We just got 2 new Nokia N78 on contract from o2 because we needed it for the sales team of SALAM Magazine. Ali has the other one. So anyway since it comes with free unlimited WAP, I thought why not utalise it much as I can. So I set it up to receive emails from Gmail. Here are the steps you have to take to receive emails from Gmail straight to your phone like an text message:

1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings.
2. Select ‘Messaging’ > ‘Options’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘E-mail’ > ‘Mailboxes.’
3. If you have never set up email on your phone before, select ‘Yes’ to define a new mailbox. If you already have other mailboxes, select ‘Options’ and then ‘New mailbox.’
4. Select ‘Start’ to begin the setup wizard.
5. Select ‘IMAP4′ and then ‘Next.’
6. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com (in my case it was @sal.am)‘) as the email address and select ‘Next.’
7. Enter ‘imap.gmail.com’ as the incoming mail server and select ‘Next.’
8. Enter ’smtp.gmail.com’ as the outgoing mail server and select ‘Next.’
9. Select the appropriate access point and then ‘Next.’
10. Enter a descriptive name for the email account mailbox name.
11. Once your mailbox is set up, select it from the email mailbox settings screen.
12. Select ‘Connection settings’ > ‘Incoming e-mail.’
13. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com (again for me it was @sal.am)‘) and password.
14. Select ‘SSL/TLS’ for your security (ports) and define your port as ‘993.’
15. Select ‘Back.’
16. Select ‘Outgoing e-mail.’
17. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com (again @sal.am for me)‘) and password.
18. Select ‘StartTLS’ for your security (ports) and define your port as ‘587.’
19. Select ‘Back’ and change any other settings according to your preferences.

This should work for all Symbian 60 phones. Link to the official instructions. Many thanks to then82blog.
