with the hosted Yahoo accounts (SBC Yahoo, Small Biz hosted, etc.) It was fixed for a few days until this latest outage.

ps. the hosted Yahoo accts are working but no instant-sync right now, at least not on my phone.

Ok weird stuff....I am really wondering if the are upgrading BIS.... I got all of my service books resent and I didn't resend them. Happened at 3:00pm on the dot!

Anyone else??? I'm AT&T

I've been getting my service books resent all day long and all night so far and I'm not resending them.

I DID resend my books, ever since doing so I have been unable to open any attachments

Like you told me:

""""LOL.... first, listen to your pathetic self! be patient it is still the best thing going YOU LITTLE GIRL?!?!?

OMFG""""


Excuse me moderator but I am just returning the favor to this jerk!

Just recieve an order confirmation e-mail here in Maine on my 8300. Appears no problem here

Still no emails being pushed from regular yahoo email to the BB. Emails to the the blackberry.net email is working fine.

Anyone still having problems with yahoo?

Did all the stuff recommended on here, routing, service books, delete email and added it back. Nothing.

lol isnt karma a *****

Dawg,
Problem is not karma, problem is people nowadays want Instant Karma without paying the dues.

It would be nice if RIM would have a page on their website that would give a condition/repair status report of this sort of problem.

^---What he said.

GMail on BIS - Delivered within about 10 seconds.
Yahoo-hosted (xxxxx@pacbell.net) email on BIS- Delivered within about 6-7 minutes.
At least it seems to be improving...

this has nothing to do with RIM this was for Greg and his nemesis

I posted too soon. As of 11:00 Pacific I am receiving no Yahoo-hosted email on my BB. Third day of flakiness in a row. And this after the Yahoo outage on 8/30 (link to thread). Pretty disappointing IMHO. If they can't straighten this out soon I will have to start looking for an alternative solution.

Happens all the time?

Well, if you consider TWICE in one year; a mere 2 incidents some 7 months apart, after 2+ years of NEVER having a problem like this; to be "happening all the time", then yes, I guess it IS happening all the time!

Since you're clearly unhappy with your , in your case, I'd recommend that you try a T-Mobile Sidekick/Danger Hiptop, as I think that device would probably suit you better! But don't come crying to us when you experience a service outage lasting a day or 3... or even a full WEEK! Because, after all, you have and are dissatisfied with THE BEST, so now you'll just have to put-up with a lower quality of service on the rest!

Greg, that was HILARIOUS!!!

I think this thread has served it's purpose....

So....in "Just Closed" style...
