I do not like Modest using my removable memory card. Is there a way to change it so it uses my internal memory card?

@XL1200c :
I feel the same, but my solution is a rather ugly hack. I turned off the option to store mail in the external card and then sym-linked the internal /home/user/.modest folder to /media/mmc2/Modest. Doing this sort of thing takes away your rights to complain about bugs.

Just browsed a bit with gconf-editor and what do I see... 
Modest saves cleartext password in his config!
Come on, it's not nice to not have a usable PIM (can't send email with GPE addressbook, other PIMs lacks in other points, and so on...) with Nxxx tablet, but storing cleartext passwords on a mobile device isn't acceptable!

PS:
What's also not nice in Modest: at fullscreen, there is no close button in mail view to go back to the listing view.

It bugs me as well. I man how hard is it to use the mac address as a symmetric cypher?

The device needs to know the password so short of asking the user for a keychain-like password which is used to derive the decryption key, it's not going to be possible to store the password for a remote service (which it needs) on the device in a secure manner.
Having said that, there are a couple of simple things applications should consider doing when storing the passwords, and xoring the text with the MAC address + some application-specific number is simple enough to stop casual sniffing; even if it's not any more secure in any real way.
Cheers,
Andrew

I may be missing something obvious but is there a way to email a group of contacts all at once instead of checkboxing each contact one by one?
