Tried searching for this but found nothing:

I have a Nokia e71 my provider being "3" (Swedish), yet I noticed that I will only get an email notification every 30 minutes and I do not know how to change it so that it can be even automatic whenever I get an email. The only way I can check it sooner is if I use the web browser which can be a pain at times, since I won't know when I get one or not.

Is this something that I may need to upgrade my software with.. or am I being blind and there is a less complicated way to fix this?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

"

retrieval settings

e-mail to retrieve: headers only

retrieval amount> from inbox: 30

automatic retrieval: >e-mail notifications: disabled

                              e-mail retrieval: disabled

(if you enable this, you can set how frequent your phohe checks fo e-mails(for example: every 5 minutes etc.). Just make sure that for "Access Point in Use", you set an access point. If it is left as "always ask" it cannot automatically check for e-mails.)"

That's what it said in the link that you gave me, unforunately.. the "automatic update" that I see on my phone has the soonest option of 30 minutes. I'm not sure if that's just my phone.. or maybe something I need updated to receive them sooner?

Sorry brother. It is completely my fault. I am the one who wrote those configurations. You are right, 30 minutes is the lowest.

BTW, anything below 30 minutes would eat your battery up in less than a day. If you do need to check you e-mails more frequently, you can use nimbuzz, a chat program, you can leave it running in the backgorund. but as I said, your phone wont make it through the day.

p.s.: you can also use windows live.

Do use windows live (that's the email account pretty much). Use to having my BlackBerry Bold with instant notifications of emails, so going to this gets frustrating. Thanks for your help though, guessing that is the standard thing of this phone.

But then what did you mean using windows live, as in browsing it through the internet on the phone to check it, or you mean through the email system on the phone itself?

[megirgin]

go to the download menu

open it

from the options select "refresh list"

then select applications

scroll down

you will see msn live

install it

it is the same msn live you have in your pc

voila!

Cheers

And that'll pretty much keep me updated more recently with emails? ><

[abcrunk]

Oh, and the MSN Live won't show up on my phone. Any reason for that?

[megirgin]

sorry. msn only gives you instant messaging. for emails 30 minutes is the lowest.

 I think I couldnt help you.

Blackberrys use their own servers to 'push' the email to the phones.  What they actually do is send a special text message through the phone network to your phone.  By doing this it helps battery life because your phone does not have to be connected to the email server 24/7.

All other 'push' email services like Nokia Email make you have a program in the background that stays connected to their server which eats up battery life.   Until someone makes a system similar to Blackberrys then the rest of us wont get real 'push' email.
