How To : Set up an Email Account Inside Nokia Messaging

Published by Steve Litchfield at 20:25 UTC, May 17th 2009

In the third of his tutorial series looking at Nokia Messaging, Asri al-Baker looks at the email setup process, using the Nokia 5800 as a guinea pig device. This guide applies for all users who are not using the E75 (at the moment) because this has a different (newer) version of Nokia Messaging. Asri explains the decision point about dropping back to S60 Messaging or deciding to press on with the (beta, but soon-to-be-commercial) 'push' service, the core of Nokia Messaging.

"Assuming you followed our instructions to get Nokia Messaging officially and successfully installed it in your S60 smartphones, you can launch the setup from the application launcher. It is labelled as “Email Setup”. There are 2 similar icons. The other one is labelled “Email”. Dont touch that for now. Just select “Email Setup” and you must give it permission to connect for the first time. It will test the network to verify you have a working internet connection because it needs to connect to Nokia's server."

@David

1. Have you tried the following? :
- Go to http://email.nokia.com using your desktop internet browser
- Login using your primary email address that you use in Nokia Messaging
- Choose the account that you want to edit by clicking on "Edit Setting".
- You can specify the SMTP server on that page.

2. Another way of doing it is using the Nokia Messaging application itself :
- 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"
- Follow the instruction on the screen where it will ask the POP/IMAP and SMTP server.

3. My next write-up in the series will illustrate how to use Nokia Messaging with ISP/hosting server.

Cheers!

I've set the programme up to fetch my emails every 15 minutes and it works perfectly. I don't see the need to have a subscribed service for 'push email'.......and the programme works great on my Nokia 5800

1. Profimail is a great email app.

2. Different people different needs.

Cheers!
