I had to "update" three or four times in a row for it to finally "see" a 2 hour old message on my gmail imap account.

Can anyone help me with the issue im having with modest? Everytime i open it it gives the errors shown on the included screenshots. Im using gmail imap , but it also does it with gmail pop.

I'm seriously starting to think that you're having problems with your router or you're using Privoxy - I know it turns cookies into session cookies, which was a major problem for me.

i am running privoxy actually. as well as adblock in the browser. ill uninstall privoxy and reinstall modest and give it a try.

no luck , uninstalled privoxy and reinstalled modest and still get the error.

I get the SSL error sending emails, but not checking. I do not have privoxy installed.

and as far as issues with the router goes i get the same error no matter what network i am connected to. but at home i use a 2wire dsl modem/router.

I've downgraded back to 10. I like the flashing light when I get mail. Nicer than the "Internal Error: E-mail closed" error box.

I have to do likewise it seems.

After a prolonged time, there are tons of the Internal Error messageboxes that I have to close out before I can get back to the desktop itself and other apps.

I am surprised that Modest is billed as the takeover email default email client for the OS2008. At the rate it is progressing (rather not), I dont see when it will become a full featured client.

W10 was the last working version for me, too.
In W11 the annoying "Internal Error: E-mail closed" popup did appear all the time. With W12 this is gone, but now IMAP is completely broken. At least IMAP with the "secure Connection" option "SSL (IMAP4S)".
