Well, I had great hope for modest, but, besides not implementing a good imap model (unfortunately most mail programs, modest included, implement imap as a glorified pop), it simply cannot cope with large folders (waiting 10 minutes to enter a folder with 30000 messages, after waiting an hour for the initial headers dowload, isn't my kind of fun).
Anybody interested in hildonizing mulberry?

The developer FREQUENTLY tests folder sizes upwards of 10,000 messages. All his screenshots demonstrating new features include folders of 30,000 messages.
I suspect that if you're experiencing problems it's probably a bug specific to your setup. I know that I've run into stability problems in combination with Lotus Notes IMAP servers, but that's more likely Lotus Notes' fault, since they don't seem to be able to adhere to any standard.

i guess im the only person in the world that doesnt keep all his email...lol i typically delete msgs as i read them , the thing i like best about modest is the inbox view where it lets me see the subject and sender without it being cutoff like in the standard client

So... I'm still wondering. If this installs as E-mail, how do you remove the prior version?
So far, I'm impressed with it's IMAP implementation - read: it works - and I want to remove the other mail... because I'll honestly never use it.

My only complaint about modest currently is that it does not render remote images, otherwise than that it is a great improvement on the built-in client. I would like to know when this will be fixed/implemented as this will make it a great client.
