OVI Mail - Abandoned too?

What's happening around with OVI Mail? Don't think I'm the only one to find the service being left behind. No updates or anything. Or maybe noone uses OVI mail anymore
Nokia ported everything of OVI Mail for Yahoo to manage. Thought it was done because yahoo have had a good experiencing in managing the mail services and it will be just another domain for them with the same superb yahoo service.
But, what's happening here? Yahoo improved its Yahoo Mail multiple times during this period. They introduced tabs in emails earlier and now this new lovable interface. But where's OVI? Still struck on same old Yahoo Mail interface which expired ages ago. Why? Is it that Nokia no longer wants to provide customers with email and other online services. Look at it. There's no logo of Nokia, even those **bleep** advertisements in sidebar look better than the header with poor OVI branding, which isn't even visible.
I'm just hating my OVI Mail services now. Shouldn't yahoo be asked to keep the features coming in there too? Can we expect an Improvement?
What's happening with Nokia? The once top smartphone manufacturer doesn't finds a spot in Top 10 too? Its like abandoning everything and just join the Microsoft Ship. Nokia is itself going against its own sayings. They need to listen to customers and shouldn't behave like "Hey! We can only provide you with this phone. Go away if you are looking for something else" Microsoft isn't Nokia's cousin's company. Right? Why is Nokia having so much care (and confidence) for Microsoft than its own customers? Is it the right time to say that Microsoft is running Nokia? Surely my post will be censored. But this is something worth discussing Sorry for some hate lines. But believe me, my love for Nokia isn't any less

Ovi Mail, I can log in, but keep getting asked to ...

I'm at the end of my tether here, Nokia keep refering me to Yahoo and Yahoo keep refering me to Nokia, what a shambles.
As you can plainly see, because I can write this post I'm logged in. Now when I try and access my inbox all I get is a Yahoo! sign in box asking me to verify my password after briefly, for a split second seeing my inbox. I verify the correct password, and once again I see my inbox breifly before I get taken back to the Yahoo! verify password box. This box shows my *******@ovi.com email addy (starred out characters is my username - obviously) and just asks for my password.
Fortunately I can still access my email through Yahoo's mobile site on my phone and the PC, which seems a little bizarre.
I don't want to delete my .ovi account and start again, I've had it for donkeys years, it is known by all who know me and I'm rather attached to it. However my faith in Nokia and Yahoo! are being severly tested by this issue that has taken up far too much of my spare time in the past few weeks. Please help,I'm currently waiting for Nokia's latest annoydyne response, after finally being able to get in here with the help of a Yahoo! person on their chat facility.
I enclose a screen shot of the very annoying 'log in box" box that reappears time after time, I know it has my email addy clearly in view TBH I don't care I just want this sorting so I have provided all the information I can.
Solved!

I've done that svi78, and to be fair I had a lengthy chat with a Nokia person when they called me back.
I provided my email address and password (I was at the end of my tether, and there's nothing sensitive about my .ovi.com addy so I gave access to my account). They tried it and said everyrthing is working OK he even asked for my permission to read an (oviously) spam email aloud to me to prove it was working, and now because it worked for them they feel they cannot help any more and the case is closed.
I can still only access my Ovi mail through uk.m.yahoo.com/
Yahoo's! mobile site. I can do this via PC, any PC but out of the six PC's I've tried all with different isps I still get stuck in a feed back loop on any desktop Nokia or yahoo! site when I try to access my mail, and this is also true of my phone's web browser. It's a complete mystery. As I say I get a Yahoo! "Please verify your password" box, I verify, see my Nokia/ovi mail in box for around half a second before being taken back to the Yahoo "Please verify your password" page and box.
I and they (Nokia) donot understand why I am having this issue and seeing they can't repeat it (I wish I couldn't ! LOL) case closed.

OVI Mail - how is it financed?

Login to your "Free" OVI Mail account, click the OVI Service Terms link at the bottom left, and note:
"Your use of the Service may be or may become subject to charges.
Any fees charged by Nokia will be announced separately in connection with the Service."
Who in their right mind, would migrate all of their email to an OVI mail account, inform hundreds of contacts, and print stationary... if there's a risk Nokia would introduce an unreasonable monthly charge in the future? Transitioning to a new email address is not easy.
So I wonder: How does Nokia intend to finance the OVI mail service?
They say it's "free", but it has to be paid for by somebody. With over a million accounts registered, OVI email already represents a major server infrastructure which has to be maintained by a specialised team, not to mention the global bandwidth costs. Even Google can't afford to run Gmail as a charity, so why should OVI mail be any different?

Hei, a small comment to your discussion:
I have been using Nokia messaging since it was launched (aug 08 ?). Was happy with it until week or two weeks ago I got a message that the ar going to charge of it.
Actually not they, but the local provider. Charge would be 5e / month, which I found too expensive.
So i installed Profimail, which coasted some 15 GP (ca. 18 e).
Now my problem is the using the Ovi mail account: I dont know the server settings to be used with PM. I wonder if Nokia is willing to give them to be used with other clients. One solution is to stop using the Ovi account.
Of course Nokia has a right to start charging. Especially because it was announced in the very begining and in general terms. But I would find it also fair to give the setting for other clients.
Has somebody got the setting for Ovi, or should I start asking them from Nokia Messaging Team.
All the other accounts are working ok with the PM (Yahoo & GMail).

Why has my ovi mail stopped working?

Since friday my ovi mail has stopped working and i've lost lots of emails from my phone (also lost lots of txts too)
When i select retrieve or connect it just comes up messaging not supported ? What the hell is going on?

Great news....
and I am posting this all around.
This morning Sep12 I woke up and I was checking my email on the iPad and I noticed over 50msg... there were just a few last night... Then I saw... OVI 50msg! What?
I got to it and there it was... OVI mail working.
I re-edited my ipad config because it was setup for POP and I tried to change it to IMAP... I messed up, but realized... I could not simply edit on the iPad, so I deleted the email account and re-created using IMAP. It worked!!!
I have the OVI mail now configured on both my iPad and on my new Samsung S4 mini.
Here is what I am using:
income
imap.mail.ovi.com
SSL
993
outcome
smtp.mail.ovi.com
SSL
465
Please share. It looks like it´s back!!!
POP is also working...

Unable to conect the ovi-mail-server

Hi!
I just got me a new nokia e55 and was trying to set up an ovi-mail-acount. It looks like it works find, eccept I couldent send e-mails from the phone. And after some days I couldent receve e-mails. And suddenly, those few e-mails I'v got dissepeard from the innbox. "The phone was set up to store them one month). And now it looks like the phone have been blocked from the ovimail serever.
I tryed to register a new acount and a new ovimailadress, but when I try to configure the phone it just says: unable to conect the server or something like that.
I can accsess my ovimailacount on web, and use by my computer. It works perfect. I can eaven log on the ovi webmail with my phonebrowser. But it if I do so, i can onely read e-mails. Nothing else.
What have I done wrong? Do anyone have any ideas?

Surprise! Without doing anything, about an hour later after I had the problem, it all started working again...receiving and sending emails.
Interimly, I ued the iCloud webmail.
And in response to your question...I had highlighted a User Account in the left hand column but it still would not let me enter anything in the incoming server space.
Mysteriously... who knows why, it all is working again.
Thank you for your reply. Terry

C3-00 chat : "no service available" + OVI mail won...

Hello all,
Bought a C3-00 goldenwhite 3 weeks ago, though never succeeded to connect to all the OVI applications (OVI chat, OVI mail + communities), which are the two main features that are the reason why i bought this phone
- chosen connection mode : WIFI only (because prepaid card)
- device system version 7.20 (upgraded last week, thought it would resolve the OVI chat/mail issue) : update causes me all audio files downladed from ovi store to be "corrupted file / license expired" whereas it was free content, deleting files and downloading again doensn't bring improvement to the issue
- restored factory settings but no improvement on OVI chat/mail application issues
- called my operator: unlocked access to OVI mail "settings" part but wonce account is created, the "connection" wheels runs for a while but nothing happens / still have the "no services available" problem in ovi chat while communities keeps on "updating profile" but nothing happens as well soI don't have proper access to my profile (because "updating profile still runs)
precision : i have no problem to connect to OVI store or any other website through the navigator, issue of "no service available" (chat) and neverending connection (ovi mail) that prevent access to mail is only with those 2 application + communities
eBuddy works fine
are there any settings to update?
thank you a lot for your help

@Nnova031: hello Well yes, youtube can work if You will make UDP configuration with some ports redirected on router, but this is no slution for me, because i have many wireless connections (few computers, wifi printer, other mobile phones/pda devices, and server with is got all ports redirected on it, rest of devices are using NAT).
The key to make everything work as it should is Nokia. They must fix using TCP/IP over WiFI (with NAT) by their apps. Without them they are just not useful, because all people bought this phones thinking they will use wifi and those really nice apps. Those apps are working well on GPRS/EGPRS for many reasons (like using some proxies by operators in configuration, by using external IP by device so all ports can be opened and waiting for data, while it is sooo insecure like hell, etc.).
I think it should be priority one for all Nokia developers to fix that, because they are selling product, that do not have options. that are reason 90% of all their customers did buy it. It is like buying car, that cannot drive without towing car.
Don't say you want to help - just do it! Happy user of Nokias: 6150 SAT (still work), 6021 (used as backup, still work), 5220 XpressMusic (Drown, screaming for Contact Service), C3-00 (my current phone).

Report mail is too huge

I have been getting a new form of spam. When I click on the Cisco Email Security plug-in to report the email. I am getting this message "
Report mail is too huge."

Hello Lloyd,
check message tracking if those messages are actually scanned by IPAS, especial if you run a version lower than 7.5. 279kb is above the default threshold, so maybe your antispam scanner is not scanning them. I know this does not address the problem with the plugin, but just wanted to let you know.

Ovi mail web browser access isn't working

Hi all,
Wonder if anyone else has this problem. My Ovi mail which has been working beautifully all this time has suddenly decided not to show me any mails.
I can see the mail headers displayed in the upper portion, but when I click on it, it doesn't display the mail content.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
All else fails? Restore it.

I still can't get into Ovi mail directly from www.ovi.com, and it's been like this for 2 months now. However. I've found a solution!!
After 2 months of waiting for Nokia to solve this problem, I noticed a button on
my new Gmail account to import email from another POP email account. I
tried this with the following settings typed into the Gmail importer:
POP server: ovi.pop.mail.yahoo.com SSL port 995
In less than 2 minutes, it imported all my emails from the ovi.com account.
So a Google automated process managed to access a Nokia email account in 2
minutes, that Nokia support centre could not access for 2 months.
Conclusion: Google technology is vastly superior to Nokia's.

Ovi mail web access interaction with Yahoo groups

Ovi mail is powered by Yahoo mail, and I have one Yahoo account solely for use with ovi mail. I have another Yahoo account for accessing (a lot of) Yahoo groups. I can't have a web interface up for both on the same computer at the same time because they interact and want to use the same account. If I start Yahoo groups first, then start Ovi mail and log in, the Yahoo Groups window changes to the Ovi mail Yahoo account. Nokia, ask Yahoo to fix this, please! Cheers and TIA!

Hi Alex,
Please check the AdminCount value in Attribute Editor tab for this ArchiveMail account. Confirm if it is set to 1 which indicates that this user is a protested account which is protected by AdminSDHolder.
If that it the case, please clear the value for this attribute and check whether the issue persist.
