Several issues, most of which are easily identified and fixed, can cause your Nokia 6220 Classic cellphone to experience problems when sending and receiving email. Released in July 2008, the 6220 Classic comes with other messaging features that can -- should your efforts to fix the emailing problems fail -- act as viable communication alternatives.
Memory
The Nokia 6220 Classic comes with just 120 MB of internal memory, which limits the amount of data you can store on the device, including email messages using third-party email applications. As the phone's internal memory nears capacity, you may experience slower processing speeds, which can affect the rate at which outgoing email messages are sent. The delay could be so extensive that it appears that the email is failing to send.
The 6220 Classic also features 128 MB of random-access memory, better known as RAM, which stores copies of files for faster processing. If you do not turn the phone off for long periods of time, the RAM fills up and can also result in slow processing speeds. Turning the device off and back on again clears the RAM and could produce faster processing speeds.
Applications
A variety of third-party email clients, such as Yahoo! and Gmail, produce applications that can be used on the Nokia 6220 Classic. Because the phone has been around since 2008, its ability to support newer email applications could be limited. If this is the case, you will experience frequent email problems, such as slow access and failure to send or receive messages. You can avoid this problem by accessing your email online through the phone's Web browser or by uninstalling and reinstalling the email application.
Networking
The Nokia 6220 Classic connects to the 2G and 3G wireless networks, which offer different data transfer speeds. By default, the phone connects to the 3G network for all of its transmission purposes, including sending and receiving email. If the 3G network is unavailable, the 6220 Classic switches to the 2G network, which transmits data much slower than the 3G network. When this happens, you will experience longer waits and situations in which it appears that the device is not sending or receiving email properly. Waiting until the phone has established a link to the 3G network may resolve the issue.
Expanded Memory and Messaging
If you suspect that the Nokia 6220's email problems are related to its memory limitations, you can install more memory into the device's card slot, which supports microSD memory cards of up to 8 GB of expanded memory. This will greatly enlarge the phone's storage capacity, but it will not resolve the problems that can be caused by the phone's limited RAM. The 6220 also supports text, video, voice and picture messages, which can serve as viable alternatives to sending and receiving email using the device.
