some people have reported this as missing, a reboot seems to bring it back. I believe that you do need a sim card installed.

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.

Well of course if you do not have a Nokia messaging account (which is most people) then the 1 click email/password works pretty good.

I'd have thought that for those with existing NM accounts it should be 1 click email/password setup too - sadly that doesn't seem to be the case at all!

lots of confusion about login into email.nokia.com. You login at email.nokia.com is your email and password that you used on your n900 ie your gmail address and password

I wish I could help, but it's all a bit convoluted IMHO.

Previously you would create a Nokia Messaging account at www.email.nokia.com, then use that account username & password to configure the Nokia Messaging email client on the device - all the email settings would be provided from your Nokia Messaging account.

On the N900, that doesn't seem to be how it now works or if it is meant to be how it works it simply isn't working properly (at least not for me).

Yep, that's what I've been using and it's not working.

I've been entering my Nokia Messaging login and password into the N900 when it prompts me for the username and password, the N900 goes off to "Acquire email settings" then dumps me into the "Advanced Settings" dialog where I have to enter everything from scratch.

One thing I did note, is that when I entered my Zen username and password the device created me a new Nokia Messaging account (I received the "Welcome to Nokia Messaging" email, and I can now login with my Zen username at email.nokia.com). So using my Zen username to configure Nokia Messaging wasn't a great success. For some bizarre reason the client is ignoring my current and valid Nokia Messaging username & password.

All the steps I have been taking are in bug #6955 and these steps should (I think) result in a working Zen email account but it's as if my Nokia Messaging account doesn't exist.

Wow I'm very confused. If you guys are trying to use Nokia Messaging in order to get your gmail, yahoo, zen, whatever accounts, then why not just select them from the "list of providers" on your N900. Choosing "Nokia Messaging" from the list of providers does exactly what??

(I don't know because it's not even listed for me)

My internet service provider isn't listed, but it's already configured in my Nokia Messaging account.

In addition, the Nokia Messaging client has some nice synchronisation options - eg. only collect email every 30 minutes between 08:00 and 00:00 on a Mon-Fri. If I just setup a standard email connection with my ISP - ie. not through NM - then the N900 would be vibrating away throughout the night as it picked up new email, no thanks.
