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. ..I want it to say Blah under the icon on the homescreen, rather than the entire email address). Is this even possible?

No, it's not 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.
It's not available on my BB but is on the BIS server.
