BlackBerry email address
A BlackBerry email address is an email address that you can create to send and receive messages on your BlackBerry device.
BlackBerry ID
Subscribers can create a BlackBerry ID to log in to, or automatically access, any BlackBerry product that supports BlackBerry ID. A BlackBerry ID consists of a single email address and a password. Subscribers can use any email address for their BlackBerry ID; subscribers do not have to use an email address that they have added to their BlackBerry device.
A BlackBerry ID is designed to provide subscribers convenient access to multiple BlackBerry products including the BlackBerry Internet Service, BlackBerry Protect, and the BlackBerry App World storefront.
BlackBerry Internet Service
The BlackBerry Internet Service is designed to provide subscribers with automatic delivery of email messages, mobile access to email message attachments and pictures, and access to Internet content.
Subscribers can add email addresses for existing supported email accounts to the BlackBerry Internet Service. The BlackBerry Internet Service is designed to retrieve email messages from these email accounts and deliver them to subscribers' BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Internet Service is also designed to reconcile email messages between the subscribers' BlackBerry devices and their email accounts over the wireless network, so they do not need to manage their email messages twice.
