1. Introduction
This document describes the steps needed to set up the Nokia 9290 Communicator to read and write e-mail.
The Nokia 9290 Communicator messaging system includes an e-mail client that supports the most common Internet
e-mail protocols to access a company's e-mail server.
Figure 1 illustrates how the communicator connects to the e-mail server via a dial-in service access point.

For more information about compatible e-mail servers, see
There are certain requirements to make e-mail access possible. There must be:
a TCP/IP connection between the communicator and the user's e-mail server (via a dial-in service with PPP
support). For more information about setting up network connections in the Nokia 9290 Communicator, see the
Nokia 9290 Communicator Internet Communications Guide
POP3 or IMAP4 (Version 4rev1, RFC 2060) protocol support from the remote e-mail server for retrieving messages.
Both of these protocols are commonly supported by the latest e-mail servers.
SMTP support for sending e-mail messages.
Messages must also follow MIME formats.
RFC documents specifying these protocols are listed at the end of this document.
Note that the X.400 mail system is not supported.
For better security, it is possible to use encrypted connections between the communicator and the e-mail server.
Encryption is implemented using transport layer security (SSL/TLS), which protects the IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP
connection between the communicator and the e-mail server. Note that encrypted e-mail messages (such as S/MIME
and PGP) are not supported. Secure SSL/TLS connection is negotiated using IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP protocol
extensions (specified in RFC 2487 and RFC 2595). Systems that use a separate TCP port for secure connections, and do
not negotiate the security protocol during the IMAP/SMTP session, are not supported.
