Folks,
I am from Malaysia. Bought my N8 on Oct 22. First week had no issues with Push Email. I come from N95->E90->E71->N97->N8 and found the new client with unified messaging that combines Mfe and rest pretty good. I had push email on Gmail ( 2 accounts), Yahoo ( 2 accounts) , Mfe and also on Windows Live mail.
No issues at all.
However on October 29, I updated via OTA the "Phone Apps Update" which among others I guess allowed me to update the Socially and have the capability to "share" with FBook directly from gallery.
I also noticed since then all my push mail ( Except Mfe) stopped working. I have checked thru online web, i have tonnes of new email on these Gmail/Yahoo accounts but none get delivered.
So I deleted one of the Gmail inbox and recreated it. I found now it seems no longer the "push email" type. When I try to set up the new mailbox There is a statement that says " cannot enable the mail service that allows you to fully experience your favourite providers,.....etc etc".
If i proceed to create the mailbox, its no longer the push type and I cannot select synchronize "soonest". It also has settings for imap mailbox and folder subscriptions, things which I didnt see before. Seems like a standard email box not tied into "nokia messaging" type push email boxes.
I have tried to set up with both 3G and also Wlan connection, same situation. No change.
I tried download nokia messaging from email.nokia.com...cannot install, component already built in.
I checked my internet settings to see if its pointed to my 3G connection, yes it does but no more push mail.
Besides Gmail i also tried to set up ovi mail, same issues. Seems push mail on N8 just died altogether. Nothing but mfe works.
Why do i suspect the phone apps update is the issue? Because all the email boxes are dead on same day october 29. The only other thing i have done from October 29 is install opera mini and mobile.
is the situation an issue with Nokia side ? Hope they fix the problem. Now the phone doesnt do what its advertised to do.
