functions, such as fixed dialing.
After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the PIN code is blocked, and you must unblock it with a PUK (Personal
Unblocking Key) code before you can use the SIM card again. The PIN2 code may be supplied with some SIM cards, and is
required to access some functions, such as fixed dialling number. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the
service provider for your SIM card.
• Lock code — The lock code protects your device against unauthorized use. The default lock code is 12345. Change the code,
and keep the new code in a safe place, separate from your device.
• PUK and PUK2 codes — The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code is required to change a blocked PIN code. The PUK2 code is
required to change a blocked PIN2 code. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the service provider for your
SIM card.
• Restriction password — The restriction password is needed when using the Call restriction service. See "Changing the
restriction password," p.72.
Some applications of the device use passwords and user names to protect against unauthorized use of the Internet and its
services. These passwords are changed in the settings of the applications.

Avoiding low memory
You should regularly delete messages from Inbox and Sent folders, and delete retrieved e-mail from the device memory to free
up memory space.
To delete e-mails from the device, press Menu, and select Tools > Delete e-mails locally.... Press Change, and select the e-mail
you want to delete. For example, you can delete all e-mail or only e-mail that was received more than two weeks ago. Press
Delete now to delete the e-mails. Note that the e-mail and its attachments are deleted, but the header information (sender,
date and subject) remains on your device.
Tip: Use this method to delete e-mail only from the device. The original e-mail remains on the server. If you delete e-
mails with the Delete command button in Messaging, the messages you delete are permanently deleted from the
device and your remote mailbox the next time you go online.
To delete e-mail both from the device and from the remote server, open an e-mail, and press Delete.
To empty the Sent folder automatically, press Menu, and select Tools > Sent items storage.... Set Delete sent items to
automatically, and enter the number of days after which the device empties the folder.
E-mail
To write and read e-mail, go to Messaging.
The Nokia 9300i mail system is compliant with Internet standards SMTP, IMAP4 (rev 1), and POP3.
To receive and send mail, you must set up a remote mailbox service. This service may be offered by an Internet service provider,
a network service provider, or your company.
Before you can send, receive, retrieve, reply to, and forward mail on your device, you must do the following:
• You must configure an Internet access point (IAP) correctly.
• You must define your mail settings correctly. See "E-mail account settings," p.30.
Follow the instructions from your remote mailbox and Internet service providers. Contact your network and Internet service
providers or operator for the correct settings.
Working online and offline
Working online means working with your device connected to a remote mailbox through an Internet connection. When online,
you can delete, rename, or create new folders in your remote mailbox. When you work offline, which means that your device
is not connected to a remote mailbox, you can delete only messages, not folders.
Note that any changes you make in the remote mailbox folders while offline take effect in your remote mailbox the next time
you go online and synchronize.
If you delete an e-mail from your device when offline, the e-mail will be deleted from the remote mailbox the next time you
connect to the mailbox. You can delete a message from your device to save memory. See "Avoiding low memory," p.28.
Managing your e-mail offline enables you to save in connection costs and work in conditions that do not allow a data connection.
If you work in conditions where one connection becomes unavailable, you can change the connection.
Changing the Internet connection
If your connection becomes unavailable, you may need to change the connection.
To use another connection, press Menu, and select Tools > Change connection. Scroll to a new connection, and press Connect.
Note that you must select an e-mail account and be online before you can change the connection, and that the connection is
changed only for that account.
You are asked for confirmation if your current connection becomes unavailable, if you have not set the device to change
connection automatically. See "E-mail account settings," p.30.
To use another connection, scroll to the connection you want to use, and press Change.
To go online after selecting a new connection, press Connect.
Writing and sending e-mail
Press Write message, select E-mail, and press OK.
To write new e-mail, press Recipient. Select the recipient of the message from the Contacts directory, and press To. Enter a
subject and the message, and press Send. You can also enter the recipient's e-mail address in the To: field. Note that e-mail
addresses cannot contain accented characters such as Å, Ä, or É.
Tip: If you select the primary recipient of the e-mail from the Contacts directory, you can also select other recipients
using the Cc (the recipient is shown to all other recipients) and Bcc (the recipient is hidden from all other recipients)
buttons.

Character sets affect the way your e-mail is shown by the recipient's e-mail program. If the entire message or words with special
characters are shown incorrectly, the cause may be the used character set.
Tip: You can change the character set for e-mail that is in plain text format. E-mail in HTML format always uses UTF-8
