Receive email in S60 devices

On a Nokia Series 60 device, you can simply open any properly configured email mailbox from the Messaging application's Main menu. The phone connects to the Internet and checks for new messages on the remote POP/IMAP server. Or, you can select Options Connect to force a connection.

On a Nokia Series 40 device, select the Messages Email Retrieve menu to retrieve messages from the currently active mailbox. The retrieved messages are available under the Messages Email Inbox menu.

For all new messages, the phone retrieves only those message headers that show the sender's email addresses, the message dates, and the message subjects. It does not automatically retrieve the message bodies or attachments. This saves bandwidth and greatly improves the email client's response time. If you want to view an individual message, you can retrieve the message body by opening it. You can also select commands from the Options menu to retrieve all messages or marked messages.
