nokia messaging problem (result of firmware update?)
 

just tried to setup nokia messaging on my wife's phone. mine was setup a few weeks ago. mine was with the original production firmware, both of our phones are now on PR1.1.

when i try to setup her existing nokia messaging acct, when i select nokia messaging as the service provider in the setup wizard it prompts me for email and password, but then after that it wants pop and imap settings. i put the correct nokia msg credentials in the first prompt, but its as if it thinks its an email i want to include in nokia messaging, because it then wants username, email box type, smtp, etc.

instead of the login itself. in other words, the only prompts i can find are to setup a new acct! i dont remember my installation having these issues.

shes going out of town tomorrow and id love to have email setup and ready.

nobody?

guess i'll skip nok. messaging and go straight to ima on our server. so much for ease and portability of nok. msg.

Hi,

This is my first post as I just aquired my N900 today.

I had the exact same problem this evening. I searched around the net to find a solution and nobody had one. Until now!! Sorry, abit overly dramatic there.

Anyway, it is quite simple, I just put in dummy data into each of the required fields. I used a fullstop '.' then clicked next when prompted. It then just worked.

It is a silly bug, but there you are. Enjoy.
