How to use Nokia E71 to receive pushing Email

Today my teacher Nuala had asked me about how to use push mail by E71 because her friend also had got one but he did not know how to set it. I had tried with my E71, and I found it is easy if you are not sensible of cost.

To receive Email in E71 you should do as follow:

• Set up your e-mail. Always it is in the destop, reads like "set up email". Push it and choose "start e-mail setup".
  
• Then type your e-mail address in the follow textbox. Please make sure that your e-mail supports POP3 protocol. For example, I type "lai****@gmail.com"
• then type your password,and wait.
  
• In your messaging menu, you can find the e-mail address you have just setted.
• Select menu --> connect, you will download all the titles from your e-mail.
• Then is the IMPORTANT part: as you want to enjoy a "push mail" which means you want to get your email as soon as your server had receive it, you should set your phone to receive mail automatically.
• Push the left button, "E-mail settings -->Connection settings --> Incoming e-mail --> Access point in use --> User defined". And you will see a list of the access points. If you are using Chinamoblie service, probably you should choose "CMNET". If you cannot find CMNET, I suggest you search the web or phone the 10086 to ask help.
• Then go to "e-mail settings --> Automatic retrieval --> E-mail notifications". You should choose "Auto-update".

OK, now you have done the settings. do not close the connection, just push the home button and minimize the e-mail window, and you can receive e-mail with no delay. I have tested my gmail accont, I have received the mail only seconds after I sent it.

Tips:

• Whether this service is avalible depens on your e-mail service provider. You can receive e-mail form gmail in seconds, but it will costs much time if you were using QQ mail. As far as I know, gmail/hotmail/yahoo mail...all worked well.
• The technology which E71 have is not exactly "push email". I think "push email" use a specific data access point, the service may charge money, but the data flow rate does not. But use CMNET you should pay for the data. I tested the flow rate, in one hour it costs about 30k. Ask Chinamobile to have a wap package, it will cost less than 30 RMB a month.

I hope this will help. E71 is really a good phone.
