Get Push Email in Nokia E71!
I’m pretty sure all the power users out there have already used theese apps/services for getting push email in their own nokia E71, but maybe some one out there may find this post useful.
We all know that our precious Nokia E71 has the ability to retrieve emails as this device is somewhat a Blackbery contender, but bare the fact when actually the email that we setup from the email wizard (I’m not talking about the Mail for Exchange App) is truly a PULL EMail rather than a PUSH EMail like what RIM Blackberry does. Although the Nokia E71 device allows automatic retrieval every 5 minutes it’s still called pull email because your device actually ‘pulls’ information of any new emails that you get in your mailbox and then retrieves the new mail contents to your handset.
As I surfed around many blogs out in the net, I found two applications that offers PUSH EMail and I’m referring to the PUSH service as one expects in getting from RIM blackberry services.
The applications are SEVEN and Intellisync from email.nokia.com:
SEVEN is a service that lets you enjoy push email directly to your mobile device. These are the email providers that can be pushed through SEVEN:
SEVEN is easy to setup, all you have to do is create a free account in the seven website, then download the sis file to your handset, the E71 isn’t listed yet but there is an option for the general symbian s 60 3 rd edition devices. After installing the app in your device, you can easily set up any email account you have and even add more email accounts to use:
Please note that I use the free YahooMail account and it works as expected, I have not tried the YahooMail Plus!, I’ll leave it to you guys who has a YahooMail Plus! account.
The great thing about this application is that it uses the standard messaging app from your E71:
It also tries to reconnect automatically whenever you loose connection coz of maybe poor signal reception, it displays the status of when the last time the connection was successfully established:
Next is the Nokia Intellisync from email.nokia.com. It’s a beta service that lets you enjoy PUSH Email in your device. Like SEVEN, there is an application that you must download and install to your device after you register an email of your choice (only one email is allowed). The difference is, the nokia Intellisync uses its own application to access the email in inbox:
Actually, the inbox interface is great, not like the standard messaging app, the Intellisync application lets you collapse or expand messages in the inbox based on date received:
The downside is that Intellisync does not support the free YahooMail account. And another issue that bugs me is that when you setup the Intellisync as active in the enabled application for the home screen:
It still shows read messages from the inbox, I’d be satisfied if it would disappear from the home screen view just like the standard messaging app would’ve handled it:
As a conclusion, I would recommend the Push Email service from SEVEN, but feel free to try out both coz after all the guys in nokia beta labs did try their best to deliver, the least we can do is try it out and send some feedback for future development.
Cheers!

Getting Real..

Don’t forget that there is also Emoze (http://emoze.com). I find this gives the best battery life out of all the ‘push’ solutions.
There is also emoze http://www.emoze.com which is quite similar application to seven and I think it works much smoother on E71 than seven app.
Additionally emoze allow you to push data from your pc (outlook, lotus notes) to your mobile. You install emoze app on your pc, you install emoze app on your mobile and emoze serves do the rest. But for this to work you need to have your pc to be on 24/7.
Self edit.
I also tried Nokia Email server. Works nice, but stopped to push email after a while and their push-time is much more than emoze or seven. It took few minutes for email to be
pushed to my device (seven/emoze do this immediately), and after a day of using the service did not push any email at all (well, it’s still beta).
@Michael Hunt & Kichu,
Thanks for the heads up on emoze, I’ll check itu out soon..
How to setup Emoze with several email accounts?
@Phelicks,
I’m not sure you are able to setup more than one email account using Emoze, It’s like the nokia intellisync where you are also not able to use more than one email account… I recommend using SEVEN for setting up several email accounts.
my next handset, after the first batch were sold out
HELP ME………. PLEASE!!!
Hi Friend
I have Nokia E71 and my official mails are running on google apps. As suggested I tried configuring Seven available for general symbian s60 3rd edition devices. I have created IMAP profile for my account but whatever I try I never get any option to start syncronise my mails. When I am in the mailbox created for Seven, I get only 3 options Create Message, Help & Exit.
Please can anybody guide me.

hi there hiroadrian heard of seven but but have not tried it yet. Tried nokia email instead on my 6120c, seven looks interesting. Will try it soon . i didn’t know that it can downLoad yahoo. As I am trying to avoid downloading yahoo mail into my phone because my yahoo mail are full of rubbish and junks and i i wanted to avoid paying for the gprs data charges just to download those junks . thanks anyway,
Hi guys,
I am using SEVEN and thinks it works great with Exchange. Though, one question; when replying from Outlook (with Excahnge), does it get markedet ‘replied’ on the phone? It works the other way.
Thanks.
Jan
thx, i like this info.
i can;t find E71 when choosing phone type selection menu, why;s it ?
Hi there
just try Nokia Email Beta
https://email.nokia.com/account/home.action
@aglc
please tell us how we might be able to help you..
@ Joel
Actually the SEVEN application will start to sync automatically according to your own weekdays start and stop configuration. Try to check your sync settings by going to: Options>General Settings>Push Settings. In the push settings configuration you can set when you want the synchronize process to start and stop by defining the weekdays start time and weekdays end time.
I hope this helps, tell us how you do okay..
cheers!
@Jan,
Sory, but I haven’t tried using exchange with seven, but I doubt that the replied sign will be synchronized to your phone (via SEVEN)..
@ichan,
I didn’t find the option for E71 also, but you have the option of choosing “Nokia S60 3rd Edition” device:
By the way….what’s the website of SEVEN? i can’t find it in email.nokia.com????
thanks
Hi Hiro Adrian,
Greetings from Adrian hehehe… we have the same name.
I’ve been reading on Seven and Emoze and, CMIIW, but I find that Seven push e-mail application is dependent to particular mobile service providers, whereas Emoze isn’t. For example, in Indonesia, you would have to be a Telkomsel or Telkom Flexi user in order to use Seven application (that you can download from Ventus, the designated push e-mail provider).
Thus, that makes Seven a paying service, as opposed to Emoze which is a free service (so they claim, I wouldn’t know as I haven’t used it, can somebody enlighten me on this?)
I wouldn’t mind subscribing to push e-mail service as long as it’s usable across mobile service providers.
@Adrian,
You don’t have to get the application download from Ventus, just download it directly from the site. Okay, maybe you missed the download page, so here is what you should do:
1. first reach this page: http://community.seven.com/download.php?target=ce
2. then try to ignore the “select country” and “send to phone”, but try to find the tiny words underneath the “select country wich says “downloading the software to you computer desktop” or here is the link: http://preview.seven.com/get/client/dl.do?b=def_seven&l=en_US
ps. it won’t hurt if you register to the beta testing program first..
Cheers!

hello. great info here.
i am using Seven on a Nokia E71. I can’t get new emails to push automatically. I have to go into the mailbox and select “check mail” Then, after doing that I am told if there are new messages or not.
I assumed the point was for this all to happen automatically.
I have set up my push times and such.
Best,
Mike
Thank you so much. this is valuable information for my e71. Will try out for sure.
guys ada yg tahu nggak cara setup voip atau internet phone di e 71? thanks

hi hiro thank you for your wonderful blog. I just got the e71. really happy with it. I tried the nokia email first. I felt it was a bit slow. So then I tried the Seven app. Much faster interface. Thank you

hi..i’m so glad to find this blog, it’s very helpful..but i still i have a question to ask..well,when i install seven, there’s a question about my phone number,what does it mean?i’m afraid that i should pay for this service through my cellphone provider at the end of the month,hehe.. lookin’ forward for ur answer..thx
Will the charging be more expensive using seven than a blackberry service since it is continuously connected via gprs?
hey, i think i am having a really blonde moment, but i sitll do not know how to set up email on the E71. is there a walkthrough guide that isnt the one on nokias web page that anyone knows of? also do you have to get one of these push things from seven etc?? didnt realise how useless i am with technology till this phone..any help is welcome??
Note for yahoo users. Emoze does not work with free yahoo mail version, you will have to have the mail plus version.
SEVEN works with free yahoo mail accounts
Hi i m vaibhav chavan, i am using E71 with vodafone service but i am not able to access mail through that, plese give me reply urgentaly
respected sir,madem
NOKIA E71 this mobile manual settings for GPRS pls send me.
hi guys,
I installed 7 on my E71 and as far as i can tell, it worked well. However, to those who’re price-sensitive, emoze would be nice as well.
hey there.
i installed the seven beta on my phone and work laptop and its working smoothly but soon realised that i am not receiving any emails if my computer is not switched on! why is this? so sorry am kinda a newbie with this hope someone can clarify.
thanks!
SEVEN and Emoze are both fine (I use both) however what is the point of having multiple email addresses when ONLY TWO can be shown on the homepage of my E71? And to make things worse, these 2 emails must be configured in the native Nokia Messaging Application.
So you have several email accounts set up however when looking at your phone there is no way of telling how many new messages you have unless you into the MEssagibg application itself.
As good as the E71 is, this is a dealbreaker for me, I’m going back to Windows Mobile 6.
Does anyone have a solution for displaying all email notifications on the homescreen?
The real problem here is that those programs drain your battery as they stay connected alllllllllllllllllll the time to the internet in order to get a PSEUDO PUSH email , the PUSH email connection must be initiated from the server side like blackberry does, not from the phone (PULL) , if you use the email wizard already built-in on your phone, it will check every certain period of time
I’ve tested Seven en works great, but I’m not quit convinsed about the fact that it’s free or not.
Does somebody knows?
Oh, and what about the traffic it has?
Hi guys.
I just got my E71 but I’m trying to set up my corporate email aaccount but haven’t had luck doing it, I tried the seven software and the default software on the phone but didn’t work. I went to the local phone company provider, but they weren’t helpful enough for the set up.
Do you guys have any idea or any extra tip, to help me out to set my account on the push email service, I use to have Blackberry but wanted to try a different equipment.
Thxs in advanced
