I've got this issue as well. Most annoying! Did you find a solution?



Other things missing so far are: Threaded view and Archiving.

Oh and adding stars and being able to view or add tags.

I'm now using
Mail - nokia messaging
Calendar - MFe

any thoughts on what to use for google tasks?

For me overall Gmail works well with the built-in mail client.

But, if I delete spam messages from the phone, then they do not get removed. If I look through the web client, the messages are still there just it shows they have been read.

Hi,

I don't know if anyone is going to be able to help on this. Like other posters, I cannot connect to gmail: "Unable to connect to imap.gmail.com. Server name or port number may be incorrect."

This is a brand new N900, which I have updated to latest software (2.2009.51-1.203.2). Problem was there before and after updating.

I have tried using the Wizard, and I have tried Ipaddikt's instructions. Both give the same results. I have meticulously checked all the details, and done this many many times now.

I do not have a (valid) SIM in my phone because it's not being activated until Tuesday, but I am able to connect to the internet via wi-fi with no problems - browser works fine. I don't see any reason this shouldn't work over wi-fi..?

I have IMAP enabled in Google. Also Yahoo (POP) email fails in the same way on the N900. I suspect it's not a problem with the email settings, but a problem with the way it's trying to connect, or something like that.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks!

Could anyone clarify what's the point of https://email.nokia.com/?

I don't see any way to login there.

What I'm doing wrong?

1. Setup new email account on N900: Email->New Account->Nokia Messaging->Put in my gmail details.
2. Tried to login to https://email.nokia.com/ with same details, but I get password/login wrong message...

Hi ppl !
now i have a very strange issue with the nokia messaging service !
Everywhere i read that i can set it up adding new account and select the nokia messaging service from the drop down menu list in SERVICE PROVIDER !
BUT, THE PROBLEM IS I AM NOT ABLE TO FIND THE NOKIA MESSAGING SERVICE inside the service provider list !!

I tried changing the region to US Uk and India also , but i couldn get through !
Please help ! wat do i do ?

i am not even sure if this Thread is active !

but still ,,, thanks in advance for the help !

P.S :- i am on the newst firmware of n900 i.e:- 10.2010.19-1.002

Some service provider for example in my case is T-Mobile blocking Nokia Messaging and you cant find it in E-mail setting. So just remove SIM card and replace with dummy one and you will be able to see it and setup account.

Same problem here, it drives me crazy. Although i am not sure which of my email accounts i used firt with the NM, none of them work!
I can use my accounts like normal IMAP accounts although i now set them up through NM, but no difference to the normal accounts set up without it. And on the Nokia mail page there is no hint as to where to ask for help.....

I have no idea what else to try.

Nokia Messaging has a nasty "bug". Breaks down like that:
When you register a Nokia Messaging account on the device itself, your account details will be the same as the first email address you would like to poll with it. Now, Nokia Messaging has a password policy, the password has to be of a certain complexity. If the password for the email account you would like to configure doesnt match the complexity Nokia Messaging wants, you can't setup the account. A corrupted account gets setup respectively. Why?

To poll the email account, address and password of the account has to be provided. If password isn't good enough for Nokia, a faulty Nokia Messaging account will be created which cannot be used. If you provide a strong enough password for Nokia Messaging, which doesnt match your accounts password, a faulty Nokia Messaging account will be created which cannot be used because of the password not matching your account password.

Workaround: email Nokia about this and let them remove the insufficiently passworded and thus faulty Nokia Messaging account from their database. Once removed, set a stronger password for your (Gmail)account and recreate the account in Nokia Messaging.

The way I got it done: I didnt want to wait for Nokia to clean up the database, so I tried a different approach. If you have several email addresses and anyone/some of them is suffisingly passworded, use that account in Nokia Messaging. After you have a working Nokia Messaging account, you can add any insufficiently passworded accounts you like. Example: 2 accounts, 1 Hotmail with strong PW, 1 Gmail with simple PW. On the device, register a "Hotmail-Nokia-Messaging" account using the strong Hotmail password. Once succeeded, add your "insecure" Gmail account to Nokia Messaging later.
So my Nokia Messaging login is user@hotmail.com and this account polls, at the same time, my hotmail and my Gmail account. And the Gmail password I never changed. Got an email reply two weeks later though, the account has been purged from the database

"and lacks functionality"......"Fortunately Gmail offers both POP and IMAP"

This is the main reason I dont use my N900, and then you get these ill educated statements.

can you please fking tell me what is so fortunate about pop3 ??? this is 2010 you do know that ?????

Can you please point out what functionality POP/IMAP provides OVER Activesync ?


hahhahaha I just had to read that again "so you can effectively use those protocols for your N900 syncing".....hahahahah pop3 syncing............................I like you man, you are so funny.
