Abstract
Method and apparatus for provisioning an e-mail service to a mobile terminal in an e-mail system that uses e-mail addresses comprising a domain part. The apparatus maintains a list of good setting parameter sets versus e-mail domain parts. It receives an e-mail address and user authentication information from a user and compares the domain part of the received address with domain parts in the list of good parameter sets. If a match is found, e-mail service is provisioned with the matching parameter set. If no match is found, the apparatus requests and receives further parameters from the user, including an e-mail server address, and provisions the e-mail service with the further parameters. If the provisioning with the further parameters is successful, the domain part and the further parameters are used to generate a new setting parameter set in the list of good setting parameter sets.

9. A method for provisioning access of a web service to a mobile terminal, the system comprising:
-
requesting, a mobile device for further parameters to authenticate to a web server hosting a web service, in response to detecting a mismatch between authentication information received from a mobile terminal with valid parameter settings; verifying the further parameters by sending a test message for access via the web service and verifying that the test message can be sent using the further parameters and is accessible through the web service. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method for provisioning access of a web service to a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
provisioning the web service on the mobile terminal with o parameter settings maintained at a provisioning server, using authentication information received from a mobile terminal; in response to detecting a mismatch between the authentication information and parameter settings maintained at the provisioning server, requesting the mobile terminal by the provisioning server for further parameters; verifying the further parameters by sending, by the provisioning server, content for access via the web service and verifying that the content is accessible through the web service. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
