No. Of course no. Modest plugin and corresponding camel provider are responsible only for integration with email. Very thin layer. There are also protocol library (which I am dreaming to open source), storage library and as-daemon.

Hi Vitaly,
I understand that you make a destinction between MfE for Symbian and MfE for Maemo.
As a customer - I use the simple "both are Nokia machines". And since I used E series phones for many years and always found them very reliable. I was expecting the same and more from Maemo / N900.
And true. The phone brings a lot of wonderful functions and works really really well. Except for the MfE. Which is disappointing. And which is why people make the comparison. By using earlier Nokia phones with good synchronization (with Exchange) they've come to expect the same from the N900 ...
Regards,
Jan-Paul

I know, well let's hope that you will get MfE to level customers had all reason to expect.

ok - yes: when I go into the outgoing folder and click "Send and Receive" it's send out. But not if I choose the option "Send on next sync" and sync manually.

OK. Let us agree on the following - I will discuss this in depth with our responsible guys after 7, Jan. When all the people will comeback from "short" winter "holidays" which are going to start soon.
If anybody can bring here new ideas WHY open-sourcing of these components is good for Nokia business, I would be very thankful.

Just small comment. N900 does not have java and MMS inside. Nobody cares.
N900 has MfE inside. With limited functionality (compared with other Nokia phones). Everybody cares.
Don't take this comment as an attempt to defense. Just side comment.

With current specs, most corporate customers (including me) thought it would offer the same functionality as current Mail for Exchange for Symbian devices.
