Why aren't my Nokia Mail powered by Yahoo! contacts synchronized to my device? - Nokia FAQ

One possible reason is that Contacts will not be synced if you have not indicated your date of birth on your Nokia account. Ensure you have specified your date of birth and that you are older than 13.

On my device, I now have some new folders where the previous special character has been replaced by a " - ", why? - Nokia FAQ

Average Rating

Nokia Mail can no longer support special characters in folder names so those special characters have been replaced by the “-“ character. These new folders are now in line with the naming guidance, and they will be synchronized along with your account moving forward. The old folders with the special character will remain inactive on your device unless you log in to the web at https://email.nokia.com and uncheck these folders for synchronization.
