I have recently updated all my pc's to windows 8 and office 2013 (beta for now)

i seem to bee having issues with the Outlook 2013 being able to set-up my OVI email account.

there are no issues when using the windows mail platform in windows 8 which automatically pulls the settings and works very well, however, the Outlook 2013 cannot pull the settings automatically nor when i input manually, like before, does it accept it.

has anyone been able to get Outlook 2013 to connect to OVI.com Email with IMAP yet?

If so, can you please post what settings you are using so that I can try and duplicate it?

settings already tried:

imap.ovi.com

smtp.ovi.com

mail.ovi.com

mail.ovi.com

imap.nokiamail.com

smtp.nokiamail.com

nokia.pop.mail.yahoo.com

nokia.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

ok...I got it.

I will post instructions for others as it could be used in the future as others update to Office 2013

For anyone who is having issues connecting your OVI mail with Outlook 2013, this is the way to set it up as below.  For some reason, as of the date of this post, Outlook 2013 will not automatically pull the settings and the traditional settings that we used to use, did not work.

note:  the windows mail version, which is the applications version on the tiles screen, works without issue. this is specifically for OUTLOOK 2013.

 Then clock on More Settings...

once this is complete, just click on OK and then continue through and you should have your OVI mail working.

This is about the 5th Nokia provided specification of parameters for a IMAP connection to Nokia-Mail floating around. As this is the last to date, can you confirm that this is the official one guaranteed to work for some time in the future. My last configuration was functioning for six month and than suddenly stopped about a week ago (mail agent: Thunderbird 17.0).

Incoming IMAP Mail Server:

Server Address:  nokia.imap.mail.yahoo.com

• Secure connection: SSL/TLS

• Port: 993 

Outgoing SMTP Mail Server:

•  Server Address: nokia.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

•  Secure Authentication: None

•  Secure connection: Auto (SSL/TLS)

•  Port: 25

Logon Information:

•  Username: <your account>@ovi.com

•  Password: <your password>

Same account setting for in- and outgoing servers.

Is there a problem if the email client connects at the same to email accounts by Yahoo (account_1@yahoo.com) and Ovi account_2@ovi.com)?

Got it working and hoping that this solution is stable.

Small corrections to settings for the Outgoing SMTP Mail Server (mail agent: Thunderbird 17.0).

Outgoing SMTP Mail Server:

•  Server Address: nokia.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

•  Secure Authentication: None

•  Secure connection: SSL/TLS

•  Port: 465
