Introduction

Emoze is an application that bring the power of push email to any Symbian phone. Push email is a service that allows you to receive your emails in real time. As long as you are connected to a data service, messages are automatically ‘pushed’ to your Symbian phone.

By the way kkndka if you read this please contact me.  Thanks.

 I got an email last week asking if emoze has a home screen alert on a Nokia E71.  I went to work right away documenting it and decided to put together a short video showing you how to set up the home screen alerts.  Also below is the very simplified instructions.  Good luck and if you need any help don’t hesitate to ping me.

Here are the steps written out for you:
Menu >> Tools >> Modes >> Home Screen Applications >> Enabled Applications >> Check Email 1 and Email 2 Notification (you can select only 1 if you only have 1 email set up) >> Press Ok.  Then back out of there and in Home Screen Applications select Email 1 Notification >> in Mailbox select the email account you want to be notified about >> In Preview play with it and select what you prefer >> Back out of that and you should be all set.  Now you’re going to say Jeb it’s not showing anything on my home screen.  Well send yourself a test email to the selected email address and when it arrives you will have an on screen notification and it’s better then the @ because you can see it much easier and clearer. 

I put together this short video showing you how to install emoze mobile push email client on to a Nokia S60 smart phone, also known as Symbian.  emoze is best 3rd party email application (I may be slightly biased because they are a client of mine), they are not just the best 3rd party email app they are also a push email application.  There’s a free version and a paid version.  Visit emoze.com for details and to get the application, or go to emoze.com on your mobile browser to download it directly.

I can be reached with any questions about Emoze at Jeb@emoze.com or on Twitter at @EmozePushEmail.

In the last few weeks AT&T has launched the Nokia E71x.  It looks almost the same as the original E71 but it is S60 feature pack 2 where as the original is S60 feature pack 1.  It comes in all black and with the AT&T branding / software built in.  One thing that was in question for me personally was if the Emoze email client would install properly and run.  Well, low and behold it does, it works great and I created a movie to show you just how to install it.

All you have to do now is take your phone and head over to m.emoze.com from it’s internet browser, download it and go to town with your email.If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.
