The 'unknown certificate' error/prompts - it's been mentioned alot, I've posted about them myself in the past - however I don't thhink I've ever seen an explanation. I'm wondering if this is an issue with modest or is it something with Gmail (imap) that's causing the problems?

The trouble has come and gone over the months. The latesstt modest had seemed to be working great for, what was it?.... weeks I guess, since it came out. Then suddenly midday yesterday I started getting hit with 3 prompts (for 3 imap accts) wheen launching modest. This was an unprovoked attack <grin> I installed/changed nothing leading up to this. Tthis morning I upgraded to the new version of modest, just released, but with same results.

So anyway, I'm wondering if there's something that I can be doing to prevent this, or if it's been established that the problem lies within modest or, as I'm suspecting: it's gmail that's fouling up.

Tia for any thoughts/insight.

Here's a little script to automate the removal of your current version of Modest. I would recommend using this (or something very similar) every time you upgrade or downgrade Modest, that way you don't inherit problems from previously installed versions.

WARNING: IF YOU USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN IMAP (LIKE POP3) THIS WILL DELETE YOUR E-MAIL!

Paste this into a text file (named something like "modest-remove"), then as root, "chmod +x modest-remove"

Remember, you have to run this script as root.

Can someone who has had problems with Internal Errors, e-mails not marked "read" on the server, etc. comment about the new version 19? I'd like to upgrade to a version that improves on version 10.

2008-W19 release-note says "a couple of rare hangs / crashes fixed". That's all.

So far everything works OK with my POP and IMAP Gmail accounts. But W18 worked exactly like W10 to me.

Qole: I have only had it installed for about 30 minutes, but so far W19 is looking good. No internal error yet, the LED is working for mail alerts, and it has set the message read on the server in my test. I will post here if any of that changes.

I just updated to 19. Read status is *STILL* not transmitted correctly. Gmail cert is still barfed on ( I'm presuming that also means that background checking is out as well ).

The only thing still bothers me and I cannot find reported as a bug is the fact that in spite of having my Gmail POP account set to automatically retrieve messages and attachments, Modest downloads just the headers for a lot of e-mails.

If after receiving the LED announcement I try to read my e-mails offline, I will have luck with some of them. The rest will popup a window telling me that the content must be retrieved first (by going online).

W19 seems to be working fine here.

Modest just crashed my hildon-desktop, but still managed to notify me of the email correctly, and still marked it read on the server correctly. Still no internal error, either.

I have just received my first Internal Error with W-19.
