How to Get AKO Email on a BlackBerry
BlackBerry devices are capable of many synchronization options. You can connect to mail, calendars and even your work Microsoft account. The smartphone will connect to your email account through your cellular service (such as Verizon). From the BlackBerry, you can get your AKO (Army Knowledge Online) email account added to your mobile device. This allows you to wirelessly view your messages, send and receive and even manage your account when you are away from your computer.
