You can set up your e-mail account by using the e-mail setup wizard in your device. The wizard allows you to set up the following types of e-mail accounts:

1. POP / IMAP internet mail account for direct access to e-mail server. With this e-mail account you need to manually update your mailbox or retrieve the messages at defined times.
2. Nokia Messaging mail account. This is Nokia consumer service where you can automatically synchronize your mailbox ("push" service) with popular internet based e-mail services (e.g. Yahoo! Mail, Google Mail, Windows Live Hotmail, Ovi Mail) as well as with POP / IMAP servers.
3. Mail for Exchange mail account. With this e-mail type you get access to Microsoft Exchange corporate e-mail

This article describes how to set up the Nokia Messaging e-mail account (case 2 above). The mailbox will be added in Menu > Applications > Email.

Note that the Nokia Messaging service may not be available in all countries and operator networks.
