Setting up and using email on the Nokia 6600 Fold

It's easy to set up and use your regular email on the Nokia 6600 Fold. You can send, receive and forward email with attachments from your normal POP3 email accounts, whether that's web-based email or an email account from your Internet Service Provider.

You may not want to use it all the time, but mobile email is potentially a great feature if you want to quickly and easily catch up on emails when you're out and about.

The Nokia 6600 Fold has an easy email set-up system onboard that can be used to automatically retrieve settings for POP3 email for most web and ISP email accounts. It's simple to use, and all you need to do is tap in a few simple settings, including your full email address and password.

But if you do have any problems, you can find help and settings details from Nokia's UK support site. From here you can set up your phone via a text message sent automatically from the Nokia website.
