what do i do , once uninstalled , to clean all traces of modest from the filesystem? and also... those that have gmail IMAP working , do you have the built in client set the same way , if at all.... trying to get some other details to try to track why im getting the cert. error

I just did a clean install and I get the cert error as well. It also doesn't check mail in the background and tendes to get locked up occasionally "receiving" to the point where I have to killall modest in a terminal.

So it's not just you.

you and i are having the exact same problem! mine doesnt check in the background either , and it also does the lock up thing occasaionally. any ideas on what causes this cert problem? are you by chance using macchanger to get more trials on the wayfinder app? i am and i was wondering if this had any effect on the certs?

edit: does using the rtcomm update have any effect do you think?

I am using rtcomm beta, but honestly neither should have an effect.

Failure in the background checking is probably because of the cert error. Getting stucks seems like a failure to recognize network changes... trying to check the source, but garage.maemo.org is being flakey again.

OMG a maemo site not working correctly??? NEVER!!! LOL

I get the same, background checking doesn't, and it sometimes hangs on receive. I don't have the rtcomm updates. Plus I can't send mail via my smtp server with tls; I think that is because I have a self-generated certificate.

Modest W15 is out, and the two most annoying bugs seem to be fixed:
1) No Internal Errors (yet)
2) Mail read in Modest is marked read on the Google IMAP server

Interestingly, after installing this version, I ran Modest and got a dialog about trying to connect to Google IMAP with an unauthorized? unknown? (I forget) certificate. I clicked on "yes" or "OK" or something and then it downloaded my e-mails. It also didn't start doing background checks until after that, too. It was only after I had cleared the dialog that I realized I should have written down what it said to report here.

The release notes for this version specifically say that they've fixed some background checking errors.

Interesting, I've tried to run Application manager 3 or 4 times and I'm still not seeing a -15 update. ( 8am EDT 4/9/08 ).

I have been running version 15 for three or four days and still receiving a couple of Internal Errors a day.

This happened to me too. But after accepting the message, everything worked as expected.

Tried w15 and it worked in the background will have to see if it hangs on receive now
