I have installed modest and claws to see which one is best to suite my needs. I'd like to able to have this program of choice to be launched when I click on the "new message" notification box. Is it possible ? If so, how do I tell maemo so ?

Thank you.

I'd Be interested in the answer to this as well. Any way to uninstall the original mail client?

Just wait for Diablo. Trying to hack these in as a replacement to osso-email is likely to be a lot more trouble than its worth and all that work will be for naught in just a month or so.

So, an end of June release for Diablo then?

Who knows. I do know the OpenSSL just pushed it back at least a week.

As always, "it's done when it's done".

I wish it was already done after several OS

Do you mean that diablo allows to invoke the mail program you want (say, claws) as the default for new message and mailto: links?
That would be a good reason to try the unofficial update route

Nah, it just makes Modest the default.

Hum why can't we choose ? Modest is not perfect either and has flaws such as sudden crashes, ...

It's a shame that something already existing in Debian could not be inherited in a derivative Debian system...
