Block incoming messages
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you might not be able to block or unblock PIN messages from
contacts within your organisation, from contacts outside of your organisation, or both. For more information, contact your
administrator.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Security > Firewall.
3. Select the check box beside one or more message types.
4.
Press the key > Save.
Note: Even though you don't receive blocked messages on your BlackBerry smartphone, blocked messages might contribute to
data usage in your wireless service plan. You can stop email messages from being forwarded to your smartphone without
contributing to data usage by turning off email message forwarding or by using email message filters.
