Rightly or wrongly I tend to consider MfE a part of Modest, or in a more general sense part of the email functionality that is provided on the device. Same goes for Nokia Messaging. They may all exist as three separate but linked components however the common or garden user doesn't care, they just get a shonky email experience because as a whole it's all so flakey and under-developed.

However it is great to see the MfE developers getting involved and actually communicating directly with their end users - a model for everyone else perhaps.
