Nokia N8: Ultimate User Guide

To get started, click the menu button on your Nokia N8. Then click Applications, followed by Mail. Because you don’t already have any email account set up, you’ll be asked to define one – click on Yes.

You’ll then be taken to the email wizard – click Start to get going. Symbian ^3 supports a host of popular email providers as standard, including Ovi Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, Mail for Exchange and BT Internet. You can also define other email accounts.

Click on the email account that you have. It’s then just a simple case of entering your email address and password. Accept the terms and conditions, and you’re good to go.

The Symbian ^3 email application is a joy to use – it’s simple to navigate, has large buttons and it’s easy to read all of the text. It’s possible to access your email account by clicking on Applications, and Email, or you can also add an email widget to your home page.

    hey,

    I bought my N8 yesterday, and faced the same problem like yours. I could set up hotmail and one of my gmail accounts. The problem belongs to my other gmail account. This could sound weird but one of gmail accounts works and other does not. I have the same message
    “Unable to connect with information provided, try again”
    So
    I have just solved the problem now.
    - first of all you should go to the `mail` page
    - then `new`
    - it prepares for the start :)
    - then add `other`
    -give some stupid mail address (like 123@123.com) in state of your gmail address(like 123@gmail.com)
    - it will open a new page, and ask for your mail address, mail password, user name, incoming and outgoing mail informations, bla bla.
    - use this link to for gmail account details
    ( http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77689 )
    - then go ahead!!!
    - I chose IMAP for my gmail

    It is now working!!! I hope this will help u

    HI, in my N8 I don’t have the 5th screen, so I can’t choose from OVI, Gmail, Hotmail or any, it just ask me for the email adress and pass. So, now I am able to read my mail but cannot create one. The error message saids: “Unable to perform operation”
    Can you help me please? There is no update for my phone

    thnks
