    @tushyd:

    Well I setted mine up with IMAP on my website's mail server and it has the same problem as the POP3.

    Problem:
    Till now it used to check every 5 minutes and blink if a new mail has arrived, now I sended test mails to the account on the phone and even if I press "SEND & RECIEVE" it updates the "Last refreshed" but it isn't downloading the mail (and if I login from webmail it's there, unread).

    I got a test mail sended 2 days ago just now on my screen, I thought I am the only one with this problem.

    I checked into that, but so far haven't got a clue as to how to do this.
    Is Nokia Messaging their equivalent of Push Email?
    I went to several Nokia sites to get info, but nothing seems to work.

    Nokia Messaging works well for me also. I have a few different IMAP and POP3 accounts.
    With a PC or your N900 Goto:
    http://email.nokia.com
    Setup an account if you don't have one.
    Setup the email servers you want to check.
    On your N900:
    Menu > Email > Next > Service Provider > Nokia Messaging.
    At this point it should try to sync. your email. If not click on Email > Send & Receive. One slightly confusing point is if you are only using Nokia Messaging you uncheck Email > Settings > Update automatically.
    I hope I didn't omit too much info
    Take care.

    I have this bug as well, the default 30 min interval results in no sync.
    However, if I change it to 5 mins, it works.... am not sure for how long since I just realized this bug is affecting the N900 and haven't tested the 5min interval for an extended period.
    Will post back if anything changes.

    I don't know if you ever noticed this, but there are people who don't want to change their phone numbers or their email addresses or their post office box numbers because they have been using them for years and many people use them.

    I feel that way about my Yahoo Mail address.

    Not everyone wants to pass their email through Nokia's servers either!

    I guess I went in over my 75-year old head when I bought the N900.

    I went to the link (above) but haven't got a clue how to got to the "insides" of my phone (incidentally, I have no such problems with my desk-top Windows XP)

    Can someone help me out, or point me to some good tutorials which I would be able to understand?

    Thanks!
