Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Hi, since last weekend I have the problem with gmail "message not available on the server".
I think it is not a problem related to n900 because I have not made any change for some months. On the contrary google changed many things (for example the interface).
My request is the following: if someone, who knows how to solve this problem, could explain the solution in an EASY WAY, I would be grateful.
Thank you

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

"message not available on the server" hmmmm. I've tried everything. Nothing works. How is any way to arrive emails from gmail?
Thank you. If someone can find a solution, get a beer. :D

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

You need an updated version of Modest. It is currently in CSSU Testing, fixed in 8.2 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1274

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Yes, today's cssu update fixed it for me. Thank you Maemo community! You're truly one of kind!

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Thanks :) Big thanks to the maemo community! beer for everyone!

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Well, I think it will be better to donate those money to Maemo Community (whatever that means these days ;) ). Or to support mine and the others efforts by other means - wiki edits, testing, bug reports, administration, etc. Luckily I earn enough money in RL, so I can afford to contribute for free. If that changes I'll make you aware :)

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Actually I am not using CSSU. Should I install it? And have I to uninstall Linux kernel for power users first? Or have I to reflash? :confused::(

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Do it like it says in that link. It helped me a lot.

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Fixed the same issue for me with CSSU/Stable (6.1). Also made it much faster than old Nokia PR1.3 so look forward to that if you upgrade! For some reason it was behaving as though it had the old notifier-id build-up bug from previous Nokia PR releases (though it didn't, no ids listed in that file); entering an inbox previously made it take up to a minute (usually 5-40seconds depending when was last refreshed/viewed/other unguessable factors) to show the list of emails, for ALL accounts (not just gmail, but that's my main account and it was worst affected). Hadn't reinstalled email accounts for a long time.

But upgrading to stable from PR1.3.1 also broke my (builtin) alarm sounds (I had profilesX installed before), theme desktop background, and my old sms/IM conversations disappeared - am gonna try to restore from the last backup for conversations - strongly recommend making backup before you do an upgrade! (though my n900 PR1.3 was a bit broken before, just not in those ways).

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Okay, here my 'contribution' for all those fellows out there still on stock PR and gmail problem.
Do not try to install the CSSU deb packages, as this might lead to a broken dependency problem on your device.

I made me a workaround (Not really clean and nice, but working. And hey, who expects another update from N...a?). I extracted all the libs from the debs and copied them directly to /usr/lib by overwriting existing ones. This way I have working modest in stock PR1.3.

I attach here two (due to max. upload size) tar.gz files.
Close modest and "install" with
Restart modest and enjoy.

All credits to freemangordon.


--BIG EDIT
Do not use the here attached version of libraries but use the tar.gz files from here. They also include the fix for enabling TLS (thx to foobar).

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Thanks a lot.

Great to know I am not the only one still enjoing an N900

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Sorry my english.

No solved for me with:
sudo gainroot
cd /
tar xvzf path/to/downloaded/libtinymail-tiny.tar.gz
tar xvzf path/to/downloaded/libtinymail-camel.tar.gz

I have working modest in stock PR1.3 too, but the gmail problem continue for me.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

@gitanorro, did you understand the "path/to/downloaded/libtinymail..." bit?
Did the tar command run and succeed?
Can you provide the output?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

I think that understanding:

OK,OK,OK Is working yet. I do it fout times and don`t worked.

Very, very trank's.:D:D:D

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Oops, maybe my fault also. :( Didn't I write killall instances of modest and restart? Sorry (going to edit my post).

A reboot is of course the safest way. ;)

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Hi,
for me the gmail problem is solved. However I have the impression that now I have some problems when I connect to internet. In the last days I experienced these strange facts: about 10 times it happened that the connection to internet fails (both mail and web browser). I wonder if this update has changed something in the way n900 connects to the web or not. I could not swear it is because of the update, but it sounds strange, because before the update I had no problems with connection and data transfer.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Heya Peter.

I'm using a N800 with the same problems on my end.

Any chance on a Maemo 4 fix as well?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

As I wrote above: all credits to freemangordon!
So I think he may answer that question.

I never owned a Maemo4 device, so I do not know what version of modest is used.
But sources are open (see fmg's post) and I believe it will be the same bug. So if anybody out there can compile libtinymail and camel libs for Maemo4, it should be possible imho.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Yep, someone have to compile tinymail for n800.

The source code is here https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/...l/trees/master

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Thanks guys.

As far as I'm aware of though, nobody here is still compiling for this much older OS.

Oh well.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

I installed CSSU Stable and that solved the Gmail problem. :cool:

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Addison, maybe it's good opportunity to setup scratchbox for Maemo4 yourself, and try compiling it? It's rather hard for others that don't have device in question - impossible to check, if results are OK.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

I installed CSSU just for this :) And my Gmail works now, brilliantly. Thanks you for your hard work!

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

I installed the CSSU (including the community SSU updates) but my gmail is still not working. Still getting the error [message] not available on server. Already tried to reboot and gmail still not working.

Please help to advise what else I should do. Thanks.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Bumpity booty.
Modest ver. 3.90.7-11.2+thumb3 here, experiencing the same problem as Joseph.

Has this issue re-appeared for anyone else?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

It is not modest version that matters, but tinymail, could you do

dpkg -l | grep tinymail

and post the result.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Hey freemangordon.
libtinymail 1.1.92+1cssu5+thumb0

Still using the merlin repo. Has it been replaced with a maemo.org integrated one or is this one still actively used?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Looks a bit strange to me.
You got version cssu5.
In devel repo currently is (old?) version cssu4 dated Nov2011, but it should be cssu6 from 2013 which holds the fix.

Are the merlin repos broken?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

It should be:
libtinymail-1.0-0 1.1.92+1cssu6+thumb0

Please enable the appropriate repos and upgrade to latest cssu-thumb

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

@freemangordon
Did you take a look into cssu-devel repo? There is atm only cssu4.
Or am I confused (linked above)?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

cssu-thumb is based on cssu-devel.

Where is the maemo.org hosted repository then?
I tried:
http://repository.maemo.org/community-thumb/
http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing-thumb/
But both don't lead anywhere and I can't find the url anywhere on the wiki.

Edit:
The cssu-thumb installer on the wiki still installs the merlin repo by the way, so if a new maemo.org repo has been created already, then the installer must be updated.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/community-thumb/
AFAIK thats the functional 'official' repo. Just cssu and cssu-testing are maemo based.

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

cssu-thumb is based on cssu-testing, cssu-devel is a developer-only repo you most probably don't want enabled on your device.

and yes, cssu-thumb is hosted on merlin1991's server

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Werpderp hurr.
Something must've gone wrong when I transferred the backup of my previous N900 to this one.
The apt-cache permission were wrong and I couldn't update it.

Problem solved.
Thanks guys.

PS: Shouldn't the cssu-thumb repo be moved to maemo.org?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Still cant get gmail to work re. message not on server. Downoaded CSSU off apps with no success.

Is there a once off app to fix the gmail imap problem?

I know zip about programming and dont want to anything more than download an app to fix this problem.

I have followed the thread and it all seems too technical for me.

Thanks for your help. :)

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Re my message above:

I managed to get it all sorted ... The Maemo Community is the best. My N900 has at least a few more years of life. ;)

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

First of all, thank you everybody for hard work, I can read gmail on my phone, awesome! :D

The question is: does Modest have search option? or Is there an email client for n900 that can look through 10 000 emails and find the one I need by key words?

Re: [solved] Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Yes it does, though it is rudimentary in the sense that you need to be in the folder being searched. Open the keyboard and start typing, say a keyword from the subject line, or address and it will filter the email listing accordingly.

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

Hi Freemangordon,

I have installed CSSU, after installation of CSSU. I could access gmail from my default E-Mail Client. However few days back I have started facing the issue again.

Please help.

Re: Problems with Modest and Gmail
 

I'm still using Nokia PR1.3 (kind of conservative :) ) And your solution is really working for me. Thanks a lot.:D
