•Secure login (APOP): The options are Yes/No. Use of APOP increases security when connecting to a POP3 mail server. Please check with your e-mail service provider whether this option can be used. The option is available only if the used e-mail protocol is POP3.

•Note that this does not encrypt your mail or protect the mail itself in any way. This option just protects your password from being transmitted as plain text.

•Secure connection (TLS): Select whether to use TLS security when connecting to the mail server. The options are Yes/No. Please check with your e-mail service provider whether this option can be used.

•The mail server needs to support the standard “starttls” or “stls” command (depending on the protocol)

in order to be used with the Nokia 9290 Communi- cator. Some older servers use a dedicated server port for secure connections over SSL. The Nokia 9290 Communicator does not support this non-standard system.

•Note that this only protects the transfer of your e-mail between the Nokia 9290 Communicator and the first server (either the sending server or your remote mailbox). When sending mail, it will be trans- ferred without any security from the first mail server onwards. Also, any mail you receive will have been transferred without any security to the remote mail server.

•When using security, both the sending and receiving servers must support secure connections.

•Enter IMAP4 folder path: (The folder path could be Inbox, for example.) This option is available only if the mailbox type is IMAP4.

After you have filled in all details, press Close to close dialogs, and the new e-mail account will appear in the Messaging application as shown in the picture below. (The name of the remote mailbox is the name that you defined earlier.)

New e-mail account in Messaging application

Now you are ready to use the Retrieve mail command to connect to the newly defined e-mail account and fetch mes- sages. The very first time you connect to the IMAP4 account may take more time, depending on the number of mail messages in the remote Inbox and also the number of remote mail folders, because the device fetches message headers and scans remote folders for subscriptions. Subsequent Retrieve mail commands should work faster, as only changed folder data is downloaded to the device.

Note: Once you have retrieved mail and you go offline, all the headers from your remote mailbox are shown in your Nokia 9290 Communicator’s Mail inbox. BE CAREFUL WHEN DELETING THEM, because if you delete them, they will be

deleted from your Remote inbox, too, the next time you connect to your mailbox. To avoid this situation, please refer to the Messaging chapter in the User Guide.

Tip: When using an Internet Access Point that uses a high- speed data call, and when you have to send large attachments or e-mails, you will get the fastest upload (sending) speed if you select “28800” as the maximum transfer rate in the IAP settings. This involves the use of two GSM timeslots (28800 bits per second) in the uplink direction (from your Nokia 9290 Communicator to the mail server). All other transfer rates use just one GSM timeslot, 9600 or 14400 bits per second, in uplink direction. When downloading (receiving) mail, you will get the best performance by selecting the largest possible value as the maximum transfer rate.

7.7 PCmail and Nokia 9290 Communicator

PCmail is a mail you can read, write, and edit on your Nokia 9290 Communicator, but which cannot be sent without your PC or laptop. PCmails are sent the next time you synchronize your Nokia 9290 Communicator to your PC or laptop.

Internet mails can be converted to PCmails so that mails can be synchronized with your PC or laptop, or PCmails can be converted to Internet mails so that mails can be sent directly from the Nokia 9290 Communicator.

Note: Refer to the Nokia 9290 Communicator User Guide for converting mails.

9290 specifications

The Nokia 9290, launched in the early 2000s, is a remarkable device that marked a significant step in mobile technology. This smartphone is recognized for blending the features of a traditional mobile phone and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), making it an essential tool for professionals on the go.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 9290 is its unique design. It boasts a clamshell form factor that was ahead of its time, allowing users to protect the screen and keypad when not in use. Upon opening the device, users are greeted with a spacious and vibrant color display, which was a rarity for mobile devices of its era. The screen size at 800 x 600 pixels offered clear visibility of texts and images, improving user experience.

The Nokia 9290 supports a range of productivity tools, including a built-in calendar, task manager, and contacts application. It enables users to manage their schedules and keep track of important contacts seamlessly. This functionality is complemented by the ability to send and receive emails, a significant feature for business users of that time. The device utilizes the Symbian operating system, known for its multitasking capabilities, allowing users to switch between applications effortlessly.

Connectivity is another major aspect of the Nokia 9290. It supports GPRS, enabling users to enjoy mobile internet access, which was a groundbreaking feature back in the day. The device also included Bluetooth technology for wireless data transfer with compatible devices, though its wireless capabilities were limited compared to modern standards.

In terms of storage, the Nokia 9290 came with an internal memory of 4MB, expandable via the use of a Multimedia Card (MMC). This expansion capability allowed users to store documents, files, and multimedia, making it a versatile option for its time.

The Nokia 9290's battery life is commendable, providing extended use between charges. With a talk time of up to 6 hours and a standby time of up to 200 hours, users could rely on its stamina during long workdays.

Overall, the Nokia 9290 encapsulated the essence of early mobile computing, marrying phone functionality with the utility of PDA features. Its combination of design, features, and connectivity options made it a standout device that paved the way for future smartphones and remains a nostalgic piece of technology history.
