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 the icon last week for 2 days, then it was gone.
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.
I had that for a couple days then it went away and today I just reset my blackberry 8650 and it showed up again.
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!
I have the new hotmail icon. but when i receive new emails the red star only appears on the general messages icon and not the individual hotmail inbox icon. how do i fix this? any ideas?
Thanx!
well i have two hotmail accounts on mine, only one has changed, why would that be? just makes no sense, like much that RIM do!
Yes so annoying, When I recieve a email the star does not appear!
