I have the same problem as I had with previous version: Modest crashes when 810 is online AND at least one IMAP account is defined in the program.

Re: Modest Beta for OS2008 Now Out
 
I have not been able to find a list of what features modest currently has or what it will have when released. Can anybody tell me if modest currently deletes email from the server when deleted from the tablet? I want to leave my email on the server unless I delete it, like I do with the current email client. Whithout this feature modest will be useless to me. I hate having to go through the same junk email twice to delete it.

What I would like to have is for the email to have deleted folder and for the mail to stay on the server until I delete it from the deleted folder.

I stopped using Claws for email because it was missing this feature also.

Any other email program for the tablet does support deleting email from the server when delete locally?

Once deleted, it seems to delete from server. I just took two messages, deleted message, and they were not in the Trash folder on the server. Nor on the tablet.

To me... that's a slight problem. I'd rather they move to the Trash folder so that in case I make a mistake while traveling, then I'll be able to move them in case I "fat finger" the files.

But no room for rules quite yet...

I 90% like Modest.

But, it doesn't recognize all of my sub-folders (it recognized ONE of my nested folder groups, the first one alphabetically, but none of the others).

And I wish it would let me see both of my accounts at the same time.

Otherwise 1000% improvement over the existing built-in email client.

i agree that it needs to have the option to display more than one account at a time in the inbox and to refresh all accounts when you hit the button on the inbox , not have to go thru the menu and hit send / receive all thats a real pain in the ***

Re: Modest Beta for OS2008 Now Out
 
I don't want to see all of my accounts under 1 inbox. That'd be ugly.

I want to see multiple account trees.

Right now, you get something like this:

Account
  • Inbox
  • Folder A
  • Folder B

Local Folders
  • Folder C
  • Folder D

Removable Memory Card
  • Archive

... which is all well and good, but if you have multiple accounts, you have to pick which _ONE_ account to view at a time. What I should have is this:

Account 1 (home)
  • Inbox
  • Folder A
  • Folder B

Account 2 (work)
  • Inbox
  • Folder C
  • Folder D

Local Folders
  • Folder E
  • Folder F

Removable Memory Card
  • Archive

thanks for the feedback. It sounds like you have an IMAP setup. I am working under pop3. I will take even what the current mail reader has. I am just afraid it is going the way of claws mail and will only give me the all or nothing.

Re: Modest Beta for OS2008 Now Out
 
I hadn't tried deleting anything in modest yet ... yeah, I'm a "move to the trash folder" kinda person, not a "delete in place" kinda person. So, I hope they move to supporting that choice of deleting files.

(and, I too am on IMAP, and not POP)

I'm also not worried about client side filtering rules. I do all of that server-side (that way I don't have to duplicate my rules across multiple clients).

Yep... sorry I didn't state that I was using IMAP earlier. It's the sole reason I'm looking past the original built-in e-mail app.
