Slight update to this:

When I initially set up my pop gmail account in modest my first action would be to send a test email to myself from the n800.
The test email never budged from the outbox despite many attempts .

Yesterday I opened Modest again and tried sending/receiving (not expecting anything to have changed) and, voila, it both sent my test email and received emails . It first prompted me if I wished to ignore security certificates which I did. I'd never been prompted for that before.

I still have an issue though - I can't open email folders .
Thus I can receive email and see that my inbox contains email but I can't see who it's from or what the subject is and I can't double-click on the folder to open it.

In other words I can't get past this:



The same goes for sent folders, outbox etc.

However, when I get an email notification I can click on that and open the full email. Very strange.

Any ideas? Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and do a full reflash. Does a full reflash mean I'd have to apply all the SSU updates post re-flash?
