Oh that’s one thing we agree on, Ovi Mail and all the rest that is Ovi is most definitely a wonderful thing.

Thanks for the additional information. I have edited the main article to include the new information.

I doubt whether you will agree with me but don’t you think 5KB per email is a but too small? I doubt whether the free 5MB will amount to 1,000 emails for anyone…..

POP is only for receiving. Please also set up your outgoing mail settings. I believe that should be your SMTP settings.

am trying to send emails using my pop account and its not sending. What could be the problem? I can receive emails allright but cant respond to them using my pop account. The OVI account is great and working

1000 emails free with the 5MB that was being given by the operators – thats not decietful, that is a fact. 1000 emails which are less than 5kb in size. Ofcourse if you send massive emails it changes, but thats not the point. Please read the fine print in the ads.

Just wanted to let you know that the 1000 emails that are free of charge are in fact the free bandwidth from the operator.

Ovi mail is free and according to Nokia will always be free…

This makes it comparable to the other email solutions that you mention but with the HUGE benefit of being linked directly to your mobile phone and supported as a native client. In other words for the millions in Kenya that have never had access to a PC to be able to have a Gmail account they can now access email like the rest of us.

This is a wonderful thing!
