Good luck Linh.
While we're on the subject, ive been having a completely shitty 'hotmail' experience on my n900. ive given up on emails on my phone completely, while really sucks... I remember trying to set up nokia messaging once upon a time, and something would always get hung up...
Are one of you knowledgeable email-types willing to help a noob?

I'm not that knowledgable (I just "set it & forget it" when I set up NM seven months ago, and for me it worked out of the box). I'm also just packing before going on holiday so won't be around much longer today. Is there something specific you need help with? if just general assistance, afraid I ain't your man, there's a cold beer waiting in Italy with my name on it ...

Despite I'm pretty happy with it, push works not instant for me. I recieve e-mails minimum 15 min later.
Probably it's only me.
PS the most I like in push thingy on N900 compared to normal e-mail checking by schedule is that phone actually downloads mails.
1) if you have gmail pulling the mails from your 5 other accounts, it will NOT do so instantly - google (I think) uses some algorithm to decide how often to check your other accounts, only way to change that is to do a manual check in account/settings. So, een if you have gmail push under NM set up correctly, you'll definitely see a lag in receiving emails that were sent to your 5 ohter accounts ...
2) if you have the auto-disconnect app on N900, that may well interfere with the instant delivery of push email?

Sorry if I wasn't clearer, I definitely want replies send from those "real" accounts, gmail is just an intermediary tool and it'd be invisible as much as possible. I think I'll try it before decide on buying, I find it hard to shell out half a thou just to suck it and see. Will report soon. Thanks for your help.
. You could, of course add your old accounts to NM as well as your google one - and then send such replies from those accounts directly (depends on whether you have gmail set to leave mail on the other account after gmail has read it - if so. you'll have the original mail there in your old account on N900 to reply to).

Doesn't Nokia Messaging also use a certain interval (5-15min) to check the inbox it fetches its mail from? I am not sure but I think I read it somewhere. I decided it was not worth the hassle to set up NM if my N900 was able to check the target inbox in the very same interval... If NM was true instant push mail I'd reevaluate that.
