I am curious as to the purpose of the setting under ADVANCED / MAILBOX where you can set sync read status to yes or no. I prefer to have the read status not synced but this setting seems to have no effect. Anyone have information about this?
thanks!
mmm yeah... nokia email isn't another email client...but it is impossible develop new email client (or email system) without html capabilities...
AKo7Xe hi! how you doin?
If you cancel your account, submit feedback through the feedback form on email.nokia.com with the subject line "CANCELED ACCOUNT ACCIDENTALLY" and we'll reactive it for you. Thanks.
I second what Ricky said earlier on. I have an N78 running FP2 and there is no support for Nokia email. It seems that more and more new Nokias are FP2 why not release the client and let us few early adopters beta test this beta release before the heavy hitters like N85, N96 and N79 hit later in the year.
I love this software on E71 bring it to FP2.
mmmm You don't put in the new version the only real useful features: HTML Email support and Multiple Account support... so... i'm sorry but without this features your Email client is unuseful
Do the modern Nokias such as the E71 support Blackberry Enterprise yet? I have an E61 which does, Id like an E71 however it wont integrate into my companies mail policy. The iPhones HTML email is stunning, shame Nokia devices cant follow suit.
Why on Earth are you asking people to input the passwords for their external email services? Don't you realize what a huge security problem this creates?
Why should users trust you with their login credentials? Why should they believe that this information will never be compromised by attackers?
And why on Earth would Nokia want the liability associated with collecting login credentials for third-party email services? If something happens and said email service is compromised for a user, you've opened yourselves up to a legal and PR nightmare.
You really, really, really need to re-think how this service operates, and get someone with a strong security background to review the architecture and suggest changes. Proxying credentials like this is such a basic security mistake, it really makes me wonder what other security problems are hidden within (I was going to sign up for the service, but freaked out when I saw that you wanted my login credentials).
nothing special... is the same of internal client email of nokia e90
- no html support (we are in 2008 wake up nokia!!!, iphone, blackberry and others have got it....)
- no sync for contact.... i use gmail and was great to be able to sync contact and group contact from my gmail account...
is better to use gmail mobile application than nokia email
it's only more easy to configure it than internal email client... but nothing special

Just to briefly comment on features like HTML support - this is a very popular request from our users and something that is obviously important in email. This beta is the very first release of Nokia Email service - there's plenty of work we're doing to make it better and adding features, so what we have online today is by no means the final product.
Keep the feedback coming - at email.nokia.com, on these blog posts, around the internet. We're listening.

I have two email accounts at the Nokia email Service,
i have canceled one of the accounts but the email stays registered at the Service and i am not able to associate the email to my other accout, can someone tell me how to
remove/delete one of the accounts so that i can associate the email to my other account.
This is a very frustrating situation, i am not able to do nothing, and i am can
For me the main letdown right now is that it only supports one account. For this I see no added value in this client besides some eye candy. I now need to use the native client for two private accounts and Mail for Exchange for my business email. What will this be in the future? An obsolete native client, your new email service (if it is working with more than one account) and Mail for Exchange?
I'm not getting the marketing concept here. Is Nokia devided in little islands of developers that develop their own solutions to add to a reasonable complete OS like Symbian? Just add more functionality next to excisting functionality? Why not replace the native client for one that can do it all? Why would I, the 'normal' customer, use this service?
I've been using this on my N95 for a while, and really enjoy it. Unfortunately, when I got the Nokia 6220 Classic to review, I found that Nokia Email isn't 'compatible' with S60v3 FP2 devices yet. How is that? There's no binary break in S60v3 FP2 from FP1 or FP0 (for lack of a better term), and I have TONS of applications - both simple and complex - that work fine from my N95-3 to the 6220 Classic. Examples include Symella, Screenshot, Mobbler, Jaiku, Handy Taskman, Y-Browser, and the list goes on.
What is it about FP2 that Nokia Email doesn't 'support'? It's not an accelerometer-based application, and it doesn't require WiFi or GPS, so I'm failing to see the issue with compatibility - other than artificial, which frankly wouldnt' surprise me, as I've noticed that have been several instances of artificial software limitations.
Let's step up support for the newer devices, and quit this annoying practice of only partial acceptance.
I use both Mail for Exchange and Nokia Email. Exchange sucks the battery dry very fast and produces a lot of data transfers. How does Nokia Email measure up against Mail for Exchange? As i have differnet Mailboxes on both systems, i cannot do the comparison myself.
I use the system for my personal email, and it works fine 99% of the time. A couple of outages but it's a first beta release. I find it's reasonably quick on my e65 and much better than the built in email client and already well integrated. I must say I can't believe that blackberry was left alone on mobile email front for so long...
i also used the seven email system but my battery didn't last a day with it and it always lost the read/unread sync. Nokia email is much better in that respect. It lasts a little more than a day and syncs read status flawlessly.
Just hope the feature set will be beefed up real quick if that's meant to compete with the blackberry software, especially that it's not available for my next phone, the e71.
So html, multiple emails, correct send time, and sync with sent email are my top requests.
Could you speed up the application? On my E71 it lags.
Maybe it is better to let it integrate with the existing default design rather then make it look completely different.
So I accidentally canceled my account. Is there any way to reactivate it? I was loving the push gmail and eagerly await the new version! My account shows no option to reactivate and I get nowhere by attempting to sign up again with the same email address. Any clues?
Thanks!
Thanks, Davis!
Hi Guys,
I just want to add my vote re HTML support!!!! I'm using MFE which is great, but 90% of my mail is HTML, which makes my E71 (GREAT phone) totally useless.
Please make this a priority - maybe you can give an indication as to when we may see it?
Im using google-mail java applet becouse of nokiamail lags on symbian 9 phones.
This soft lags on older phones and uncompatible with new ones :(
How is the acquisition of OZ going to affect Nokia's in-house projects such as the email service and Gizmo?
I will have to abandon the e65 I love and return to a device that supports HTML email since about 70% of the mails I receive cannot be read on the e65!!!
This feature is CRITICAL in email...
I would really appreciate it if I could me my SD to stone the emails rather than phone memory. Or am I missing something?
That should read "...to store emails..."
Please have a way to do this. My email goes to several computers, and the Nokia email deletes from server when I delete on my N97. Thanks.
btw...on QWERTY based phones, you can use the "spacebar" to mark messages and then take additional actions like move (m), mark as read/unread (u), etc

Should also have the ability to put HTML-based icons such as emoticons, etc. And should also support ASIAN language. Please Nokia work on these things. I'm an N95 user. :'(
