If you already have a favorite webmail service, but would like your email "pushed" to you then this is what this option was designed for. Nokia messaging can connect up to 10 email accounts at one time, and you can choose which account you send from. Nokia also provide their own webmail service (Ovi Mail) that can be linked to this. Nokia messaging provides for easy setup as it already knows the server settings for a large number of the email services out there. Nokia Messaging only handles email and not Contacts and Calendar or Tasks. | If you already have a favorite webmail service, but would like your email "pushed" to you then this is what this option was designed for.

If you enable Google Labs on your Gmail account you can select which folders (labels) are visible through IMAP. This can significantly reduce your data usage and the time it takes to send and receive (down to a few seconds on 2G if you only want to see new emails and a few others such as "Starred" emails). | If you enable Google Labs on your Gmail account you can select which folders (labels) are visible through IMAP.
