Remove extra steps navigating to Inbox within Modest
 

[Cross-posting BRAINSTORM entry: Remove extra steps navigating to Inbox within Modest.]

Hi,

Perhaps like me, you check email via Modest several times each day. And perhaps like me, you have several accounts.

If so, perhaps you've noticed how many steps it takes to get from the initial open of Modest to an 'inbox' folder. I've entered the following bug for Maemo5 in the hopes of eliminating those extra steps:
EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
(Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message
Connection Failed appears))
1. When opened, Modest displays Account List
2. User clicks on desired Account (often Account last viewed)
3. Modest displays Folder List of desired account
4. User clicks on desired Folder (almost always 'Inbox')
5. Modest displays 'Inbox' of selected Account

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
1. When opened, Modest displays folder 'Inbox' of Account last viewed.
-and/or-
2. After Step 2 ("User clicks on desired Account"), Modest display folder
'Inbox' of selected account.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Extra steps 2, 3, 4 & 5, as described above, always required, no matter how many times per day user checks email.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
(always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10): ALWAYS

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: N/A
If you want to see this prioritized, please vote for this bug!

Thanks,

digittante

Thanks for reporting this, but there are currently no plans to change the
behaviour. It seems though that you have a totally valid point that the current
behaviour could be improved and some ideas about it.
Can you please file a ticket in http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/ ,
describing your problem there and the solutions that come to your mind? Thanks!

The scope of bugs.maemo.org are bugs and only very specific and no-brainer
enhancement requests. This report contains a feature request that is too
generic for bugs.maemo.org. Please post this problem and propose your
solution in Maemo Brainstorm instead:

I was trying to work on this problem as well and run into a problem with the modest api

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9162

I think we are just outta luck for the time being

If we could get this dbus send to work, making a widget or something to go to the default inbox would be trivial
