Blackberry and webmail

I have to do it via webmail as I am blocked (by work) from taking it direct.
I always used to be able to do it but now I get the dreaded "ERROR You need to be logged in" message every time I try to log in.
I have tried on other Blackberry Pearls and get the same message.
I have tried on other mobiles and can get in OK.
Can anyone suggest a way forward.
At the moment I am using googlemail as a work round, but I am sure that is not what Plusnet intended!
Thanks.
Geoff

I did find a workaround which involves installing opera mini and using that instead of the blackberry browser ;D.
Get Opera Mini visiting http://m.opera.com on your bb.

Depending on your network provider, you should be able to configure the BIS service to poll as many mailboxes as you like. Each one can either appear as a seperate mailbox on your BB, or you can combine them into a single mailbox.
For example, with O2, you just head over to www.o2email.co.uk, register using your IMEI and PIN, and set up the details to access your mailbox. One brief network update later and the mailbox should appear on your BB.
The advantage is that your email is pushed to you, and you don't have to go check it on Webmail. It also works perfectly with Plusnet's IMAP service (I have it configured myself).

Quote from: Barry Why not set the Blackberry up to poll your imap account? (I'm assuming it's a residential blackberry, and not an employer-controlled one).
Unfortunately it's a BES controlled device in my case and I can't see a way to add IMAP accounts as well.
If anyone else knows how, be really interested to get it working.
TIA

http://uk.blackberry.com/support/blackberry101/email.jsp is a good place to start - see if it is possible to set up a BIS account with your provider alongside the BES management.
Cheers
