How To : Set up an Email Account Inside Nokia Messaging

icon

We have shown you how to get the Nokia Messaging client into your S60 smartphone and also how to manage IMAP folders inside Nokia Messaging. This time, we will look at the the email setup process. This guide applies for all Nokia Messaging users who are not using the E75 (at the moment) because this  (and soon, E55 and E52) has a different (newer) version of Nokia Messaging.

This tutorial is using Nokia Messaging for S60 5th Edition on the Nokia 5800. Everything is the same for S60 3rd Edition, FP1 and FP2, only the screenshots shown here are different. There's also another way, by logging in to http://email.nokia.com to set up emails to be used in Nokia Messaging, but that's for another writeup :-)

How To Get Nokia Messaging Officially

icon

This is part of a series where I will bring you a rundown of Nokia Messaging. It is the new application for managing emails on Nokia's S60 smartphones, which brings a massive improvements over the built-in S60 Messaging client. 

Nokia Messaging was officially announced by Nokia in December 2008 and many users were quite sceptical to see another service offered by Nokia. However, for many other users, especially those who have been waiting for a proper and powerful native S60 Email client, the news was happily accepted. However, please bear in mind that while all functions of Nokia Messaging are offered free at the moment, in the future, the situation will change.

Check out how to manage IMAP folders in Nokia Messaging here.

How to: Manage IMAP Folders in Nokia Messaging

icon

For years, serious email users on S60 demanded Nokia improve S60's email function. Nokia answered by giving us Nokia Messaging (a confusing name, it's an email client for now - maybe in the future, it will include other communication tools like Instant Messaging?...) In this tutorial, I will look at managing IMAP folders to be displayed inside Nokia Messaging.

Nokia and Mac - working beautifully?

icon

In a follow up to his popular series, from August 2008, investigating the practicalities of a S60 smartphone owner switching to an Apple Mac as the desktop counterpart, Steve Litchfield reports back after a couple of months of living the Mac life for real.

NB. It seems that some of the functionality below isn't applicable to Samsung S60 phones, e.g. The crucial Nokia Multimedia Transfer doesn't recognise a non-Nokia device. Fair enough, I guess, but something you should be aware of.

Camera Nitty Gritty - The Series Overview and Conclusions

icon

Over the last six months, I've tackled a number of phone camera-related issues head on and tried to draw conclusions, even though they sometimes fly in face of phone marketing. In this final part to the popular series, I'd like to provide an index to all the articles and also summarise some of the individual article conclusions.

Camera Nitty Gritty - Part 11 - Microscopy and defying the Megapixel Myth

icon

In part 1 of this series, Steve Litchfield looked at exposed camera glass on some phone models and investigated whether scratches really make a difference. In part 2, he investigated the pros and cons of LED/dual-LED/Xenon flashes in camera phones - does Xenon or dual LED flash make that much difference? In part 3, he investigated the fabled 'Megapixel myth' with an objective eye. In part 4, he focussed on the difference between good and poor optics (at the same camera resolution) and in part 5, he pitched all the top smartphone cameras head to head, in detail. In part 6, AAS guest writer Dirk Snoyt took up the theme of camera phone flash research and got all technical on the theme of colours... In part 7, I returned with a look at the difference optical zoom makes and ask the question "Is it better to have optical zoom or just much higher resolution?" Part 8 looked at phone camera video capture potential and part 9 looked at video focussing differences in Nokia's Nseries. Part 10 looked at the difference sensor and aperture size can make, for both stills and video.

In this, part 11, Steve looks at a specific positive from the presence of large numbers of megapixels and discovers yet another use for your smartphone.
