Push email for Nokia 6120 Classic

I searched the ability of my Nokia 6120 classic which using Symbian S60 3rd regarding push email ability and found the fact that actually my Nokia 6120 classic able to do push email but should be installed push email application.

Before writing Nokia 6120 classic push email applications, it will be better if we know what the term of “push email” is. Based on Wikipedia, Push e-mail is used to describe e-mail systems that provide an “always-on” capability, in which new e-mail is instantly and actively transferred (pushed) as it arrives by the mail delivery agent (MDA) (commonly called mail server) to the mail user agent (MUA), also called the e-mail client.

So if this kind of push email system client is installed in phone, the email will be like SMS in phone.

Well, after further searching, I found that there are two good push email applications called system seven and the beta version of Nokia push email. For System Seven, i am little worry about the ability of the application to auto send sms into an isle of man number without our permission if we want to install system seven application in the phone. I don’t want to take a risk for installing that application. Therefore, i skip this application and then try to install the beta version of Nokia push email which can be found in http://email.nokia.com.

Actually, the beta version of nokia push email doesn’t have native application for nokia 6120 classic but we know that Nokia 6120 classic is slightly different with Nokia E51, therefore in this case, I use the E51 version of nokia push email application.  The step by step for installing nokia push email are like bellow :

Browse http://email.nokia.com and then sign up and choose Nokia E51. Follow the step and then you will be asked to put your phone number. Put your number and then you will be sent the link for downloading the push email application.

After the application successfully installed, you are ready to push you email into the phone like sms. The GUI appearance of Nokia push email is like blackberry GUI. The email will be categorized into the date.
For free applications, this Nokia push email application is good for me. I tested this application by sending email from my PC and that email arrived in my nokia 6120 classic quickly and gives notification in my phone if email is arrived.

One of the weaknesses of this application is ability to push the email in special folder. This application can sync email in special folder but not as good as sync in inbox folder. Meaning if email arrived from special folder, the application doesn’t give ringtone as notification.
