But it's not in the N900's options, so it still shouldn't do it, sorry.
In the end... It's completely ridiculous to have a smartphone that can't delete from the server unless you access the account from the web. It's an embarrassment really...
There are so many bugs in the email client it's staggering. Maybe report this one. When deleting email from Gmail's inbox it goes to "All" mail - from there you have to select "move" to get it to the trash - Once in trash you can finally delete it. In other words, "delete" in Gmail doesn't work. I won't go on that Bug website, I hate that place - if you are a member maybe you can report that bug.
Sorry for the misunderstanding... hoping in the future, with the right options, that bug turns into a usable feature!

On Maemo the "normal" (unprivileged) user is called user so therefore the home directory for this user is placed in /home/user...

Those directions were copied and pasted from ceroberts 75 off the Nokia Forum. Here is the link:
http://discussions.nokiausa.com/t5/M.../731938#M15913
Without him I could not have done this fix... so if he is wrong in any way - you need to post it on the above link...
I did get it done though... and was very grateful.
Thanks for clarifying what is correct - it's always nice to learn something

As long as You understood it he did a good job... That's what counts in the end...
He DID state it correct later on though:
The above is just another variant of what I mentioned earlier (and he uses the "Documents" (.documents)* folder instead of MyDocs in his example)...
* When You use the built-in File Manager it shows the folder as Documents but it's actual name (as show in Xterm or when mouting via Windows) is .documents ...
Pretty confusing. Don't know why they did it that way. The same goes for Images (.images), Sounds (.sounds) and Videos (.videos)...

Once again, thanks for explaining. I was in over my head with this fix being a Windows user.
Most of the time you just live with bugs - but no POP3 incoming email rendered my phone just short of useless...
I am very grateful for the fix - to anybody and everybody that contributed in any way!
Thanks,
Sandy

My “wish” for mail in the future – when my other smartphones pull mail from Yahoo they don’t make Yahoo’s server “unavailable” for about 4 minutes. The N900 does. Hopefully that will be fixed in the future…

It appears to be only POP3. I doesn't happen with Gmail... you can be in Gmail on the N900 actively using it, and at the same time, access Gmail via the web.
For POP3 the server "unavailable" is proving a trial if you are pulling that POP3 account onto other smartphones or Outlook... if you hit send/receive during the "black out" Outlook will give you an error message when it's being nice - and crash when it's not.
So I hope somebody looks into it...

i did put together a custom version of modest, to fix some bugs that pr1.2 introduced: Send/receive and email notifications not working with pop3 accounts and messages deleted from server regardless of "leave messages on server" setting.
Latter was fixed in git already, for former i had to come up with some patches. I did make some performance improvements too, to reduce the time it takes to check for messages: Original version checked 3 times in a row when send/receive button was pressed in headers window
The patched version, which is in attachment, is based on http://gitorious.org/modest/modest modest-3.4 branch. To install, copy this file to n900, become root and unpack it:
this will overwrite /usr/bin/modest.launch and /usr/lib/camel-lite-1.2/camel-providers/libcamelpop3.so. Reboot your phone.Code:tar xzf modest-3.4.2-baxyp-1.tar.gz -c /
To uninstall, just reinstall modest and libcamelpop3 from pr1.2:
i have tested it with my pop3 and gmail accounts and it seems to be working fine, but i cannot give any guarantees, use at your own risk.Code:apt-get --reinstall install libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 modest

I would very much like to see these fixed, too, but unfortunately, GPU drivers are closed source. And besides, broken vsync is not the only problem, real buffer swaps are missing too (emulated with blits).
This bug was disgust here.
Here is the bug report that I started about the problem.
If you read comment #2 you will see probably the best solution for most peoples requirments.
Nokia don't seem to be interested in following on with what seemed to be standard practice in most of there other emailing phones in giving you a choice of how to delete your mail.
