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.

Not to forget the push function. No imap idle in Modest, remember?

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

If its missing its probably because you dont have a 3g connection or the servers were busy when the wizard started. Often a reboot seems to bring it back. As mentioned before the main fearture of Nokia Messging is that it turns your common old garden webmail to push email like magic. Also remember that both Hotmail and Yahoo only offer POP access, no IMAP

Checked both on a 3G connection and WLAN. Also after reboots. Doesn't show up. It didn't seem like the servers are busy because it only took a few seconds to "check availability".

I have a feeling that the issue might be the fact that I'm living in Israel (yes, I have a sim card inserted).

So, the only difference between NM and the normal setup is the push ability?

Not sure about Israel. perhaps you can check on the website http://www.email.nokia.com. One of the guys in the US had the same problem, and said it appeared after he re flashed his device.

Yes the main thing is push for up to 10 email addresses.

Could make a difference - according to this post on the Nokia Suport forum the Nokia Messaging service is being re-sold to networks in some countries, which means if you're on another network in the same country you cannot get Nokia Messaging.

in certain countries Nokia Messaging is a service that has been re-sold to a carrier as a private label messaging service and is only available if you use that carriers network. As an example in France if you are not on the Orange network you can not get Nokia Messaging....no matter how much you try.

Perhaps another network in Israel has white-labeled Nokia Messaging which is preventing you from accessing it on your network?

@mikec - any idea how to tell if the N900 is taking advantage of push? I've configured the N900 to use Nokia Messaging for my Zen ISP POP servers, would push be supported when the remote mailserver is POP based? The NM client is set to "Send & Receive immediately", however Modest has another setting to "update every 30 minutes". Pretty sure I'm only receiving email periodically rather than immediately.

Ok this makes a bit more sense but the funny thing is, I am on the Orange network (Orange Israel)... though I got this phone directly from Nokia and not from my carrier, so they don't even know my SIM is in the N900. May be they need to activate NM for me or something?

I'd hate for refashing to be the only way to solve this issue. Does anybody have the settings for nokia messaging? Perhaps we can enter them manually into the N900?

I have a question: I set up my Dutch provider directly, as well as through Nokia Messaging. They both are working well, so I get each message twice with 0 - 15 min in between. .I think NM is the first one. Which one to delete or should I keep both for some reason? Is e.g. syncing through NM 'stimulate' syncing of my Dutch provider?

I'd keep the NM account as you can specify the syncing schedule (ie. between 08:00 and 00:00) and you should also be getting the benefit of "Push" email if you have set the syncing period to "As soon as possible" (and it seems you have).

The email account of your Dutch provider will only be checked/synced according to the global "Update interval" (every 5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins etc.).

Based on your comment I'd say you have NM set to "As soon as possible" and the global update interval is 15 minutes, which would explain the behaviour you are seeing.
