Posting this on behalf of someone else.
"I got a Nokia 5800 from Orange in order to be able to check email on the go. I know that I was told you can have your email provider (I use Hotmail) synced to the phone in some way - I was shown a phone with the four contacts on the home screen which have a 'live feed' of the most recent emails from that person.
How do I do such things? I've read the instruction manual, and got v. confused:rolleyes:.
All I want to be able to do is check email on the go, easily, without logging on through the phone's browser and going to hotmail.com and checking that way every time; I'm sure this is possible, isn't it? Help!! "
Anyone know the answer please?

Edit: you must have a data/ internet with your contract.You can have God without religion!0 -

i've never used the 5800 but its basically running s60 (same as n95 etc) so it should be same,there on the site i provided should be what you needbtw push notifications is when the email is basically 'pushed' to your homescreen in stead of you having to find it
hope i helped
(replace the (dot) with a . and a backspace after www. )i hope i win the 5800 one day.... :money: i hope i do,ill be the happiest boy in the world if i do :dance:0 -
http://email.nokia.com is the push service - works with Hotmail now that they finally have moved to POP3.
You need a data service though or have access to a WiFi connection (e.g. your home wireless network).
Top tip: you can also download a program from Nokia Downloads (off your phone) called Birdstep Smartconnect which allows you to set up a list of connection methods (so set your home wifi as top priority, then your data connection, etc.)The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster!
