7.1 Introduction
For reading and sending e-mail via the Nokia 9290 Commu-
nicator remote e-mail client, you need to have an Internet
Access Point (IAP) configured to your Nokia 9290 Commu-
nicator. For further information on how to configure IAPs,
please refer to Chapter 6 – Nokia 9290 Communicator and
Internet Service.
You also need to have an e-mail account that supports
SMTP protocol for sending e-mail, and POP3 or IMAP4rev1
protocol for receiving e-mail. You can also have multiple
e-mail accounts in the Nokia 9290 Communicator.
Note: The necessary settings for mail configuration are
provided by your e-mail service provider. Depending on your
service provider, you may not need to fill in all of the settings.
If your mail settings are incomplete or incorrect, please
contact your service provider. An e-mail service provider
can be your company or a commercial ISP, for example.
Important information that must be filled in when defining
a new e-mail account includes:
• Host name to receive mail (IMAP4 or POP3
e-mail server)
• Host name to send mail (SMTP server)
• Mailbox type (which protocol to use, either POP3 or
IMAP4)
• Username (case sensitive)
• Password (case sensitive, displayed using asterisks (*))
• Dial-in access point for the mail service
• Use of secure connection (i.e., require SSL/TLS
encryption to be used)
7.2 Mail settings
In order to connect to your electronic mailbox service, you
need to define your remote mailbox on your Nokia 9290
Communicator. This can be made from the Messaging
application main view under Menu (see figure below) or
from that shortcut (Internet Start up) in the Desk application.
To define a new remote mailbox:
1. Press the Menu key in the main view of the Messaging
center and first select Tools, then Accounts. A list of
accounts opens.
2. Press Create new to create an e-mail account. You’ll
get the following dialog:
3. Select Email and press OK. A dialog with four
pages opens.
4. Define the settings on the General, Servers, Retrieve,
and Advanced pages below.
5. You must fill in at least:
• Username used to log in the POP3/IMAP4 e-mail server
• Password for the POP3/IMAP4 e-mail server
• Your e-mail address (e.g., for replies to messages you
have sent)
• Outgoing e-mail server (host name for SMTP server)
• Incoming e-mail server (host name for IMAP4 or
POP3 server)
6. Press Delete to discard any changes.
7. Press Close to accept the changes you have made.
7.3 General page
1. Enter the name of the remote mailbox under My
account name. The name can be entered freely (e.g., My
mail, John’s mail, etc.).
2. Type your name (note: your name appears here auto-
matically if you have entered your contact card),
username, and password.
Tip: Usually the name and password are the same ones you
use for your Internet Access Point (PPP authentication).
However, if your e-mail service provider is different from
the Internet service provider, this may not be the case. Note
that both the username and password are case-sensitive
(capitalization of letters matters). If you do not specify a
password, you will be prompted for one when you try to
read mail in your remote mailbox.
3. My mail address: Type in the e-mail address given to
you by your service provider. The address must contain
the @ character. This address will be shown as the
originating (From) address in your messages.
4. Choose the Internet Access Point used for the mailbox.
Choose from the list that contains all available IAPs.
Note that you must be able to connect to the remote
mailbox via the given IAP. For example, if you are
accessing your company’s intranet mailbox, you may
need to use your company’s intranet Internet Access
Point as well.
5. Choose Default account from the list, which contains
all available mail accounts.
