What I was trying to say is that intially i used the pre-installed email client (on menu screen shown as @ symbol) this went okay and I was able to set up my tiscali pop3 & hotmail accounts - both worked fine.

However within this there was no place to elect at what times the email client sync'd with my email accounts - thus it would do this through the night unless I went into the settings manually at night and unselcted the check box to 'automatically sync via any connection'. I was used to using Nokia messaging and thus its sync time settings as having previously used it on my E71 & N97.

So I have been to https://netac28.vie.hosting.nokia.com to set up a Noki messaging client for my N900 and I followed the following steps:
a) put in my number in international format - 447956*******
b) selected the phone - N900
c) entered my email - ***********@tiscali.co.uk
d) email password (have checked this on my PC with password saved in PC email client)
e) user name (checked on PC as above)
f) entered their security characters

however no matter how many times i re-enter this data and check that it is all typed correctly etc the following error appears:

'Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again.'

So I can't find what I am doing wrong so I am unable to install Nokia messaging on my N900.

Any ideas?

Set it up at http://email.nokia.com with user friendly interface.
Don't attempt to set it on the device, it's complicated and sometime doesn't work.
The website will attempt to get the settings automatically or you can manually enter it. If it works, you will see a Success message straight away.
Then just go go Nokia Messaging on the device and your Tiscali mailbox will be there all setup ready to go.
