To copy and paste use Ctrl+c and then Ctrl+v on the keypad, however if you are looking to copy text from an e-mail, *without* having to go through the annoyance of having to forward the e-mail in the first place, just hold shift, select the text, then you can copy the text and paste it where ever you like

I've searched for awhile regarding an email issue I'm having with my N900 but can't find anything so I'm going to post it here..

I have two POP email accounts setup with "update automatically" via "any connection" at 5 minute intervals but i never get emails except for when my N900 changes the data connection and (presumably) Modest does its initial send/receive. So I connect to say my WIFI, i get a bunch of emails, then nothing. It could be for hours until I leave the house and it connects to TMobile Internet and bam all my new emails show up, then once again, nothing until I connect/reconnect... Manual send/receive makes no difference and Modest say it's refreshing but the emails never show up until the connection is changed...

Any ideas???

thanks...

Exact same issue here, and I think a lot of people with identical setups have the same problem. I've only the one POP3 account (I have hotmail forward to gmail, and gmail forward to my ISP).

As much as I love diversity, and there's some really nice clients out there, I'd be happy to just have the Modest bugs fixed. Account checking interval should be something which is easily fixed... right? :-)

Actually, the manual has the full story:

Copy text from a mail message

1. Tap the message at the point from where you want to start copying.
2. Press and hold the shift key, and use the arrow keys to select text.
3. Press ctrl + C to copy the text, and ctrl + V to paste it to another location.
I don't like this method so much, though, as it is hiding basic functionality in a non-obvious way. To begin with, a character cursor needs to be shown after step 1 above - this would already have been enough for me to figure the rest.

The problem of choosing between scrolling the window and selecting text in order to copy/paste it is exactly the same situation as in PDF readers.

The current method could remain as a shortcut, but a toolbar button for toggling, as in all the PDF reades that everyone already knows, would avoid the need for actually requiring people to read the manual. There seems to be space available in the toolbar.

Are here any news about using mutt on the N900?


Since the new Firmware I miss the feature to sort my mails.

There is also a Bug Report: #10332 (please vote) - sadly, they considered it as WONTFIX (I guess we will have it at MeeGo again) - but voting doesn't hurt

Personally I have an e-mail for general use, and then I created a new one for the tablet only. I have then forwarded all the emails from my general, to my tablet-email. I love this solution myself.

so when you receive a meeting invitation, how do you view the date, time and location of the meeting before you accept the it?

Hmm, I wonder if it might compile out of the box in the Maemo5 SDK.

I don't know anything about packaging for Maemo (Debian), but I recompiled ssh with kerberos support on my n810, and just copied the necessary binaries over

Modest is such a disappointing mail client, compared to Claws-Mail, and other mobile mail clients, as much as I try to appreciate simplicity (errr... the lack of useful features) in Modest.

Last I checked, Claws-Mail on the n900 was missing a few plug-ins compared to the Chinook/Diablo versions, but you might want to check it out, if you've never looked at it before.

In any case, I just put a vote in for bug 10332.
