This tutorial will show you How to setup the Email mailbox on your Symbian phone and configure it to use your Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail account.
If you want to send or receive email on your Symbian phone, you can either use the web browser built in, or you can use the default email mailbox. You can also use third party software like Profimail if you wish to. However, the second option is the easiest to use and also makes it easier for you to access your SMSes and Email from one place.
To setup your Mailbox, just go to
Messages > Options > Settings > Email.
Click Options and create a New Mailbox. Select the type IMAP4 / POP3 and proceed. Enter your email address and click Next. Next enter your Incoming Mail server and Outgoing Mail server. Select a default access point to use and then give your mailbox a name.
When you are done with the above settings, just select the mailbox you just created and go to Options > Edit > Connection Settings.

These are the settings for Gmail. Remember to first enable POP/IMAP 4 on your account. You can also configure Yahoo and Hotmail is a similar manner if you have POP3/IMAP4 enabled on your account. You can also use the bundled Nokia Settings Wizard for configuring your Email client. But in case, your host isn't supported by the Settings Wizard, you will have to do it manually as detailed above.
