Yes. Modest bug.

2. Desktop widget???? My E51 only showed the two most recent e-mails, which wasn't great, but at least that made it easy to see if I had new messages.
Very good idea. Could be implemented by the community, by the way. Modest is open-sourced...

3. So I click the @, and I'm shown "Mail For Exchange", and I have to select that every time, even though it's my only account. That might be slightly useful, if it didn't think when it was last updated was more important to tell me than if there are new/unread messages (Hint: it's not).
Modest-specific.

[Personal opinion begins]
I open mail application only once - during the device start-up. N900 is good with multitasking. That's why I prefer to keep the modest opened all the time. So, the idea is good but sounds like a minor improvement for me.

4. My account is configured to automatically move certain e-mails to subfolders. Once I've opened up my account, there's still no indication as to whether or not/how many unread e-mails there are. I have to scroll though the whole list to see if there is anything unread in my subfolders.
Yep. Missed modest feature. Modest is open-sourced product, by the way...

5. My most commonly used subfolder starts with "R". Since they are listed alphabetically, starting after all of the inbox/sent stuff, I need to scroll down through 4 pages of folders before I get to it. Reordering folders would be good, as would being able to hide folders or collapse sub-subfolders.
Feature request for modest. But I can suggest workaround(s):
  • Rename the most-used subfolder in such a way that it will be the very first in the list
  • Disable synchronization of subfolders which you don't want to see using mfefolders application which is accessible in extras-devel repository
