Before you can send and retrieve any e-mails, you have to configure the e-mail settings on your phone.

Press Menu and select Messages, Message settings, and E-mail messages.

• First select Active e-mail settings and activate the set in which you want to save the settings. Select Edit active e-mail settings and edit the active settings.
  
  Select each of the settings one by one and key in all the required
  settings. Contact your network operator or e-mail service provider
  for the settings.
  
  
  • Mailbox name. Key in the name that you want to use for the mailbox. You can use any name.
    
    
  • E-mail address. Key in your e-mail address.
    
    
  • My name. Key in your name or nickname. Your name and e-mail address will be shown.
    
    
  • Outgoing (SMTP) server. Key in the server address.
    
    
  • Incoming server type. Select either POP3 or IMAP4 depending on the type of e-mail system that you are using. If both types are supported, select IMAP4. Changing the server type also changes the incoming port number.
    
    
  • If you have selected POP3 as a server type, then Incoming (POP3) server, POP3 user name, and POP3 password are shown.
    
    If you have selected IMAP4 as a server type, then Incoming (IMAP4) server, IMAP4 user name, and IMAP4 password are shown.
    
    Key inthe e-mail server address for incoming e-mail, then key in the user name and password to access the e-mail account.
    
    If you have not defined an SMTP user name or SMTP password, the e-mail server uses the POP3/IMAP4 user name and password instead.
    
    
• Other settings and select:
  
  
  • Include signature. You can define a signature that is
    automatically added to the end of your e-mail when you
    write your message.
    
    
  • Use SMTP authorisation. If your e-mail service provider
    requires authentication for sending e-mail, select Yes. In this
    case, you must also define your SMTP user name and SMTP
    password.
    
    
  • SMTP user name. Key in the user name for outgoing e-mail that
    you have obtained from your e-mail service provider.
    
    
  • SMTP password. Key in the password that you want to use for
    outgoing e-mail.
    
    
  • Outgoing (SMTP) port. Key in the number of the e-mail server
    port for outgoing e-mail. The most common default value is
    25.
    
  If you have selected POP3 as the server type, the following
  options are shown:
  
  • Incoming (POP3) port. Key in the port number that you have
    obtained from your e-mail service provider.

    the replies to be sent.
    
    
  • Secure login. Select Secure login on if your connectionrequires an encrypted login, otherwise leave it to Secure login off. Contact your service provider if in doubt. Using encrypted login enables increased security for user names and passwords. It does not increase security for the connection itself.
    
    
  • Retrieve e-mail. Key in the maximum number of e-mail messages that you want to retrieve at a time.

    only e-mail that you have not read.

    required for outgoing e-mail.

    required for incoming mail. See Keying in the service settings
    manually in the printed Nokia 6230 User’s Guide.

    required settings. Contact your e-mail service provider for the
    settings.
