Mail client problem when using Lithuanian characters
 

Mail client on N900 is terrible. When open it the circle rolls for half a minute, then when I try to open a mail it says failed to retrieve message from server, or something like that on some letters. Yesterday I got important mail and it looked like that

Hello,

WTF?

Today I checked my mail when I was still in bed, oh great no new mails. NO! There was 5 when I logged in on gmail.com.

Any solutions?
Thanks :)

Sounds strange to me. Here everything works fine, push email as well.
Which provider do you use?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

GMAIL, all default settings. Also I am on WIFI.
P.S. There where is ? on my first post was a simple text no image or flash just text when i logged on gmail.com.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

works fine here also, both gmail and windows live mail, not sure what the problem could be, do you use pop3 or imap? maybe check the settings in googles mail site itself?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

IMAP, I'll try.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

theres push email on n900? thats news to me

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Status: IMAP is disabled
There is some translation errors on gmail, it says that it is off in Lithuanian when I switched language to english now it is on :D

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Yes, it is.
The fact that you can't mark more than one messages as read alone makes it awful.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

OP, while I agree that the client is not exactly great, I must say that the problems you describe does not sound like the common flaws of the email client. Do you have a giant mailbox? I hear that big mailboxes can cause problems.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Does that mean its working now?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

It was working all the time. No problems in my gmail account.
Yes the marking would be great....

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

so did u get it to work? it works fine for me. I am using Nokia Messaging (push mail) service. Though i have to say, hotmail emails dont get pushed as quickly as yahoo and gmail

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

It was on all the time, no problems in my gmail account. Just a lousy translation.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Any info how to setup push for gmail on N900?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Checked my mail again...

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

I get this every now and then - I think it might be down to some hidden characters in HTML e-mail messages. It always occurs in line breaks.

I also agree that the client is not very good. I use IMAP and POP3 and it regularly stalls, fails to delete, closes down.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Ok since this will not be fixed i guess. Can anyone help me to access mobile version of gmail? Like the one for android or iphone? Should i change user agent o just a link will do?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Well, maybe I'm wrong, but Nokia Messaging account behave exactly like push to me. Am I wrong?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Another thread where I raise Both eyebrows:

Why do people even respond? A Thread with "Mail client is crap on N900" as the title is no constructive post or help request, therefor there's absolutely no reason for people who have no problems with their device to post anything in response. It's a simple whine thread...right? :rolleyes:

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

It is push but not very reliable as not always instantaneous. My emails sometimes come as late as an hour later unlike blackberry where it is always instantaneous.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Sorry, but have you seen a screenshot above? Does this look like OK to you? Yes I need help to fix the crappy mail on my n900, but since this can fixed only by nokia i'll use gmail for android...

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

@esthreel - that image looks like maybe something wrong with the char set?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

nothing easier than that...

install hide-user-agent
go to settings->hide-user-agent
set user agent to
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1; en-us; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2
for android
or
Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10
for iPad

and so on...

the iPad double pane gmail doesnt work that well and android I did not try yet.

My useragent is set to something generic IE8 to prevent sites from showing me a 'mobile' version

feeling lucky?

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

I have installed android fonts, when i tried to delete them there was some kind dependency error...

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Yes I have seen your screenshot above, and it looks like you really have some trouble, but it can be the case of you not entering the right settings, or your provider doesn't like email. To be honest with you, it can be a list of reasons why it's not working, and I wouldn't mind helping out (since it's working perfectly for my n900) but what put me off is your title: "Mail client is crap on N900"

OK?

Rephrase, cut down on your language, in the end YOU want something from US, so be kind, be informative, be supportive, and you will be helped. As of now, you haven't really given us a bunch of information about your specific situation, so Im not sure whether we can help you out by using what you've supplied so far.

As I stated previously, for most of us the Email Client works fine, so Im sure there's is no reason why it shouldn't work for you.

EDIT: I agree, it's not the most sophisticated Mail client Nokia ever developed, but the most basic things work for me just fine, so Im not complaining :)

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

If it works for you doesn't mean it does for others.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

first off Delete any Nokia Messaging accounts if you have on your device. then logon to email.nokia.com and add your gmail account.

Now setup Nokia Messaging on your n900, thats it. It takes the account information from your email.nokia.com account and if you have setup gmail there, it will automatically pick up gmail and set it up on your n900.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

It's not free! I just got a mail that I am on a trial...

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Your missing the point.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Nokia states Trial Subscription because push mail service is a trial service from them. It started with Nokia E71 (which doesnt have inbuilt nokia messaging) like N900 today. To answer your question, It is FREE. Some people think they might start charging in the future but given Nokia started this service in rivalry to Blackberry, i am sure it will stay free

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

It's free at the moment. Gmail is free at the moment. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Sadly the email client is having a problem with the Lithuanian alphabet and that is what makes it appear crap to you - maybe someone can come up with a package to patch it (changing locale doesn't work).

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

You are GENIUS! That explains it all...

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

sounds lie a issue with ur settings it works just fine for me

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Did you read the post above? It is problem with ąčęėįšųūž letters.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Having used Nokia messaging since it launched a few years ago, let me say that the implementation on the N900 is easily the best one on all Nokia devices. I use my N900 as my primary email device and have never had any delays in message recep.tion. The only time it doesn't retrieve is when the battery is low.

Re: Mail client is crap on N900
 

Same for me, with 5 different accounts using IMAP, never a problem and i can see stored emails received when im offline.
