7.4 Servers page
1. Press the Menu key to activate the Servers tab.
2. Select Mail account type (POP3 or IMAP4). This defines
the mail protocol your mailbox service provider recom-
mends. If you are allowed to choose between these two
protocols, you should select IMAP if you are working
with multiple folders and receive a lot of attachments,
and POP if you have a single incoming mail folder and
receive no attachments. POP may be slightly faster in
some situations, but IMAP gives the user more control
over the mailbox and mail retrieval. Note that mailbox
type cannot be changed after the e-mail account set-
tings have been saved!
3. Enter the Outgoing mail server IP address or host name.
This is also known as the SMTP server, sending server,
or mail relay. When you are sending e-mail, your Nokia
9290 Communicator connects to this server and sends
the mail. This server will then relay the mail towards
the recipient’s mail server (e.g. 123.123.123.123 or
mail.server.com).
4. Enter the Incoming mail server IP address or host name.
This is also known as the IMAP or POP server (depending
on the account type) or the remote mailbox server. When
you receive mail, the mail will be stored on this server.
During mail retrieval, your Nokia 9290 Communicator
connects to this server in order to download mail.
7.5 Retrieve
Press the Menu key to activate the Retrieve tab and fill in
the following settings:
• Retrieve: Choose what will be fetched from the remote
mailbox when the connection is established. The
options are: Message headers (stay online)/Messages
and attachments/Messages. The last option is available
only if the Mail account type is IMAP4.
• Max. size of message: The maximum size of a message
that will be retrieved with the Retrieve mail command.
The minimum is 1 and the maximum is 1000 kB
(kilobytes). One kilobyte corresponds to approximately
half of a written page of plain text. Max. size of
message also includes attachments.
• Synchronize: Sync your mail folders.
7.6 Advanced page
Press the Menu key to activate the Advanced tab and fill
in the following settings if necessary. Contact your e-mail
service provider for the correct settings.
• Default mail type: Select the type of mail that you can
write and send from your Nokia 9290 Communicator.
The options are Plain text/Plain text (no MIME)/
Formatted text (HTML).
• If you are using accented characters, you should use
either Plain text or Formatted text. Otherwise,
accented characters will not be transferred correctly.
• For the best compatibility across existing electronic
mail systems, choose Plain text. If you are only com-
municating with people with new, graphical e-mail
systems, you can choose Formatted text. Formatted
text may not be correctly shown to recipients with
older, text-based e-mail systems.
• Use Plain text (no MIME) only if corresponding with
people with old e-mail systems.
• Send mail: Choose how mail messages are sent from
your Nokia 9290 Communicator. The options are Imme-
diately/During next connection/Upon request.
• Bear in mind that if you select During next connection,
the mail will be sent during the next connection
to that mailserver, not during the next connection
to the Internet.
• Include signature: Select whether your signature is
attached to sent mail. The options are No/Use my
contact card/Custom. If you choose Custom, press Edit
signature to create a signature.
• Request read report: Select whether you want to
receive a report when the recipient has read your mail.
The options are Yes/No.
• Not all e-mail software can generate a read report.
A read report should not be used as proof that a
mail has been read or not read. Usually the recipient
can decide whether a read report will be generated
or not.
• Some mail systems call read reports “read receipts”
or “disposition notifications.”
• Allow report requests: This option defines whether the
Nokia 9290 Communicator will generate a “read
report” mail to the Outbox if received mail requires it.
The options are Yes/No.
• Read reports will be generated in your outbox. The
Nokia 9290 Communicator will reply to standard
disposition notification requests and some non-
standard requests. Depending on the sender’s mail
system, a read report may not be generated. If the
sender’s mail system does not support standard
disposition notifications, the mail system may not
be capable of utilizing the information in the read
report automatically.
• Copy to my mail address: Select whether you want
to send a copy of sent mail to your own mail address.
The options are Yes/No.
