Im trying to get my school's email account set up on my blackberry.

Our school contracts with google so the imap is actually imap.gmail.com

however the login is

when i try to enter my school's adress as the email it changes the imap settings automatically to myschool.edu. also if i try the gmail approach it will set my login as myname and not as .

is there a way to manually enter in my login?

yes - go to menu - Email Setting
there select your account - click on BB button and choose Edit
there go to advanced options - there you can change email server

is this helpful?

ok, setup this email account again - delete this one and setup it and change email server - I am afraid, that you cannot change an username - I can change it but only via BB site that is provided by my carrier - Tmobile Czech. so if you can to use similar service - try it
if not, try to setup it once more from the beginning
