1. Introduction
This document describes compatible e-mail systems that can be used with the Nokia 9290 Communicator.
The Nokia 9290 Communicator messaging system includes an e-mail client that supports the most common Internet
e-mail protocols to access the company's e-mail server. Figure 1 illustrates how the communicator connects to the e-
mail server via a dial-in service access point.
Figure 1. Connecting the Nokia 9290 Communicator to an e-mail server
There are certain requirements to make e-mail access possible. There must be:
• A TCP/IP connection between the communicator and the user’s e-mail server (via a dial-in service with PPP
support). For more information about setting up network connections in the Nokia 9290 Communicator, see the
Nokia9290CommunicatorInternetConnectionsGuide.
• POP3 or IMAP4 (Version 4rev1, RFC 2060) protocol support from the remote e-mail server for retrieving messages.
Both of these protocols are commonly supported by the latest e-mail servers.
• SMTP support for sending e-mail messages.
• Messages must also follow MIME formats.
RFC documents specifying these protocols are listed at the end of this document.
Note that the X.400 mail system is not supported.
For better security, it is possible to use encrypted connections between the communicator and the e-mail server.
Encryption is implemented using transport layer security (SSL/TLS), which protects the IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP
connection between the communicator and the e-mail server. Note that encrypted e-mail messages (such as S/MIME
and PGP) are not supported. Secure SSL/TLS connection is negotiated using IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP protocol
extensions (specified in RFC 2487 and RFC 2595). Systems that use separate TCP ports for secure connections, and do
not negotiate the security protocol during the IMAP4, POP3, or SMTP session, are not supported.
2. Sending and Receiving E-mail
The communicator supports both POP3 and IMAP4 protocols for retrieving e-mail. Either of them can be used, but
IMAP4 is recommended, since it enables the user to access different folders and to determine whether or not to

retrieve attachments. The e-mail client in the communicator sends e-mail messages using the SMTP protocol, and
both MIME1 and MIME2 encodings are supported.
Attachments are supported and downloaded attachments can be viewed on the communicator. Initially supported
attachment types are marked with (*) in Table 1. Other attachment types in Table 1 are supported if the appropriate
application or converter is installed in the device. New attachment types can be supported via add-on applications
installed in the communicator. Downloaded attachments can be also saved to files, and transferred to a PC for
viewing. Overall use of attachments is rather limited by the small disk space and amount of free memory. A memory
card can be used to expand the available disk space for messaging.

3.17 Other solutions
If the e-mail server does not support the POP3/IMAP4 and SMTP protocols, connections to the e-mail server can also
be established with the communicator’s Web browser as shown in Figure 1, if the e-mail server supports HTTP/HTML
access.
Additionally, it may be possible to use converter software that provides necessary POP3/IMAP4 and SMTP protocol
support for the e-mail server. Use of the converter is illustrated in Figure 2.
