Despite all the bumps along the road that Nokia Messaging has encountered since it was first introduced, it’s really come a long way. Nokia’s new email solution has recently been updated to included Hotmail support along with HTML email views. A handful of other features have also been updated/added…
Here are the highlights of this release:
• The 1.1 release of Nokia Messaging is localized in 22 languages and certified for 21 S60 devices
• Support for Windows Live Hotmail Addresses
• Support for HTML-formatted emails
• Support for hosted email accounts from Yahoo!, Gmail and Microsoft
• Support for up to 10 IMAP subfolders (selectable on email.nokia.com)
• Advanced Email Settings entry on email.nokia.com
Davis Fields, the product manager for Nokia Messaging says,
Advanced email settings entry also satisfies a popular request. When signing up for a Nokia Messaging account, you are now able to include the outgoing mail server as part of advanced settings. Users with a Nokia Messaging account are now able to edit their email server settings from the My Account page. You can also select up to 10 IMAP subfolders to sync to their devices.
The 1.1 release contains support for HTML-formatted emails. You will find that Nokia Messaging handles rich formatted text and lighter HTML-formatted emails very well. Within some larger messages, you may notice some irregular scrolling and selecting behavior.
Some people have had a few issues even with this newest version. For instance sometimes the set up process will send two text messages instead of one. If this happens, usually it’s the second message that works properly.
