Does it apply to Z3?

@OP, it's not a general Blackberry problem. It only occurs in those with dual OS (Blackberry-Android) like Q10, Z10, Z30 and d likes.
I send my mails with my Bold5 and it goes straight to the recipient's inbox. Just tried it now with my other email address and it went peacefully.

What is this one saying? How many people still visit a cyber cafe these days? I guess you own a cyber cafe undecided undecided tongue

lol, I'll forgive your ignorance.

I only suggested a cyber cafe on the ground that he maybe do not have a laptop or desktop.

My point is; important documents (mails) like a job application,cv etc should be followed with seriousness hence you should go the trouble of sending them with a pc and not a mere phone where you stand the risk of not getting your mail delivered or in the proper form in which you actually sent it.

You can use your phones for informal mails but when it gets formal,you've got to approach it with all seriousness and keep checking if your mails were actually sent and in the right format.

I dunno if you get my drill,many of y'all are too comfortable being lazy and taking things for granted and you want a job abi?
you gotta go out of your comfort zone,make sacrifices and exert extra effort.


I'm off

Several people sent me mails to help then check if the mail ended in my spam or inbox. Unfortunately, I may not be able to reply all.

For all whose mail ended in my spam, I ensured I replied. If I didn't reply, that implies your mail got to my inbox.

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.





Well I have been sending mails and cvs for atleast 2/3 years with my Q10 and I got responses. I just sent a test mail now and it delivered so your analysis is wrong.... You need to dig deeper into the issue. Do you know how many companies use BB10 for corporate stuff?

Next step in your test, try a non-BB phone and see if it's delivered

Op, please check ur device setting cos mine is intact.
Re: How Using A Blackberry Might Prevent You From Getting A Job. by kaymolla(m): 7:49pm On Jul 31, 2015
Sorry OP, it's not a general issue with bb10 devices. I use Q10 and my e-mails deliver very well and I get replies.

Someone who was also as sure as you and who boasted his mails gets delivered sent me a mail and it went into my spam.

So bro, you should be the one to check yours. I've checked mine with different email addresses and it never got delivered to inbbox.. I used the browser on my phone to send mails and it gets delivered. However, mails from my hub never gets delivered to the inbox. What test am I supposed to carry out again?

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.
@olu maybe you have not upgraded ur OS. If u have a dual OS blackberry and android you will likely have same c challenges.

My phone runs OS 10.3.2. That's the latest OS. It was released about 2 weeks ago.

I never found this matter when I used Blackberry before.
One thing that made me left Blackberry is the process time is too long, and for me it is very annoying
That is why I decided to use Samsung instead of Blackberry
