I had this fantasy that I was hallucinating about not seeing any improvements.
Looks the same to me,
but I thought I would least ask to make sure that my perceptions were not
skewed by false hopes or some neurological malfunction on my part.
My take on it is they seemed to have made some virtually imperceptible changes,
but the application remains a hopelessly brainless piece of crippleware.
Claws, with all its minor annoyances,
is still at least two orders of magnitude better than modest.
Thanks for your response, it is appreciated.

Only improvement is that it doesn't take 45 seconds to open now.
At least that made it bearable, I was about to toss the N900 because I was sick of waiting 45 secs for it to open a new email. Took less time to get the email to the phone from the sender than it did to read it.
But there is still so many things wrong with this mail client.
I dunno I am about to get a Desire HD and just use the N900 as a play toy because I can't be bothered with the email anymore.

[Bug 3888] IMAP-IDLE not working : Fixed in Harmattan.
Finally ...
I just wonder if it's done in Modest itself (so someone can make an Fremantle version out of it) or in a closed Nokia binary ?
I don't dare putting this question in Bugzilla, Andre would probably use his bazooka to tell me off for asking non-directly bug related questions...
Anyone has an idea ?
EDIT : He already did it with another guy

I am dissapointed as well with Modest. I looked into the source code folders (no, I am not a developer) and found indication that it is a hack of tinymail and that it's purpose is to be "modest".
That sounds like Notepad for LaTeX editing or Paint for drawing nice pictures. It is not enough !
I think there is a chance to change some things like Email filtering and something like "mark all messages read" but I have no clue how to do that and people who can seem to stuck with Meego now.
I don't know what to do

The email client is the elephant in the room issue for n900. It is hooribly slow, cannot copy paste unless you forward/reply it, there is no way to search/organize/tag emails, email push doesn't work for major email providers, etc...
When someone points these issues, (s)he is accused of having big inbox, not love for n900, etc...

Do you have programming capabilities econan? Do you know somenone of the maemo community that does have the ability ?
Is it possible to compile a new version of Modest without the help of Nokia ?

Has someone tested Kontact?
Maybe a good replacement once it's more polished.
