PROBLEM SOLVED: If u get a message ''unable to create mailbox''DO THIS
WHILE U ENTER THE USERNAME JUST PRESS THE HOME BUTTON TO GO TO YOUR HOME SCREEN AND JUST HOLD ON TO ''CALL END'' BUTTON. A message will pop up.press yes.This will switch off your internet. Now u can continue typing your username.if u have an active internet connection the mobile will try to verify your account,thats why the problem arises.

Its up dear symbian mates, currently I am using PicoMail4Gmail app from opera mobile store. Thats the only app for email which works for me in 2015, since bloody Microsoft stopped the good old Nokia messaging service this year...but dont get disappointed the one I have recommended will definitely be more than enough to use as a daily driver. :)

jade said...

THis is the major breakthrough in this application which can make it stand out in the other Email applications. www. gmail. com
