Messaging accounts

The Messages application can handle many different types of messages, but you must first set up accounts and make settings as described below.

The Messaging accounts dialogue has four tabs, one for each type of messaging account:

Email You can have any number of e-mail accounts. To receive and send e-mail, you must first set up an Internet account (if one is not already set up). See ‘Internet accounts’ on page 155.

SMS You can only have one SMS (Short Message Service) account.The settings on this tab also apply to EMS (Extended Message Service) messages.

MMS You can only have one MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) account. To receive MMS messages you must first set up Internet and WAP accounts (if not already set up). See‘Internet accounts’ on page 155.

Area You can only have one Area info account. The number of Area Information channels that you can subscribe to is limited by the space on your SIM.

Tip A simple way of setting up an e-mail or multimedia message account is to ask your service provider to send you a message that contains the required information to create an account automatically on your P908.
