I have been testing power usage comparing disconnected mode and always on mode, the difference is .01W (0.13W & 0.14W)..... not so much.
5KB uplink and 4KB downlink in 30 minutes.....
What do you think?

Hi there I'm testing the Nokia Messaging on my Nokia N96 with latest firmware 20.050 (Italy). My carrier is TRE (H3G Italy).

Some questions:

1) I have setup 2 email accounts for testing purpose on Nokia's site at http://email.nokia.com/account/home.action; given the 2 email accounts, it looks like I'm getting alerts only on the primary account. Is this normal? Notice that both accounts are shown in the configuration on the phone....

2) Is this a PUSH technology software? Or do I miss what a PUSH technology software is? I'm asking because I thought PUSH email was something like "a sort of SMS is sent to the phone, so the phone will know there's an email waiting to be read". Instead it looks like, the phone needs a permanent network access to the Internet....because the email client on the phone has an open port where the server pushes notifications as soon as an email is received...Is it so? I ask because I have noticed that once the access point is set to default, the phone switches to an always-on connection to the internet. Frighten about bandwidth usage I have noticed that network usage is almost zero.... but what I dislike is that the phone will be using more power to keep-alive the connection to the Internet. Am I right?

Comments welcome

For alternative ways round the problem and my experiments, see:

http://www.new.betalabs.nokia.com/forum/topic/2835

As I say there, IMV Profimail is exactly what a mailer should look like (and you buy it once). I understand there are many people who don't like emoze. In any case, NM and its account setup is by far the worst I've seen for ages.

Solved my problem from earlier in the thread - don't download this software from the Web browser on the phone (at least on the N82 anyway). It's not the up to date version and leads to a new mailbox in the Messaging application instead.

I downloaded via my PC and it worked - much quicker and it allowed me to choose my wi-fi connection at home.

Sorted...

Of course, this app does seem to run the battery into the ground if it's left in online mode (again, on my N82 anyway).

Rubissh email setup procedure

I am wondering whose idea was that 'easy' email setup! It failed to guess the settings with all three accounts I tried it. With the first two it gave me the option to set things up myself and they worked eventually. However, the second one comes up on my E71 without my From name and when I try to define it on the phone, it checks and responds with 'verification failed', although it looks OK on the website!

Now, with the third one, it says it fails to connect with the server, obviously because from the email address alone it guesses the server name wrong, but this time it won't let me enter my own settings because it seems to think it knows better. I had to try a trick similar to the 1@2.cc, but it won't allow me to define security settings (which should be on this time) and then it fails to connect. What a mess! I can't remember how many clients and web aggregators I have set up in my life. This is by far the most amateurish implementation I've seen. Without access to the third account I will have to remove the application altogether, but as I found out after I had already downloaded and installed it, and after I set up two accounts, Nokia wasted a lot of my time. Why exactly Nokia can't do what mail2web and many others do is beyond me. In my view, good lack to those who don't have a hotmail, yahoo, aol etc account.

Hi Asri,

I tried your method. I can set up the mailbox but it will not get the other folders that I have set up. I can get to them via ProfiMail but not any Nokia software.

ProfiMail has no problem at all.

@sapporobaby

1. Have you tried the following? :
- In your S60 phone, go to Application Launcher aka Menu
- Select "Email Setup"
- When it asks you to enter your email address, enter the following "1@2.cc"
- It will say it doesnt recognise the email address, and will prompt you to enter the POP/IMAP server.

2. After you have set your me.com email using this, go to your Nokia Messaging account using desktop browser http://email.nokia.com

3. Click on "Edit Setting" next to the me.com email.

4. There's a setting to sync IMAP folder.

Let me know how this goes.

Cheers!

Cheers!

2. sapporobaby, I know you have tried and you also commented on that thread. I dont know what to say because I dont use me.com account.

3. I have assisted friends and clients to configure IMAP folders in Nokia Messaging for different emails (gmail, yahoo, and also a their own domains) and so far, they can sync IMAP folders without problem.

cheers!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the help. After multiple tries I have come to the conclusion that Nokia Mail is not compatible with Apple's MobileMe service. I can config the mail settings just fine and it will go and get the normal Inbox, Sent, Drafts, etc... from the IMAP server, but it simply will not get the remaining mailboxes. I have done refreshes, re-syncs, etc... but nothing works. However, with the same config info ProfiMail works flawlessly. Nokia could learn a thing or two from them.

MfE and Nokia messaging

Hi there,

I have had MfE first installed, than I downloaded Nokia Messaging, and there wasn't a function like to setup an exchange/corporate mailbox... I guess I need to remove both application and re-install only NMessaging... Is this true?

It's not a problem I am happy with both, MfE for corporate, NM for gmail.
The only problem is with the NM that it doesn't sync automatically, I need to sync every time manually, if I would like to send an e-mail, or check if there is something new.
Within MfE you can setup 15 minutes for example, which a good option for me too. I would be nice to have in NM too.

And an other issue, that I don't have send meeting req. anywhere, and cannot accept meetings mailed to me, and arrives in MfE... Any idea?
I have a full synced calendar with my corporate exchange, but to send and accept a meeting is not available...

Cheers,
Keksz

1. It's Nokia "Messaging", not _Messenging_ ;-)

2. Errr... Nokia Messaging is still free at the moment. The plan to make it a paid service is not implemented to all parts of the world yet. So, what's wrong in trying free stuff ;-) And help improving it? ;-)

1. Yes. Profimail is an excellent product. And there are choices out there. For email, there's Profimail, System Seven, Emoze, Mail For Exchange, RoadSync and now we have Nokia Messaging. Choices are good for us! ;-)

Any thoughts?

@Tenkom

1. Go to http://email.nokia.com

2. Login using your Nokia Messaging account.

3. There's an option to Edit your account. You can specify your SMTP server.

4. You can also set different SMTP on the device but that would require you to delete the email address first from inside Nokia Messaging.

Please try this and let me know.

Cheers!

@nudger,

1. I understand your frustration. However, like I always said, Nokia Messaging is still in development stage and there are lots of things need to be ironed out.

2. Please dont give up. I want to share something with you. Delete the account that you just created (use S60 Messaging - Options -> Settings -> Email -> Delete account). Then, setup your Nokia Messaging, enter the following email address : 1@2.cc and follow the onscreen instruction. It will say "email address unrecognised" or something like that and it will prompt you to enter your email POP/IMAP server. And you must press "Yes" when it asks for Automatic delivery. It can be changed to manual later. If this fails to setup your email account in Nokia Messaging, let me know.

1. I am not the best person to talk about Nokia Messaging, but should you need assistance, you can email me personally at asri AT i-symbian DOT com.

cheers!
