How to set up Email in S60v3/5/^3 and bypass the N...

Question

There are many threads on this board that all say the same thing and usually are about how Nokia Messaging or email is not working or syncing.
In an effort to have a base-line to assist with these, I have made the following tutorial to help users to bypass the Nokia Messaging (NM) as it is the auto-default to set up email on Nokia devices.
NM allows for “push” email, which will not keep you constantly online and will allow for marking your server email with what you have on your device.  Ie-if it is read on the device, it will be marked as read on the server, deleted, then deleted, etc. 
When you bypass the NM, you will lose the “push” but you can setup most email as an IMAP4 which will do the same thing, and you can select what folders to sync, and how often to have them sync, not keeping you online.
This tutorial was done on a Symbian s60v5 device, and while some of the dialog may be different among devices, the process is relatively the same when bypassing NM.
Open the email client, select options
Select Settings
Select E-mail
Select Mailboxes
Options
New mailbox
E-mal wizard will show up, tap Start
Next screen, Preparing for installation:
If asked, allow to use network.  It will default to network to allow for set-up of NM.
If first time setting up email, this screen will show, “Welcome to E-mail setup”  after you have done it once, it may not show up.  Tap Start.
Enter E-mail address, then tap OK
Splash screen
Enter Password, then tap Ok.
Splash screen
This is the screen where you can choose between the NM and the internal email client.  Aka, Terms of Service (on some devices you have to “agree”) (aka-TOS).  The default  is Yes! Activate my Nokia Messaging account, and if you have already set one up, it will say, “Add to my Nokia Messaging account.
You need to select “No Thanks.  I’ll check for new messages manually.” Or “Create a separate account that uses manual delivery.
Splash screen
Confirmation screen. Select Ok.
Your new mailbox may not show up in the next screen which is supposed to show all the mailboxes set up.  It is a slight glitch in some phones.  Just tap the back button and then mailboxes, then you should see it set-up in the mailboxes as shown.  Highlight your new mailbox and then select options to setup the settings of the email address. 
You will need your inbound and outbound server settings and ports and securities if needed.  You should be able to google for the various email types and if it is a company email, you should be able to get this information from your system admins.
The following are just some screen shots so that you can see the process to follow.  While the NM will sync and mark messages as read the same in the inbox, if you set up your email as an IMAP4, it will do the same and sync all the folders on the server as well.  There is an option to for how frequent you would like your email to auto-sync, just as with the NM.  AND what days you would like it to work!
As there are older, the same, and newer versions of the Symbian and NM, this should help many people as least have the right guidance to bypass it if they wish and get on with consistent email service without using the NM.

Answer 1

I managed to set up an account manually on the C7 but I had to trick the email application by entering an invalid email address and password. After it could not find my account it then opened up all the settings and permitted me to add the manual IMAP settings, reply to address and other details. After I committed the settings, the phone recognised the account as a gmail account and it locked down all the settings again so I could not go back and change them if wrong. 
I was quite chuffed with myself for seemingly resolving all my issues.....but on using the new account settings I could not sync the gmail sent / bin folders. All the other folders synchronised fine and when I send email it has the correct reply to address. Strangely this matches the best results I obtained when connecting using the Mail for Exchange settings so am no further forward. I am a little confused by this as when I let the phone set up the Gmail account on it's own it can sync everything.....but I just can't 
I am now hoping that the new software update (PR1.2) gets email working a little better....well when I eventually get it hehe.
