Re: Modest Beta for OS2008 Now Out

Great... W16 now says imap.gmail.com server name or port number incorrect. So no new mail unless I use the web.

Well, for approximately the last two months, Modest has been working well for me with GMail SSL POP3 and an SSL POP3 account I have with a local ISP. 16-1's broken though. Hopefully, 17 will come soon.

So far so good with munky261's solution (w15)... I've been receiving e-mails without any internal errors for a whole day now. The messages still aren't marked "read" if I read them from the panel notification, only when I read them from the main Modest window.

Thanks for the heads-up, I won't upgrade to 16-1.

Well, since nobody bothered to file a bug (that's what you have to do to help things get better), I filled it for you.

Hurrah! Thank you. In the words of Sir Topham Hatt, the Fat Controller on Thomas the Tank Engine, "You are a Truly Useful Engine."

Thanks. I hadn't found the time, and really, it's probably better that you did it. Your reputation may be enough that someone from the maemo team will actually look at the bug.

The release notes appear when you upgrade :-D

Yea I know, but I wanted to see the changelog or release notes prior to installing the upgrade. Maybe someone can post it as the new updates get released.

Installed 1.0-2008.16-1 through upgrading, now imap gmail (assuming it's the SSL issue) is no longer working. Looking forward to 17-1...

Re: Modest Beta for OS2008 Now Out

Is there any way to downgrade from version 17 to 16? I used to follow Qole method, but he was smart enough to avoid last upgrade...

1. Either go into red pill mode in Application manager or use "apt-get remove" as root. Remove the following packages (some may get removed when others are removed also):

modest
libtinymailui-gtk-1.0-0
libtinymailui-1.0-0
libtinymail-maemo-1.0-0 (removed with libtinymailui-gtk-1.0-0)
libtinymail-gnomevfs-1.0-0
libtinymail-1.0-0
libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 (removed with libtinymail-1.0-0)

2. I think you need to be in red pill mode for this. Go to the modest repository with your web browser, or, probably easier, use the links in the list below. If you use the repo, you need to install the Feb. 29th version of the following packages (click on the link and use "open"), and I think they need to be in this order. If a package insists on one of the other ones as a dependency, just install the dependency first.

If someone finds a problem with my instructions, my links or the install order, please tell me.

This will probably be obsoleted soon, when they release a fixed version. But if you can't wait for the update...

2 questions:

1. What is the difference from following all of these instructions and simply clicking on uninstall and then running the older debs from here?

2. If this is necessary for proper uninstall / downgrade, are these instructions still valid as alephito was asking (i mean besides that I would need to change version numbers from w10 to w14 or whatever I wanted)?

Re: Modest Beta for OS2008 Now Out

Hi Guys,

I use pop3 to check my mail and I am also getting the same error. Should I file a separate bug report or will the first one suffice? Maybe Ill just add a comment to the other report.
