[Solved] How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

So, Ive realized that in order to get Gmail working properly, I need to use it through Nokia Messaging.

However, I also realize that I need to create an actual Nokia Messaging account before I can use it?

So I go to http://email.nokia.com/ and try to set up an account. I select my device (the N900) and type in my phone number and then I get the message that I already have the latest Nokia Messaging software. However, I still dont have a username or password? :S

Where do I create the account?

Kind Regards

From the link you posted click on the 'get started' button at the top of the page.

Enter mobile number, select device then scroll down and click next..... fill in your details and you're in ;)

Ignore the SMS.

Yeah, but it requires me to enter the phone number, and when I do that in addition to selecting my device, I just get to a fairly blank page, which says:

I just checked and when i do it (enter phone number, select device) via 'sign up' or 'get started' then press 'next' it takes me to page 2 which is where I enter my email details. Not sure why it is not doing it for you. I actually just set mine up a few days ago.

Nokia messaging is on your device ( I dont have mine yet) so did you try setting up from there? When you first set up your username and password is actually usually your main email address and the passwordf or that.

Really strange.. Because when I try to set up a new email account on the phone itself and choose Nokia Messaging, it asks me for an email and password, where I can do nothing but type in my gmail address and password, which then sets up a regular (broken) Gmail IMAP account and not a Nokia Messaging account.. which I dont have :S

If I type in a different country code that the Norwegian one (which is 47), the it suddenly works.. but Im not sure I should associate my account with an incorrect phone number.. Maybe this means that Nokia Messaging is not available for Norwegians yet? >.<

Re: How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

Very strange. I did mine on the PC.

Page 52 of the user manual explains how to do it. Select applications menu > email and new acount, define region and servce provider (nokia messaging) then define a username and passsword then select finish. Try that.

I cannot answer as to whether or not it is available to Norweigans yet but I assume it should be.

Might just be some browser or isp glitch (like bad cache)
You should just try again some time later (or, if you're anxious, clear you're browser's cache and give it another shot)

I got it working by using a different country code :S Doesnt seem to use the phone number for anything after the registration, so it worked out fine.. finally push gmail on my phone!

Just one question, did you guys got the email from Nokia saying that this is a trial service? I could not find when will it expire or how much does it cost... odd...

Re: How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

It has been on trial for a long time...since last year I believe

Re: How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

Just an FYI

The way I had to set it up was as follows
go to email.nokia.com and create a new acct. (do this by entering your email acct "yourname@gmail.com" and enter the password for that email acct.)
Once you do that you proceed to your n900 device and click on the email Aplication
click on mail(in the title bar) and select new acct
choose next
and where it says region, choose your region (mine was USA)
under service provider select Nokia Messaging from the drop down box
then choose next
Enter your email address and password, (the one you used @ email.nokia.com to create an acct)
then choose next

I believe after that evrything will sync(there are some settings you can change about syncing preferences)
to add other email accts, go back to email.nokia.com and log in (if your not already) and choose add another under "My Email Address" and follow prompts

The problem is that when you register on email.nokia.com, certain country codes abort the registration, so for us Norwegians for example, you need to use a fake number in order to get the account registered at all..

Re: How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

I have tried to sign up with several random phone numbers and country codes and am still unable to get to any page that let's me choose a new account name for the nokia messaging. I always get to the same screen that says to go to my n900 and select email...new etc. Can someone that has actually gotten this to work post a fake number that they used?

anyone able to help out here? i am still without nokia messaging.

Re: How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

Maybe if you hinted what country you were in, someone might tell you what sort of thing worked for them.

Re: How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

ok, i have finally figured it out. i used the recommended country code of 44 instead 01. i also chose another random phone and voila! i am on nokia messaging now!

Good news!

why doesnt gmail work for you guys?

I just set it up as normal using the built in email client and everything worked fine. Ofcourse I had to specify the IMAP and SMTP server ports as gmail requires. Everything works great, updates every 5 minutes.

Re: How do I create a Nokia Messaging account? Seriously!
 

Gmail using imap or pop3 does work just fine.

The great thing about using nokia messaging is that it PUSHES the emails to your phone. So, if you're using your email for texts with google voice, like I do, you don't have super delayed conversations over text. The emails come through within 20 seconds, rather than waiting 5+ minutes.

Thanks guys! changing the country code and a random number helped me get on Nokia Messaging in Canada! It says that a txt is sent to the random number...will any of the email address or any information be sent there? or is the txt simply just a link to downloading Nokia Messaging?
