One of the Nokia E72‘s main features is the integration of Nokia Messaging as its default Email Client.
The Nokia Messaging service has improved quite a bit since its launch. Here’s what Email is like, on the Nokia E72.
When you first switch the E72 on, it asks you if you want to setup your Email. If you choose ‘yes’, it’ll use your dataplan to connect to the Nokia Messaging Service.
Of course, if you choose ‘No’ you can always setup your Email later.
Once it connects to the service, you’re asked to enter in your Nokia Messaging Email Address. This is the address you used to sign up for the Service at Email.Nokia.com.
After the client connects and verifies your Nokia Email account, it’ll start to pull in your different Email services (the ones you’ve subscribed to, at Email.Nokia.com) and list them out.
You can click the icon of an email service to see your Emails listed out by date :
And you’re not limited to just the Inbox either. You can switch to another Email Service, or another folder, right from that screen.
You can also configure two of these mail boxes to show on your Homescreen.
This is just one of the many settings you can tinker around with, under your Global Settings in the Nokia Messaging Client.
You can also specify when and what to sync for that particular Email Service.
For example, you might not want to sync your Drafts with your Web Client, or you might not want to receive Email Notifications after 11pm, etc.
You can customise each option according to your liking. I’m happy with 30 minute sync intervals, and I prefer not to get Email notifications after I get to bed around 11pm.
One annoying goof on the Nokia Messaging Client (one that hasnt been fixed still), is that you have to select one particular access point. There’s no support for the ‘Destinations’ feature of S60v3 (FP2) and S60v5, that lets you select access points by priority.
So if you have chosen Nokia Messaging to use only your Wifi Access point, when you head outside of your Wifi range, you wont be able to check your Email untill you manually go back into the settings and switch that to another access point.
Coming to back to the Emails particularly, their implementation is basically the same as in the E75 earlier.
If your email contains an HTML version, you’re given a choice to view that instead.
Otherwise, you have all the standard features you’d expect from a proper Email Client.
Since we’ve discussed Nokia Messaging in detail before, we wont get into that again. But if you wish, you can take a look at our Detailed look at Email on the Nokia E75, since it uses basically the same version of Nokia Messaging.
To add to that, here’s a brief Introduction to Nokia Messaging & Email on the Nokia E72 :

The gmail doesnt support synching with contacts and google calendar!
This worked well for e.g. E71 and N82 but when Nokia merged Mail for exchange with Nokia Messaging it stopped working!
There is only one energy-draining solution: Set up an Exchange account with Google Sync and immediately turn of email syncing (this will sync calendar and contacts)
Then create a gmail account via Nokia Messaging.
Nokia so far refuses to acknowledge the problem.
I am amazed.

I got the same problem. I had both of my yahoo account set up in Nokia Messaging in my E72. But after I installed MFE to sync my corporate email, both of my yahoo account stopped retrieving.
Could you please explain it to me how this happen? Any idea how I can work this out?
Thank you.
Thank you very much :-)
Kind regards,
