How to Set Up Email Filters on a Blackberry
Sometimes your regular spam filter on your web browser email isn't enough. You can take your protection one step further by setting up email filtering on your BlackBerry phone. What confuses most people is that this is not controlled on the phone itself, but rather it must be configured through the BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) website. Once you set up filtering, you will encounter less spam on your phone, but be aware that it may still show up in your email when you view it from a computer.
