Create an email profile

The required profile settings vary for each device type and depend on the mail server used in your organization's environment.
  • If you use certificate-based authentication between devices and your mail server, you must create a CA certificate profile and assign it to users. You must also make sure that devices have a trusted client certificate.
  • For
    Android
     devices with
    MDM controls
     activations,
    BlackBerry UEM
     sends the email profile to the device but the user must manually configure the connection to the mail server,
  1. On the menu bar, click
    Policies and Profiles
    .
  2. Click
    Email, calendar and contacts > Email
    .
  3. Click The Add icon.
  4. Type a name and description for the profile.
  5. If necessary, type the domain name of the mail server. If the profile is for multiple users who may be in different
    Microsoft Active Directory
     domains, you can use the
    %UserDomain%
     variable.
  6. In the
    Email address
     field, perform one of the following actions:
    • If the profile is for one user, type the email address of the user.
    • If the profile is for multiple users, type

      .

    • If the profile is for one user, type the username.
    • If the profile is for multiple users, type
      %UserName%
      .
    • If the profile is for multiple users in an
      IBM Notes Traveler
       environment, type
      %UserDisplayName%
      .
  9. If you configured server groups to direct
    BlackBerry Secure Gateway
     traffic to a specific regional connection to the
