Sending and receving emails from your N73

You can use settings to receive new email automatically

Once you've got your Nokia N73 set up for email you can use it to send and receive messages

With mobile email at your fingertips it is possible to check on messages that are sent to you during an ordinary working day, and to send emails to people if you need to do this.

The Nokia N73 includes readers for PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint so you can read attachments too. Note, though, that at 2.4 diagonal inches and 240 x 320 pixels the screen is not as easy to use as computer screen.

Create an email
To create an email from the main screen press the left Selection key if the shortcut showing on screen is Messaging. If it is not, press the Nokia Menu key to the left of the 1 and 2 keys and choose Messag.

Use the scroll key to go down to the mailbox you have set up and click to open it. Use the left Selection key to choose Options then choose Create message, then E-mail.

A new screen opens up. In the To field type the email address you are sending to. If the person is in your contact book already then choose Options then Add recipient then select the person from your contact database.

Scroll down and write the subject of your email, then scroll down further and write the content.

Now choose Options and then Send.

Immediate send and sending later
If you have set email up to send immediately the send will happen straight away. If you have set it up to happen at the next manual connection the message will go when you make a connection. In this case you need to choose Options then Connect to send messages and then Options and Disconnect when you are finished.

Retrieving email
To pick up email go into your mailbox as described above then choose Options then Retrieve e-mail then choose All to collect everything in your mailbox. Choose Options and Disconnect when you are finished.

You can use settings to receive new email automatically, but this may increase data traffic to your N73 and could be more expensive than manually retrieving email.

Deletion
When you choose to delete emails you can opt to delete them from the phone only or the server as well. Deleting from the phone only will mean you can pick messages up again from your main computer later on, deleting from the server will mean they are gone forever and you can’t pick them up from your main computer later.
