Mail on Ovi had recently gone live only on S40 devices, but we’re pleased to learn that the webmail version of Mail on Ovi, is now live in beta. Mail on Ovi is pretty basic at the moment but gives you a youroviname@ovi.com e-mail account, with a space quota of 1GB.
Key features of the webmail component of Mail of Ovi :
- Web application for managing your @ovi.com email. Nokia’s aim is to create a simple and elegant web mail experience. It uses AJAX and Javascript web technologies to cut down on page loads and improved usability. For example you can organise your email into folders via simple drag and drop mechanism, and, when composing email, contacts are auto-completed based on the contents of your address book.
- Address book for storing contacts. Currently there is no connection between Mail on Ovi and Sync on Ovi (i.e. between your live contacts and the address book of Mail on Ovi). However this is a limitation of the current beta and the two will be connected together in a later beta or for the final release.
- Built in spam (optional) and anti-virus filters and settings for auto-reply (e.g. for when you go on holiday) and email signatures.
- There’s a low bandwidth version of the Mail on Ovi webmail system for use when a broadband connection is not available.
Check out the following video by AAS walking you through it :
You can now also use Mail on Ovi on S60 devices now by adding the email address to either the built in Messaging application or the Nokia Messaging service. You can check out more about this on the post on AAS.
