That will only work for the current connection and will get overwritten on the next one.

There isn't one by default, but you can produce a log by starting it like this:

Code:

$ CAMEL_DEBUG=all /usr/bin/maemo-summoner /usr/bin/modest.launch -s > /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/log 2>&1

(this might wrap, it should be all on one line) from a terminal.

2. different network (DNS) settings for different software?

In general that's not possible, they all use the same resolver library.

3. how to flush DNS cache(s) on the N900?

Code:

# kill -HUP `pidof dnsmasq`

This also happens automatically every time a new connection is established, so that's another way of doing it.
