First, acquiring Intellisync in 2005. Then, ended Blackberry collaborations for Nokia E series handset. And now, finally Nokia unleashed their prototype for Email client. The Nokia Email (beta) currently available for the latest S60 3rd edition. For now it is only can be setup for one account, yet probably in the future we can use it to login to multiple accounts.
Nokia Email is currently a free mobile e-mail solution that works with any e-mail account you throw at it (as long as it?s not Hotmail and corporate e-mail – support for those will come at a later date). However, when it comes out of beta testing phase, it will become a subscription-based service, for which you have to pay certain fees depending on which package you choose and what network you?re using it on. Unfortunately, Nokia e-mail only supports the following handsets at this time?s writing: Nokia E51, E61, E61i, E65, E66, E71, N73, N80, N81, N81 8GB, and N95
It is planned for push type service, although some testers said there is delay in receiving email. It should be real time delivering when truly becoming push email service.

It’s a good recipe
Write an e-mail application that is half-brained, then create a service that gives people what they originally should have gotten. I hope, I’m not greedy.
I cannot even set how many lines the E71 should display when reading mail (it’s 5 lines, geez), no order of IMAP folders, and no option to download whole messages automatically.
Anyway, is there any difference in ‘push mail’ and client initiated mail-server check (say, in every minute)? Maybe in battery power. So I don’t really understand that fuss over ‘push mail’

Nokia email (aka Messaging) is great for 3G usage, but is quite annoying in a wifi environment, because it’s always trying to get online to check messages. And once it does get online, it doesn’t disconnect, and I do not trust AT&T not to charge me for that continuous connection. What would be ideal is a one-button wifi email client that connects, downloads messages, and disconnects in one super-efficient swoop.
