Ovi Mail 2.0 Comes with Ovi Contacts Integration

Ovi Mail has just reached a new version, namely Ovi Mail 2.0, and the developing team announced the addition of a new feature with the release, namely the merger of Ovi Mail contacts and Ovi Contacts into a single list. According to them, users are now able to view, edit, delete or create contacts either from Ovi Contacts or Ovi Mail.

Moreover, the new Ovi Mail 2.0 also offers users the possibility to sync the phonebook on their handset with Ovi Contacts and Ovi Mail. This is one of the functionalities that Ovi Mail users have been asking for, and it seems that now they can also enjoy it. Other features have been also added to Ovi Mail with this release, including Arabic support, the developing team notes.

When it comes to what users can do in Ovi Mail 2.0, the Ovi Mail team notes:
Save a contact and view from device:
1. User opens an email from a friend in Ovi Mail on the web and sends a reply back
2. Ovi Mail shows a dialog box asking if he wants to add the person to his address book. User says yes and fills in the entries and clicks on ‘Add contact’
3. Within a few minutes, the new contact appears in Ovi Contacts on the web because Ovi Mail now is integrated with Ovi Contacts
4. User decides to sync his phone to get the newly added contact on his phone. User can either initiate a sync from device or from Ovi Contacts on the web to sync his contacts
5. After the sync completes, user views the Phonebook on the device and the name of the friend and the newly added email address appear in the Phonebook on the phone

The Arabic support included in Ovi Mail 2.0 is meant to help customers in Arabic-speaking countries to view their accounts in Arabic. According to the Ovi Mail team, there are more than 280 million people who use Arabic as their first language, and this is why the feature was added, though it represented a challenging process, mainly due to the fact that it is a right-to-left language, something that required the modification of Ovi Mail's interface.
