I have tried my darndest to set up Nokia Messaging on my N900.

I have been able to set up (even two) individual mail accounts, but I understand this is not "Nokia Messaging".
I deleted these accounts, and tried to follow the instructions in the manual (page 53).
I then went to the Nokia Messaging log-in site. It tells me
"Your mobile phone already has the latest Nokia Messaging software installed.
To setup Nokia Messaging directly from your phone, go to Menu > Email > New > Follow on screen instructions.
Don't forget to Accept the Service Terms."

Following those instructions gets me right back to creating an individual mail account.
( I didn't even see where to " Accept the Service Terms.")

QUESTION: How DO I set up the "Nokia Messaging Account"?
Does it even work in Canada?
Please answer with enough detail so that a person who grew up with crank-type home phones can understand.

Tanks a lot!!!

You need to create it as if were an individual account, when you reach the list of providers, you should scroll down the list till you find Nokia Messaging. Then you should set up whichever account you have, inside Nokia Messaging.

When you go to set up a new email account, one of the "Service Providers" should be "Nokia Messaging". If you don't have this, it usually means that Nokia doesn't have an agreement with your wireless provider to run Nokia Messaging. If you don't have the option to select Nokia Messaging as a service provider, you're really out of luck on getting a Nokia Messaging account set up on your N900.

Oh Well, I guess that is what's stopping me from setting this up.
Thanks for your help - at least I can now quit trying . . .
