There are a couple of different ways to access your emails from an device such as the .

  1. You can use the built in Application
  2. Use an Application provided by your provider such as for Mobile

As an avid & fan my perference is to use the Mail by Google application to access a native interface however the downfall fo this approach is the need to constantly open the application to check for new mail.

For those of you who want a more automated method you may want to use the built in Application.

    I cannot get to retrieve e-mail on my N95 from my sky.com e-mail account using IMAP or POP3. It keeps asking to save the e-mail mane and password over and over. Very frustrating and just cannot get connected can you help?

    Hi Steve,

    That is an odd one.
    The only thing that I can think of is that you are not using the correct username:

    i.e
    Your username may need to use your entire email address such as your.name@sky.com instead of just your.name

    An alternative could be to try configuring Nokia’s new Push email service.

    This may help you out.
    Let me know how you go.
