I am having similar problems, but to add to the lag and frustration I have been prompted through the email setup wizard on several occasions now. Nokia Messaging seems to uninstall itself on my N900 and then I am back to square one. It's happened 3 times now.

Guys this thread is really confusing. are your problems related to MfE or Nokia messaging or generic IMAP setup. Please indicate and I will try and help you sort out your problems. I am writting the N900 email wiki page http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Email_Options

and it appear to me a lot of people are not setting up their emails correctly cause they are confused like this thread about which option is which.

There is a bug in Modest in dealing with large inboxes. The Hildon list widget is not multi threaded so it goes away while it deals with updates. There is a workaround for the next release.

My problems are in Nokia Messaging and are VERY frustrating. I got my N900 about a week ago, instantly set up NM and had no problems for several days. Other than only having access to a few days worth of emails, I was pleased with the interface.

Starting yesterday, it has been on the fritz. It first started by "uninstalling" itself and when I tried to access NM I had to go through the setup wizard again. NM has not been the same since. I reinstalled it under the correct settings--now I have lags of several minutes to access inboxes, unpredictable pushing of email (often pushing the same email several times and getting lots of notifications for the same email), has uninstalled itself a couple of times again--basically the program is now unusable.

I have tried deleting and reinstalling on the phone. I have tried deleting and adding accounts again on email.nokia.com. Any ideas? I haven't installed anything new on the phone in days so I don't think it is on my end.

You need to clean your inboxes if you want more speed with this firmware version.

I get around 700 messages per month (and no spam, so I need to archive them all) and usually keep all messages from one year in the inbox. I had around 7000 messages from 2009 and that was way too much for the N900. I cleaned it down to one month and that made a big difference.

Now it's getting slow again, since it's about a month since I cleaned
