E72 - Unable to set up e-mail mailbox after firmwa...

Hi all,
I have a newly acquired E72-1 which has been updated to the latest firmware version 051.018.
I'm trying to set up the e-mail function on my E72 but getting nowhere.
I keep getting to the enter e-mail details/password etc page then…nothing. The mail box has not been set up, each and every time.
From the home screen, I hit setup e-mail>start e-mail setup>start
Then it asks ‘connection needed’ connect to: and I click yes and it shows ‘Preparing setup’…
Then it shows a screen with all the e-mail services, from the top: Ovi Mail, Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, Windows Live, BT Internet, Mail for Exchange, Lotus Notes, Other
From here, if you click on the various choices such as Gmail or windows live for Hotmail, you get the enter user name + password boxes…once these are filled in
You get the detecting e-mail settings tab for a few seconds…then it reverts to the screen showing the e-mail services.
I have tried this dozens & dozens of times without success…no mail boxes have been set up. It just cycles through the setup process each time.
I have even done a Hard reset on the E72 and tried to set up e-mail after…with no luck.
Any suggestions?? I have to say I’m getting very cheesed off as e-mail was the main reason to get the E72!!
Has the Nokia Messaging service been switched off??

I came to this discussion because google indicated it when I searched 'nokia E72 unable to create mailbox'.
'Unable to create mailbox' used to be a huge headache for me to use E72 for over one year and half. I tried to soft and hard reset the device, brought it to Nokia Care Point to spend 15 pounds to re-install the whole system, or call the customer service line again and again for a continuous one year, but the problem still existed. To be honest, I was not satisfied with Nokia customer services at all. The staff at the Nokia Care Point only cared about charging money. After the first re-instalation when the problem still existed, they said I had to pay more to process other checks. In terms of technicians from the customer service line, they were helpless. I called them again and again. Each time when I called, there was a different technicain, and I had to repeat the situation again and again. They only knew to suggest me do the basic reset, including to try *#7370# or to reset factory factory settings, which I had tried over hundreds times. They even used remote control application to install some remote app on my E72 and did some checks from their ends, but still it didn't help. When the technician realised he/she didn't have another method, they promised to call me back later, but they never did. I was so disappointed with their service. It took around an hour or longer each time I called. When the problem couldn't be fixed, I had to call again and repeat the problem from the beginning again to a new line advisor. It was so time and money consuming!!!! And what was the most annoying was that they were not helpful! After such torturing experience, the problem still existed! It was a frustrating and exhausting experience from 05.2011 to this year 06.2012... I gave up Nokia in the end, though it used to be my favourate phone.
Sorry to make such a long complaint. I just want to provide a feedback to Nokia, so as to let them know that their poor service and products are losing former loyalty clients. 
===============================================
Right, back to the problem, 'unable to create mailbox'. Finally, I figured out what the problem was. It was a conflict between the device E72 and network provider, O2, for my case.
I am in the uk and use monthly contract of O2 sim card. The O2 network provides three kinds of data package: O2 Active, O2 Mobile network, and O2 Pay&Go. When I create mailbox or use Maps GPS, it access to the internet via O2 Par&Go by default, no matter how I set the priority of the connection destination. But when I changed the access point to O2 Active or O2 Mobile Network, the mailbox was able to be created and Maps app was able to recevie GPS data.
So here is my solution.
1) Hardset the device. Remember to backup all the data beforehand.
The method is to press Shift+Space+Backspace together with the power button when the device is powered off. Press until the device is restarted and the main screen, normally it should be Nokia's two hands joined together image, is seen.
2) Go to menu --> Ctrl. panel --> Settings --> Connection --> Destinations
There, you will find all the access points.
3) Go to Internet
Hopefully you will have the same options as I do, O2 Active, O2 Mobile Web, and O2 Pay&Go
Scroll to O2 Pay&go, click options, choose 'delete' to delete the O2 Pay&go option. (Don't worry to delete it, as the internet can be access to via the other two options without any problem.)
4) Go back to Destinations, do the same to Multimedia msg, WAP services, and Intranet.
Delete any O2 Pay&go options for these category.
===========================================================
Then, your phone should be ready to set up mailbox and to use gps without any problem. That was what happened to my Nokia E72.
Good luck!
Now, I feel my E72 is so powerful after the push mail and GPS function is recovered. But still, I am not satisfied with Nokia's service and will definitely not try any other of its products. Nokia has lost my loyalty and I believe I am not the only one.

  • E72 unable to connect to WIFI or GPRS after firmwa...

    I hope someone here can help with my problem. My E72 cannot connect to WIFI or GPRS after I got a firmware update. Whenever I try to connect, I get error messages like "Connection not available" or "Web: Unable to perform operation". My software version is 054.005 for RM-530. I have tried reinstalling the firmware update thru Ovi suite, but it did not help. Also tried *#7370# and the phone still won't connect.
    Solved!

    Try with Hard Reset (shift+space+backspace+on/off). Make a full backup before!

  • Unable to set up voice mail

    When I dial the number provided to me to set up my voice mail, I get a message that I am entering an incorrect phone number.  When I dial my new number directly to attempt to access voice mail that way, I get a rapid busy signal.  I have attempted to call Tech Support but with on-hold waits of 45 minutes one time and over an hour the next, I simply give up (I don't have that much time to carry the phone around waiting to reach a live representative).  Any ideas?  Are these type of waits the norm for Fios Tech Support?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Huh, so I'm not the only one.  Switched to FIOS (all 3 services) on 4/22 and it took until last night to get someone to turn on voicemail for the account.  Today I went through the steps using the 888 number to set up my greeating and such.... but,.... there was no option to set up how many rings would trigger voicemail.
    Called my home number to test and it just rings with no voicemail pickup.  I do not look forward to calling the support number again and wading through all of the voice prompts and then waiting and waiting to get a real person.
    Oh, and I followed the link on fhe voice page to download the PDF instructions.  After logging on at the 888 number I'm suppsed to press "9"..... but that is an invalid choice.
    I have to give Verizon credit, they've accomplished something that I thought was impossible -- they've made Comcast tech support look good.
    Well done, Verzion... well done.

  • Unable to set default compose mail font in Apple Mail

    So, I've gone through all the preferences and set them to the correct font (Folio STD-Light). When I compose a new message it uses Folio STD-Medium. "Medium" is not set in any of my font preferences in the Mail > Preferences pane. Where is it pulling this font from? Is it in a hidden plist file somewhere?
    The only way I can get the correct font, is to set it each time in the "fonts" button each time I write an email. That gets old quickly.
    Any help?

    If you are trying to determine the fonts seen by your recipients, there is no way to do that using Mail > Preferences. It must be done for each outgoing individually in the New Message pane. Or you can use custom stationery.
    Of course it only makes sense to select a special font for your emails when you know for sure that the recipient also has it on their machine.
    If the ability to set a default font to be seen by recipients is really important, I recommend switching to Entourage or Thunderbird.

  • Importing Mail Mailboxes after a clean installation of Lion

    I have had to re-install Lion (10.7.3, a clean installation). I have now been able to download messages still on my Internet provider's server, but how can I transfer them from my bootable cloned copy of my entire system, made just before re-installing the OS?
    Mail offers to export messages (Mailbox >Export Mailbox). Could I boot on my cloned backup, export each mailbox, then in some way import them into the new Lion system?
    But my Mail's File > Import Mailboxes is greyed out, and Apple's Help ("Import mailboxes" doesn't work).
    Or could I drag the old mailboxes from the backup, but where are they?
    I have a Time Machine backup which will have the messages, but again, where? I mounted TM, tried Mail > Import Mailboxes and selected the Mail application. TM whirred for ages and I eventually had to force quit mail after the SBOD appeared.
    Hoping for some ideas.

    If you are installing from the DMG, I think so.   However, once installed to a hard drive or flash drive as a bare bones bootable 10.7 system the only time an internet connection would be needed is if you have Software Update setup in System Preferences, or Quicktime setup in System Preferences for updating your software.
    You can setup a clone software on that bootable drive such as Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner that can get you off the ground and running to verify that you aren't having any hardware issues with your system, instead of trying to eliminate software issues on a fully loaded 10.7 system.
    Of course you'd want two clone backups of your fully loaded system before you tried that.  A Time Machine backup of your fully loaded system can work too, as long as it is to a hard drive that is at least twice as large as the original.
    The only reason to keep the DMG version of it around is if you lack the space or funds for space to have a fully installed backup.  But then you are depending on the internet anyway!

  • Unable to set back to Entertainment mode after playing BF 2

    Anything else works fine, however after I exit battlefield 242, the card is locked in game mode and will not change, until rebooted.
    Is there any known workaround?
    Card is X-Fi Fatality Titanium Pro PCI E.

    Hi,
    This tends to be a problem which is caused by applications or games not releasing the OpenAL context device when shutdown.
    This can mainly only be resolved by an update from the developer, and not by Creative or the OpenAL developer(s).

  • Unable to set mailbox forwarder within ECP using Internet Explorer

    We seem to have an issue that has developed where using Internet Explorer we are now unable to set a mailbox forwarder within the ECP.
    When we use Internet Explorer 11 the following is used to discover the issue:
    1. Under mailboxes select any recipient, click "mailbox features" > and under Mail Flow click "View details"
    2. Click "Enable forwarding" > "Browse" and then select and recipient you want to forward ail too.
    3. Once you click on "Ok" it will be observed that the field in IE is blank account to forward to is not there.
    We have tried rebooting the CAS already in case something was cached but this did not help resolve the issue.
    We have noticed that if you open the ECP and repeat the steps in Firefox or Chrome the issue is not there. This is happening on all our machines in the domain and says to me it is an IE issue rather than Exchange maybe.. Does anyone know what might be causing
    it?
    Our environment is Windows Server 2012 R2, Exchange 2013 CU6

  • Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Install) unable to set Default Mail Client

    After installing Office 2013 via Office 365 for Business, the installation is unable to set Outlook as the default mail client.  Message appears after each system reboot:
    "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
    When going into Control Panel and manually set the Outlook client as the default, the setting does not take.  After a reboot, the warning message reappears.
    Anyone else having the same issue?

    No but then again it is a Beta. Did you clean install or update?  9926 seems to be relatively stable.

  • Unable to set the default sending account in Mail?

    I have three IMAP accounts set up in Mail and when I want to send an outgoing email can easily use the drop down to pick which account is used. The issue is I'd like to specify which of the three is used by default.  I've searched on how to do this and the supposed answers are not working for me.
    First, in Mail preferences, it's been posted you can drag the order of the accounts. That does not work for me at all, they are not draggable.
    Second, in System Preferences there's been some talk of setting defaults in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars panel. When I try to access one of the accounts there it asks me for the password, I enter the correct one, and it fails saying unable to verify the password.
    Can this be done at all? Is there a bug in System Preferences?
    Thanks in advance!

  • New iMac to which I have imported outlook mail files which have set up as individual mailboxes. There are now so many mailboxes that mail will not open so I can't do anything with them. What can I do.

    I have a brand new iMac and I have incorectly imported 20k plus outlook mail messages. They have all set up as individual mailboxes so mail locks when I try to open it. So I am stuck because I can't get into mail to do anything with these messages. Please help if you can. Regards Tebbs

    Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
    I also can save drafts now on both computers.
    Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
    Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
    Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
    Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
    IMAP for both accounts.
    Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
    The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
    'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
    On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
    On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
    Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
    The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
    The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
    On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
    Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
    Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
    Thank you so much,

  • How do I get MAIL mailbox passwords to stay set?

    I've recently upgraded to OS 10.4.9 and my MAIL mailbox passwords will not stay set. I am asked for the password for each mailbox every time. I've tried all the suggestions/instructions in Mail help but my save password check is always ignored. Any suggestions s to how i can get MAIL to behave as it's supposed to?

    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entries from the keychain and letting Mail create them again the next time it asks for them.
    If the problem persists, try this:
    1. In Keychain Access > Preferences > General, click Reset My Keychain and proceed as requested. A new (empty) login keychain should be created and the old one renamed and removed from the keychain list, but not deleted.
    2. You can add the old (renamed) keychain (stored in ~/Library/Keychains/) back to the keychain list by clicking the [+] button in Edit > Keychain List.
    3. You can move/copy password entries from the old keychain to the new one if wish.
