Setting Up E-mail Service

Figure 5. Settings for a new e-mail account

The mailbox type and host names for the POP3/IMAP4 and SMTP servers are defined on the Servers page (Figure 6).
Note that the

mailbox type cannot be changed after the e-mail account settings have been saved! IMAP4 is the

default mailbox type, but it can be changed to POP3. IMAP4 enables selective attachment downloading and also
access to other folders than the Inbox on the remote mail server.

Figure 6. Selecting the mailbox type and entering host names

Other settings (on the Retrieve and Advanced pages) include default message types (HTML or plain text), when

messages are sent (immediately, on next connection to the e-mail account, on request only), and signatures.

The Advanced page also contains the option to select a secure connection (SSL). If the secure connection is set, the

Nokia 9290 Communicator tries to negotiate SSL/TLS encryption using appropriate STLS or STARTTLS commands
within the same TCP session (see RFC 2487 and RFC 2595). Implementations that use separate ports for secure
connections are not supported. Note that the e-mail client does not accept an insecure connection if the secure
connection is required in e-mail settings.

After you have filled in all details, press Close to close the dialogs and the new e-mail account appears in the

Messaging application as shown in Figure 7.
