Ovi by Nokia is the brand for Nokia's Internet services. The Ovi services can be used from a mobile device, computer (through Nokia Ovi Suite) or via the web (Ovi.com). Nokia focuses on five key service areas: Games, Maps, Media, Messaging and Music. Nokia's aim with Ovi is to include third party developers, such as operators and third-party services like Yahoo's Flickr photo site. With the announcement of Ovi Maps Player API, Nokia has started to evolve their services into a platform, enabling third-parties to make use of Nokia's Ovi services. It has some significance in that Nokia is moving deeper into the world of Internet services, where head-on competition with Microsoft, Google and Apple is inevitable. Ovi is the Finnish word for "door". As of 27 January 2011 there were exactly 4.0 million downloads every day, also 92 developers reached over 1 million downloads for their Applications.

No, the emails that you received prior to the Ovi Mail move to Yahoo! are safe. You do not see all of them yet because they are in the process of being moved to your updated Ovi Mail account.

The maximum number of attachments that can be sent in one outgoing email is 10.

To free up storage space for your mailbox, delete any unnecessary email messages and empty your Trash and Spam folders. Also note that attachments can take up a lot of space.

It is recommended that you always log out at the end of each session. This is especially important if you are using a shared computer. If you do not log out, it is possible for others to view your email messages by using the browser’s Back button.

To logout of your session, click the Sign out link at the top of the screen. This ends your email session and prevents others from accessing your email account.

For added security, you should also close the browser after you log out to make sure that all session specific information is cleared from the browser's cache.

To delete a message from your Inbox, check the message’s associated check box, and then click Delete . Similarly you can select multiple messages and delete them all at once.

You can also move messages to the Trash folder using the More actions menu or by using drag and drop.

Deleted messages are moved to the Trash folder and still count toward your mail storage quota. Empty the trash regularly to permanently delete messages.
