Fully understood and did not expect anything. Was just a shot in the dark. Maybe you could see something similar happen when reading the imap folder list?

Anyway, thanks for your efforts to keep that gadget alive.

Estel is correct in the translation :).

And in addition, please file a bug, despite all the migration issues CSSU had, as now they are solved (mostly if not fully), we'll re-start our bug triaging meetings etc. Otherwise you risk that report to be lost/forgotten.

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail

Working again. Thank you very much for the fix.

@freemangordon

I tried to narrow down, but could not see anything.

Here is some excerpt from gmx.de (not okay, as not complete):

and here from t-online (okay):

Is there similar debug possibilty on N9? So I may check there and maybe see what is different (assuming only to see that all folders are listed)?

fmg:
You'd like to see more?
Where to file this "bug" (bugs.maemo.org?)?

We do need all DEBs (of course not dbg neither dev)?
Hopefully no dependencies to other cssu libs?

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail

@peterleinchen - looking at that log, I'd rather say it is not modest to blame.

Code:

sending : H00007 LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "" *

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX

received: H00007 OK LIST completed

Code:

sending : J00017 LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "" *

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Drafts

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX/Fold2

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Fold1

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Sent

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" TMO

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" TMO/PM

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Trash

received: J00017 OK LIST completed

modest sends one and the same request, but receives different responses. It is either the sent messages differ (which is not seen it the logs) or gmail returns different responses based on some unclear criteria.

However, the place to open a bug is bugs.maemo.org . though it makes no sense to do it without a reproducible testcase.

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail

So is this what's finally going to get me to upgrade to CSSU? Or is it possible to release the bug fix to regular SSU?

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail

Will the cssu update for rhe message fetching bug be pushed out in quick time? Otherwise I will have to overcome my cluelessness and work out which debs I need to install, as I could really do with a working email client again on my odessy across Australia.

PS Many, many thanks to fmg for sorting this out so quickly.

Yes, it looks like everything wents fine.
But why on earth the N900 receives the list on account GMX.DE with only the INBOX?

Code:

sending : H00007 LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "" *

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX

received: H00007 OK LIST completed

But on all my other clients (incl. N9) I get the full list of folders?

Maybe the mail client identifies itself with a UserAgent or similar. And this one is outdated on this specific account gmx.de?
Some thing else???

Sorry for eventually confusing you:

This second code fragment was just an example from another account (NOT gmx.de, NOR gmail):

Code:

sending : J00017 LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "" *

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Drafts

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX/Fold2

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Fold1

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Sent

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" TMO

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" TMO/PM

received: * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Trash

received: J00017 OK LIST completed

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail

Ditto, a long time user here that has never upgraded to the CSSU... but now experiencing the outlined modest issue (thought I was the only one)

This community never ceases to amaze me.

So can the bug be fixed without changing to CSSU???

Thanks.

Welcome to the wonderful, messy, world of IMAP. I am by no means an expert, but I will point you to section 3.1 of RFC5258.

IMAP includes the concept of subscriptions, so a client can subscribe to specific folders. Some clients use this (Modest?), others not (N9?). A client can either choose to see only subscribed folders or all folders. A server will do whatever it likes, as no known combination of client-server seems to be standards compliant.

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail

no pichlo ;)
that was meant for peterleinchen

@peterleinchen - you need to use another email client to subscribe to the other folders you need. I used mutt a while back to do so, and voila, modest started displaying them :)
