Reinstalling Nokia Messaging on N900

Is there a way to reinstall Nokia Messaging as an email provider on the N900? Mine disappeared a few days ago.

Re: Reinstalling Nokia Messaging on N900

That does not work..

 

When you log into the messaging service, and press the "install now" button, it does take you to a page where you can select your device. The N900 is listed, and you can send the settings to your phone.

 

However when you receive the message on your phone, and navigate using the URL you received, this screen is shown.

Your N900 is not a symbian device, so trying to install any of those will prove useless.

Have you tried this:

  1. Menu
  2. E-Mail
  3. E-Mail (top of the page, with the drop down arrow)
  4. New account
  5. Next
  6. Service provider
  7. Nokia Messaging
  8. Done

Then enter your credentials.

Re: Reinstalling Nokia Messaging on N900

Happy New Year!

 

Unfortunately Nokia Messaging is not visible in the list. Is there a specific country that I must select to get it? I try US, UK but no matter which one I select, I don't see it.

 

I got an SMS but as mentioned in this thread, only Symbian links are provided.

 

Any ideas how I can resolve this?

 

Thank you in advance.

Re: Reinstalling Nokia Messaging on N900

I have tried your steps but Nokia Messaging is not part of the choices under Service Provider.

 

What do you recommend next?
