Doesn't there exist a regular GTK version of Modest too though? Should be usable on MeeGo too then. But then again all reference apps in Handset UX are Qt..
No tears over demise of Modest here either.

Good - I am tired with login race condition while access my mails from Yahoo IMAP.
With the introduction of the Qt Messaging Framework (QMF) in MeeGo - which seems to provide capabilities above and beyond those of Modest/libtinymail - does this mean the end of Modest?
I can't honestly say I would shed a tear for Modest if it were put out of it's misery, the development of a usable email client framework on Maemo by Nokia has been a long and tortuous affair that has yielded - after many years - a quite frankly low quality solution with numerous basic bugs that get precious little attention in Bugzilla.
Let's hope a decent email client can be slapped on top of QMF and MeeGo will have the email client it deserves.
And if QMF can be ported to Maemo5/6, perhaps a new and more capable email client will become available for these operating systems too!
