Oh for fups sake! That's not what I had to do on the N85!!

So I entered my Zen email account username as the Nokia Messaging username and my Zen email password as the NM password and hey presto - straight to Finish! But now the account details it's retrieved are a bit stuffed up, since my Zen account username isn't my email username, and it hasn't picked up my "name" and I can't change that as it isn't recognising any password I enter... all a bit of a mess, not problems I had on the N85. I guess I'll just have to live with entering the details manually, but thanks anyway!

What I don't understand is why I couldn't just enter my NM username/password and then select which email accounts to add to the N900 from those I had pre-defined against my Nokia Messaging account. Surely that would have been easier? Entering the username and password of each individual account still seems wrong.
