For Gmail IMAP, I have the following working settings in Modest under the Incoming tab:

Incoming Server (IMAP4)*: imap.gmail.com
Secure connection: SSL (IMAP4S)
Port: 993
Use Secure authentication: UNCHECKED

i changed my gmail to use IMAP , and put in the exact setting you specify , and i still get the ssl cert. error. i cant figure out what the deal is..... would somebody exporting their certificate and i put it on mine work???

just installed version 14-1.
guess what...internal error is back.

someone please: i'm running an imap configuration with serveral subfolders. claws-mail isn't really an alternativ for me. modest would be great what was the last working version for imap handling?
version 10,11 keeps crashing
version 12 doesn't collect my mails

what about a previous version - any suggestions?

oops...some typos

I just installed version 14-1 and apparently my "Internal Error" is gone.

What about you, Qole?

EDIT:

Well, I spoke to soon. "Internal Error" is back. But at least now I think I know what is going on:

I use Modest with two Gmail accounts. One POP and one IMAP. The POP account works well with the automatic updates. No problems at all. But the IMAP is the one causing the crash.

With version 11 I did not have the error messages, but I did not have the automatic updates messages for the IMAP account either. So now I disabled the IMAP account (I will check it with the browser) and will stay with version 14.

I hope in version 15 the problem with Gmail IMAP is finally solved.

With version W14, I have noticed that Modest gets far fewer "Internal Error" messages now. Almost entirely gone. No more clicking through a stack of 10 error dialogs in the morning, just the occasional error every couple of days.

Lucky you. My Gmail IMAP account started with the errors less than an hour after the upgrade. And every single incoming e-mail ended in an error.

Apparently there is no pattern, right?

I put version 14 and I no longer get the internal error dialog.

Well, I decided to try version 14 again. I have to say that I received only one "Internal Error" message in the last 24 hours. A nice improvement. But sometimes there are e-mails that do not trigger the automatic announcement.

Well! Version 14 is holding up quite nicely! It hasn't crashed or given me the internal error dialog for an entire week, now! I've "come back" to the Modest Beta app. However, I think I'll be a tad more hesitant about updates in the future.

Now....I have a feature question. I'm using imap. I have it set to download the entire message and attachments. My max size is 5000kB. Yet it STILL won't download the full message in my inbox. Every message gives me the "receiving" delay before opening. There is the menu to download the rest of the message, but it is grayed out when I have multiple messages selected. I have my Modest cache folder linked to my SDHC card, so I truly want to have it download the entire Inbox so that I may read it offline.

So: imap email ignores the "download entire message" option. Bug or Feature?

on that note, im using pop with headers only. but i just noticed that i could still read mails that i know are no longer on the server. still, they where downloaded with a older version. i have yet to test with the most recent.
