Configure Gmail on the Nokia E61 using the E-Mail Key

An easier way to configure Gmail compared to this
is to use the 'E-Mail Key' wizard to define not only Gmails mailbox but for
Aol, Rediffmail etc..

Its simple Menu-Tools-E-Mail Key

In-device Search 3rd Edition :A must have

Its from Nokia itself (preinstalled in E50), can be downloaded from here.

SMS Accelerator: The SMS vaccine

If you just got a brand new Symbian OS 9.x(Series 60) phone you got to install the 'SMS Accelerator'.
Google for this your_phone_model support e.g. nokia E61 support.
Open the first link (something like europe.nokia.com/A4149179) -> Phone Software.
Download and install SMS Accelerator.

"This application accelerates the sending of SMS messages. It is recommended that you install this application to prevent slowness in SMS sending, which may occur over time if you send lots of SMS messages."

IP Passthrough on Nokia E61/WinXP

First download and install 'Nokia Network Bridge' from here

Now when you select 'Ip Passthrough' (when the usb cable is plugged in), the drivers will be automatically installed.

On the E61, create an access point with 'Data bearer' = 'IP Passthrough'.
i.e. Connection Name : My Ip passthrough
Data bearer : Ip Passthrough
Homepage : None

The 'Network Bridge' icon appears in the Control Panel, open it and enable the E61 checkbox.

Try to surf/connect and select 'My ip passthrough' as the access point.

Thats it.

Gmail on Nokia E61

This works for me

• Incoming email:
  • incoming mail serv: pop.googlemail.com
  • mailbox type: POP3
  • Security(ports): SSL/TLS
  • Port: 995
  • APOP secure login: off
• Outgoing email:
  • Outgoing mail serv: smtp.googlemail.com
  • Security (ports): StartTLS
  • Port: 25

found it on http://www.thisismobility.com/blog/?p=163

if pop.gmail.com/smtp.gmail.com is used, a certificate dialog always pops up.
