Hi,

Perhaps like me, you check email via Modest several times each day. And perhaps like me, you have several accounts.

If so, perhaps you've noticed how many steps it takes to get from the initial open of Modest to an 'inbox' folder. I've entered the following bug for Maemo5 in the hopes of eliminating those extra steps:

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
(Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message
Connection Failed appears))
1. When opened, Modest displays Account List
2. User clicks on desired Account (often Account last viewed)
3. Modest displays Folder List of desired account
4. User clicks on desired Folder (almost always 'Inbox')
5. Modest displays 'Inbox' of selected Account

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
1. When opened, Modest displays folder 'Inbox' of Account last viewed.
-and/or-
2. After Step 2 ("User clicks on desired Account"), Modest display folder
'Inbox' of selected account.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Extra steps 2, 3, 4 & 5, as described above, always required, no matter how many times per day user checks email.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
(always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10): ALWAYS

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: N/A

If you want to see this prioritized, please vote for this bug!

Thanks,

Per Forum/Community protocols, I've done the following with the above ideas:

• Created an official brainstorm entry
• Cross-posted that entry to the Brainstorm forum
• Cross-linked both entries together

Now that I've submitted these ideas online in 3 separate places using 2 distinct submission forms, I'm hopeful something might actually happen with them...;-)

Thanks for reporting this, but there are currently no plans to change the
behaviour. It seems though that you have a totally valid point that the current
behaviour could be improved and some ideas about it.
Can you please file a ticket in http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/ ,
describing your problem there and the solutions that come to your mind? Thanks!

The scope of bugs.maemo.org are bugs and only very specific and no-brainer
enhancement requests. This report contains a feature request that is too
generic for bugs.maemo.org. Please post this problem and propose your
solution in Maemo Brainstorm instead:

Got a trigger finger like me, then, eh?

"pending..." meant I was in the process of entering/updating the various posts (and making mistakes & cleaning them up, etc)...
