Im in the US chris, it seems what you have to do is:

On n900 click email,
click the email title bar to create a new acct
new acct then next
then you'll have an option to pick a provider, click the drop down box under Service provider, then select nokia messaging, next
then type in the credentials for your email acct, ie. (gmail = yourname@gmail.com
pw=gmail acct password
next then finish

And Thanks Venom, i posted in another thread asking about this a half hour ago. cheers!

Re: yahoo - push webmail to n900
 
My other question is, I initially set up my gmail acct on my N900 before hearing about this nokia messaging, now that i setup this messaging, should i delete the gmail acct i created initially? Will it intefere with nokia messaging? Will i have double emails?



You know, it kinda sucks that they dont tell you this is a trial until after you signup and then there's no price of whats it gonna be after the trial period. wth o_0???

It is definitely *NOT* what we want.
Choosing "Nokia Messaging" as email provider is just generic imap4 setup. It *WILL NOT* push.

Actually IMAP does have an e-mail push facility. The feature is called iDLE. If the N900 mail client has the capability and the IMAP sever also has this capability, you have e-mail push. So the $64,000 question is, does the N900 mail client support IDLE?

IMAP Idle for Push Email

Many modern mail servers support the IMAP Idle feature, which allows your email client to monitor an inbox. Sadly Modest on the N900 has this feature disabled for power reasons.

actually it does as I have sent a few test messages last night. picked it right up, delay of about 30-40 secs after pressing send. The question really is, how much is this service after the trial period? and how long is this trial period? :confused:

i doubt that it is a trial period..i'm sure since the device being a premium device, nokia includes the cost of nokia messaging in the cost of the device...again i have a pro account of yahoo mail and get 0 spam yes ZERO spam, unlike someone who said he gets viagra emails, so i can setup a normal pop with 15 min refresh..its pretty ok..20$ a year cheap and fantastic...better than gmail
