New Email Icon For Hotmail Users Showing Up On BlackBerry Devices

June 28, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 8 Comments

Word on the street is that a new email icon is showing up on BlackBerry devices of users how have Hotmail accounts configured through BIS.  We know that RIM has recently upgraded BIS to version 3.1 as 2-way Contact Sync is now available to Yahoo! mail BlackBerry users, and, I wonder if this new email icon is part of the BIS 3.1 upgrade as well?

Has anyone noticed a new Hotmail icon on your device?

    I saw a dedicated Yahoo icon last week (like the one I used to see on my BB 8830), then it was gone. Didn’t occur to me it might mean more functionality. Thought it was simply RIM playing around with their servers.

    Both the icon for Yahoo mail and hotmail are coming and going. It doesn’t matter if I reset or not it just decides when it wants to be there and when it doesn’t.
    I wish I understood why it comes and goes.

    The icon just showed up today on my Blackberry 8520 when I deleted my email account and re-registered it on my blackberry. Why I did it was because I thought by doing so, I could get my Facebook Blackberry notifications back, but NOPE. Now the icon’s all messed up with that new blackberry email icon. Pls let me know if there is a way to get it back to the usual icon cos I’m using a theme and it looks odd.

    Thanks!
