Asha 300 - Email Notification

Question

I have an Asha 300 on O2.
It has 2 email accounts set on it, gmail and btinternet, both of which are sending and receiving.
Settings are for new email notifications to be received between 0700-2200hrs.
How do these notifications appear ?
Do i need to set the home page to show anything such as notifications or mail ?
I am not getting any notifications at all.
Thank you
Mat

Answer 1

Spent an hour at the O2 store today.
Give the staff their due, they did everything they could think of.
That said it was only things that i have previously done.
In summary
Emails from my two accounts are being pushed to the email facility on the phone, without delay.
Despite all the settings being put in place for new email notification on the home screen, it isn't happening.
This is clearly an issue with the firmware of the phone.
Worryingly, this is known and NOKIA "seem" to be doing nothing, not even acknowledgeing the fact.
As the user manual clearly states that this is a facility, are NOKIA in breach of contract ?
The sale of goods act clearly points in that direction, but the contract is with the phone provider ie the O2 shop.
I had my NOKIA 6230i for a hassle free 7 years ................ wishing i had not changed, as this was the only facility i really wanted in the new phone.
Can i also say thanks to those who replied to this post, and the private messages i sent.
