Nokia has release Nokia Email Beta 3. I loved this application but unfortunately it doesn’t support Google Apps domains (Gmail for Domains). But with some hacking and tweaking it is possible to add your Google App domain without any problems.

First create a Nokia Email account (with a Gmail account for example) and choose ‘Add another’ email address.

Step 1 Nokia Email

Choose Add another to add another email address.

Step 2 Nokia Email

[ad]

Choose any mailaddress but let it end with “imap.google.com”, enter your password and your name.

Press Next and the website will show you the following screen:

Step 3 Nokia Email

Select ‘Internet Email’. Now comes the tweaking part. Copy the following line, change the email address and put it in your addressbar and press Enter.

javascript:var myForm = document.forms['addEmailMoreInfo'];myForm.addEmailMoreInfo_addEmailBean_emailAddress.value=”email@address.com”;alert(myForm.addEmailMoreInfo_addEmailBean_emailAddress.value);

[edit]

It seems like the javascript doesn’t work when copy/pasting it. Please download the file

Here

[/edit]

An alert is shown with the entered email address. Check if the address is correct, press OK and then press Next.

Step 4 Nokia Email

[ad]

Et voila. The emailaddress shown in this screen is the email address you entered in the Javascript code which you pasted into the addressbar.

Change the User name if you want (I changed it into the name of my wife) and enter ‘imap.google.com’ as incoming mailserver and ‘993′ as email server port.

Press Next and your emailaddress will be added to your Nokia Email account.

Now you can receive mail, and send mail with the correct email address.

If you have any question, please let me now.

[edit]

It seems Nokia has changed the form names. A reader informed about is an gave me the new code to get it work again: javascript:var myForm = document.forms['addEmailAcctInfo'];myForm.addEmailAcctInfo_addEmailBean_emailAddress.value=”user@domain.com”;alert(myForm.addEmailAcctInfo_addEmailBean_emailAddress.value);

Did not work in Firefox also. How do u execute Javascript by pasting on the Address bar. That does not work.

[admin]
You have to copy/past it from the textfile, change the mailaddress and paste it into the addressbar of your browser and then press ‘enter’ (a javascript alert must be shown) and then click “next”
I tested it with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. All of then work without a problem.

Sorry i spent 2 hours reading your instructions and following them step by step but i was not able to reach the goal. I mean, wen i paste the script in the browser address bar, i cange the email address with the one i want to use then i press enter and click next. I tried this many adn many times using Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Safari, Opera 9 but the result was a new window with myuser@imap.gmail.com as my email address (not corrected by script)
Where do i go wrong?

[admin]
The next try a couple of days later did work.

I am managing to change the email address but then when I click next on the final step after entering the port number I get “Unable to connect to the server with the email service details provided. Please check the server name and port number and try again.”

I have checked them and rechecked. I am entering everything correctly.

Thanks.

Beste Jeroen,

Alle stappen werken naar behoren, alleen de allerlaatste stap als ik een nieuw email adres aant toevoegen ben gaat fout, hij zegt dan: “We are unable to process your request at this time. Try again later”. Ik heb het inmiddels een aantal dagen geprobeerd.

Trouwens, in jouw tekst staat imap.google.com maar in je plaatje imap.gmail.com.

Ik hoop dat je me kan helpen.

gr Jasper

Is not working for me… I tryed on MAC with Safari and Firefox, on XP with Chrome, IE7 and Firefox… there’s no message after I enter the javascript on the address bar. Nothing happen. I can setup the account but remains as @imap.gmail.com
Any idea?

I could change the email address to google apps address. However, my Nokia email service does not automatically detect the account and ask for the smtp/pop/imap details again. When I enter it, it says “unable to connect with the information provided”. What am I doing incorrectly?

When you get the “cannot process at this time” error, please chech if IMAP is enabled. maybe that’s the issue.

Hi,

I’ve tried with the javascript but didn’t work for me. I think that nokia changed the form names…

I’ve analyse the source of the web page, and the new form name is “addEmailAcctInfo” instead of “addEmailMoreInfo”

with the new code : javascript:var myForm = document.forms['addEmailAcctInfo'];myForm.addEmailAcctInfo_addEmailBean_emailAddress.value=”user@domain.com”;alert(myForm.addEmailAcctInfo_addEmailBean_emailAddress.value);

it works now for me.

Thanks

I do not have a symbian phone anymore, so I don’t use it anymore. And after the latest update I could add my google-app account without any tricks.

Please see the post of Jamal and try that code; maybe it works.
