To make the following changes to your device, enter your messages folder, bring up the menu and go down to Options, then choose General Options:
Here you can make personalized changes to the way you view emails. One of the biggest questions that users have is how can I separate my text messages and emails from the messages folder. To do this, in this menu, scroll down to SMS and Email Inboxes, and change to Separate.

Also, continue to scroll down and you can determine how long you wish for messages to remain on your BlackBerry device before they are automatically deleted from the device.
Save your changes and you will be back in the Messages Options.
Under Email Settings, you can determine whether or not you want your device to confirm delivery (annoying), confirm read (good option) and send read receipts (if you want people to know when you read their emails).
Under email reconciliation, you can determine the preferences of what to delete on, and if your handheld or mailbox win on conflicts. Note, when you are in here, if you bring up the menu, you can also purge deleted messages from the accounts as well!

Another question people have is how to change their "default" email on their BlackBerry. To do this, do the following steps:

• Go to Options
• Go to Advanced Options
• Go to Messaging Services
• Change the email address to the one you wish to set as default and save your changes
