Create an email profile

The required profile settings vary for each device type and depend on the mail server used in your organization's environment.
  • If you use certificate-based authentication between devices and your mail server, you must create a CA certificate profile and assign it to users. You must also make sure that devices have a trusted client certificate.
  • To automatically apply an email profile to 
    Android
     devices, the device must meet one of the following criteria. If the device does not meet any of these criteria, 
    BlackBerry UEM
     still sends the email profile to 
    Android
     devices, but the user must manually configure the connection to the mail server:
    • Android Enterprise
       devices
    • Samsung KNOX
       and 
      Samsung KNOX Workspace
       devices
    • Motorola
       devices
  • If you plan to use the 
    BlackBerry Secure Gateway
     to provide a secure connection to your organization's mail server through the 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
     and 
    BlackBerry UEM
     for 
    iOS
     devices, verify that your organization has the appropriate 
    BlackBerry UEM
     licenses. For more information, see the Licensing content.

    Email address
