Try that method you will probably find it more user friendly

Re: E71 IMAP Email Problem

No I haven't either.

It kind of defeats the point doesn't it? I bought this phone costing hundreds of pounds to operate mobile email and web browsing, on the basis of the reports I had read. Now it looks as though all that is open to me is an email workaround rather than a proper solution for something that should not really be a problem for a phone of this supposed sophistication.

I must say I am very disappointed but nonetheless grateful for your efforts here. It would be interesting to find out how many other people have this problem and whether it is an issue that Nokia will endeavour to solve.

Re: E71 IMAP Email Problem

To be honest I perfer Gamil over my hosts mailbox system.. I dont really see it as defeting the point but more as a clever and simple solution..

I can certainly understand your frustration esp as the handset is a costly business device and should support the providers emails driectly.

Re: E71 IMAP Email Problem

Hi, I found this post via google since I was also looking for why I could not get netaddress to work with IMAP on my nokia e65

 

After some investigation working with netaddress support the following is the conclusion:

 

Thank you for your reply. We tested the email client of Symbian OS on Nokia 5800 Express Music and on N82. We're sorry to inform you that IMAP is not compatible with Symbian's email client. We can send emails but can't receive emails. We would like to apologize for the inconvenience. We have forwarded this concern to our developers to make our system compatible with Symbian OS. If you have any question or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

 

So in summary we need to wait to see if they can fix it. All I can suggest in the meantime is to forward your email to a gmail account and use gmail IMAP to pick up your messages. Not ideal but best I can suggest for now.

Re: E71 IMAP Email Problem

Hi Al24, I gave up trying to use the E71's email client some time ago - it really is quite useless for IMAP and your reponse confirms that.

 

I did use gmail for a while but I soon ditched it and instead downloaded Emoze. It's free for 1 email account and works seamlessly with the E71. Give it a whirl, it is much better than faffing with a gmail workaround.

Re: E71 IMAP Email Problem

Hello Friends,

                      Regarding this e-mail problem with usa.net; I am using Nokia e-mail service (it is free) through this service/software usa.net works very good without any issues. I am using it for over a year now and I don't have any issues.Just search for Nokia e-mail.
