ive tried using modest with many different email addresses and always have some kind of problem with it , the main problem seems to be that even though it isnt the default program its tied to it too much , just really want the finger friendly interface is its main selling point for me. still cant figure out the certificate problem when using gmail

I realize it's beta, but it's a real hassle to have the old App keep rising from the dead. I deleted all of my old accounts so that I can at least recognize the old app when it complains of not having any configured accounts.

I'm about ready to start hacking dbus calls. I want Modest to be the default.

I have the exact same problem: at seemingly random times, the old program pops up the "new mail" notification...really strange and random. It'd be great if there was at least some temporary hack we could do to really make sure Modest is the only app that ever checks for new mail.

I really have no problems, but I think thats probably because I never even tried to set up the old client. When clicking on an email link in a webpage the old client does pop up, but its not too much of a hassle for me to just close it. It's almost ready in terms of usability. I definitely use it a lot more since I got the N810 with the keyboard.

Just a warning, my system got toasted when I updated to the latest Modest (March 10, 2008) through the Application Manager (non Red Pill mode). I started getting constant "Internal Error: Application 'E-Mail' closed" messages in the middle of doing other stuff, like watching video or whatever.

I had to revert back to the old version (Feb 29) manually, and now everything's fine again.

Ok, so I did a search here on ITT for "modest graphics" and got nothing.

I asked on the modest-users mailing list, no response.

Will Modest eventually support inline graphics in emails?
I understand it is designed to be "lean 'n' mean", but sometimes it would be nice to have graphics displayed in an email.

Thanks.

I'm having the identical problem.

Any time it's check with it's automagic background mode. Same here. It's every 5 minutes or so for me, but that's what I have my check interval set to.

this latest release of modest is totally F.U.B.A.R..... i dont understand why the big finger friendly interface cant be integrated into the built in client and that be the end of it.
