I'm replying to this thread as well to mark that I too think that Modest could be improved.

It is "usable" by all standards, but satisfyingly usable only for casual and light users. I don't think either, that Modest can compete with other business orientated smartphones' e-mail programs.

I find the lack of a more clear way of searching for e-mails that have arrived as priority #1, as Modest serves to all my ("light and casual") needs well.

Let's get this post and Brainstorm going, but let's keep it constructive to ease the process of "fixing" Modest.

EDIT: Is there a way to rephrase the Brainstorm title and allow voting for Solution #1?
