Earlier this day, Blackberry-maker Research in Motion reported an outage of one of its email servers, leading to several problems for Blackberry users throughout the country, including the unavailability of email, registration, and World wide web browsing services. According to RIM, voice services weren’t affected.

The email server went down at around 3:20 Eastern, and within 15 minutes, all of the Blackberry carriers had been notified of the problem. Within a few hours, almost all of the services were up, with the notable exception of a somewhat slow Verizon Wireless system, according to CNN/Money.

RIM apologized shortly after the outage was announced, but that may not satisfy bummed out users who depend on their daily dose of the Crackberry.

This is the third major outage for the company in the last year.
