It's not a problem that is only found in Blackberry phones tho'. That is why it's good to advise others who are expecting emails from you to also give their spam boxes the occasional run-through.

My major regret is why it took me so long to figure out. I have lots of jobs I've applied to already using that medium.

i think It actually occurs because emails sent from BlackBerry configured phones are actually processed and sent by blackberry servers. So if you check the email header you will find that an email that's xxxxx@yahoo.com is being sent from a xxxx.blackberry.net server. This mismatch makes recieving email servers flag it as spam.

I send emails daily from my Z10 and get instant replies. I got my latest job via email I sent. I don't really know what you are saying here o. Maybe some of these BlackBerry 10 devices have been tampered with or something but my own Z10 works perfectly and delivers emails into inbox not spam folders.

Like u right... Am not a victim at all.. Cos everytime I do, dere is always and instant reply and sometimes confirmation from the recipient tru calls.. basically dere r branded BB10.

Note: Branded BB's r always on some shit or the other.

Ever since my university days, I had always been a fan of blackberry. What I recently found out about my beloved blackberry surprised me and has since left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I have recently applied for a host of jobs, getting invited for tests in some and never getting an invite in some. In my quest to know why I haven't been invited to write some tests, I started seeing a pattern.

Anytime I apply to jobs using recruitment portals such as taleo, I always get shortlisted. Anytime I apply for a job by sending my CV to a mail address, I never get an invite for a test.

I decided to do a little experiment. I opened a yahoo mail account and sent a mail from my BlackBerry HUB to the yahoo mail and it ended up in spam. I tried the same using mail addresses of people I had never exchanged mails with and all the mails ended up in their spam folder.

The problem I later got to find out is a bug that comes with BB10 devices. Using the blackberry HUB to send mails will most likely end your mail in the junk folder.

I decided to open this thread to enlighten other job seekers who unknowingly have been victims of their own phone.

Attached are screenshots of people's experiences I got off the web.





so you want a job badly and the best sacrifice you can make is send your CV,applications and all with a mobile(BlackBerry)

That speaks a lot how much you really need a job...what the hell happened to using the cyber cafe if you don't own a laptop or desktop?
sometimes, we just need to pay a little sacrifice to achieve our goals.

you not ready for a job,at least not yet...you've never been serious about it.

as someone rightly pointed out, it might be an issue with OS version;
OP, are u using official or leaked os version?
on my Zed 10, os 10.3.2.2226, there is no such issues.

I've been using the Z30 for almost a year now.. and I haven't had this issue at all..
