Push email for Nokia N95

Started by luca filigheddu · 8 months ago

Push email is a great feature introduced by RIM on their Blackberry devices, but there are third party applications that make this feature available on S60 3rd edition devices too.

Seven is a software that lets you easily setup your accounts on your phone in order to enable the “p ... Continue reading »

  • Hi. i've used seven on my N95 too...its great when receiving mails .,..but if i want to forward or reply to a mail ..it keeps giving me a memory full error ?? disappointing.. :(
  • @ray: I haven't had such problem, it works well also for sending and forwarding emails.
  • I installed SEVEN's beta mail push client about a week ago. I thought that it was a very good program, it integrates very nicely into the Nokia mail client and OS as a whole. I did notice thought that it used quite a bit of memory and obviously connecting to mailboxes the whole time did run the battery down a little bit more. What I did like a lot though was the fact that I could set up my Yahoo! mail account through SEVEN's software and everything worked (without paying for a Yahoo! mail premium account). After a couple of days I did notice some weird SMS messages in my sent messages (all starting with "z7") and every so often I would receive similarly cryptic messages from 10958 (something to do with www.alertsf.org, not sure though). I also was getting charged for all these SMS's, not sure how much for each message but defo getting charged. All the SMS's seemed to be the SEVEN program phoning home, because when I removed the program from my phone no more messages like that were sent. Overall I liked the program, I does exactly what it says it will do, did not like the fact that it was sending SMS's without my permission though (I probably wouldn't have minded it if the program warned me and saved me all the detective work). As said above the mailboxes would look a lot better on a bigger screen (E61, etc...).

  • @Joey: I've verified that I'm receiving a few SMSs, I think for configuration purposes, but I haven't any message in my Sent folder.
  • We are pleased to hear that efforts of our brilliant engineers are well received. We continue to improve the mobile email experience it as easy as possible to use as part of the daily life. The beta program will continously be upgraded to our latest beta versions and will remain available free of charge for the users who wish to participate in providing feedback for our development.

    I wanted to follow up on a couple of comments -

    1. Memory full - we've identified and fixed this issue and will be rolling a new version to the beta site shortly

    2. Sent/received SMSes - for some of our commercial deployments with operators around the world, we use SMS triggers to wake up the application so that it does not need to keep TCP/IP connection occupied continuously. In these cases, these SMSes are not charged from the end user. On the beta setup, these SMSes should be disabled. Please follow up on the beta community forums if you are still experiencing these.

    3. Push vs checking mail manually - you can always turn off the new email notification if you don't like the beeps; then you will simply benefit from having your inbox always up-to-date without the need to wait a sync to happen

    The SEVEN beta community forums are available at http://community.seven.com. We encourage any feedback, observations and suggestions there!

  • I have an N95 - The application is ok but has a few rough edges to be ironed out. I love the fact that it integrates with the standard mail box however, the following are issues I have with the product (probably just my personal opinion on how I'd like it to work...)

    1. There is no way (that I have found yet) that I can force a sync - I did a lot of testing, sending myself emails and they were taking far to long to arrive... I checked my mailbox and they were sitting there. It felt to me that it was only checking every 30 mins in which case, I could just use auto-retrieval in the standard Nokia client.
    2. It has crashed the phone a few times but that is understandable being a beta product.
    3. Took me a while to figure out how to access config details - there are two menus, one on the left which is labelled options and the middle toggle button has a completely separate menu - why I don't know... Took a while to figure this out... I got there once by fluke and took a long time to recreate how I did it...
    4. My Work mail server keeps appearing offline and there is no way that I can find to re-check the connection... I used my laptop to verify and prove that the connection wasn't actually offline which was annoying watching and thinking - just try again, it is working...
  • Well Seven was a great service until lately they launched a latest version (compulsory download). The issue is that now mail storage and operation is workable only when it is saved on phone memory unlike the old memory card option which was available and workable.

    As a result, phones are getting very slow and run out of memory very fast. Besides they fall short of memory even to perform basic but vital & necessary functions.

    The folks refused to provide an option for storage on memory card inspite of many requests. They also do not provide the slightly older version which had this functionality. As a result I like many other folks have uninstalled it from my Nokia e61i and am using emoze.

    Thanks,
