Setting Up E-mail Service

Figure 7. A new e-mail account in the Messaging application

Now you are ready to use the Retrieve mail command to connect to the newly defined e-mail account and fetch

messages. The very first time the connection to a IMAP4 account may take a longer time, depending on the number of
mail messages in the remote Inbox and also the number of remote mail folders, because the device fetches message
headers and scans remote folders for subscriptions. Subsequent Retrieve mail commands should work faster as only

changed folder data is downloaded in the device.

4. Configuring the E-Mail client with Smart Messages

The Nokia 9290 Communicator supports basic Internet Access Configuration smart messages. Only Basic Mail
configuration messages can be used, as Extended Mail configuration messages are not supported. Configuration
messages are specified in the Smart Messaging Specification (revision 2.0.0), available at http://www.forum.nokia.com.

Smart messages make it possible to define and to send e-mail configurations ready for each user. When the user
receives a smart message defining a new e-mail account, a confirmation dialog is displayed. The user just needs to
accept the new e-mail configuration, and it is ready for use.

Note that smart messages are implemented as BIO (bearer-independent objects) in the Symbian EPOC platform. For
more information about remote configuration, see the Nokia 9290 Remote Configuration Guide.
