[modest] Email is acting up, please Help
 

Ok I have two email accounts on my N900

a Mobile Me and Verizon from my DSL.

I have used both these accounts on my various T-mobile sidekicks over the years with NO ISSUES ever.

My N900 is not happy with them?

When I open email on my N900 both accounts say last updated 1005 and 1009pm, they always say this time, this is the time of night I set up both accounts. So it always says this time, then it pauses, then it says NO ACCOUNTS, then it updates to the current time when the accounts were last updated????

Then When I try to use the accounts, they are slow, clunkly, constantly refreshing & pretty much unusable most of the time?

What am I doing wrong?

I deleted both accounts & set them up again.. still the same issue?

Thanks for the help :-D

Try setting up only one account, and then do a manual send & receive.

No, its no good

I deleted both, restarted, set up one, did it manual, set up the other. Seemed fine.. now its back to acting like it was when 1st set up, then it flashes now accounts, then brings the accounts up, reading my emails is aggrivatingly slow.. always stuck updating?

Anyone have anything?

I love the phone, but I miss the speed of my T-mobile sidekick checking email. This thing is painfully slow & buggy. I am very tech savy, not some kid. I have gone through everything I can think of. I do not want to sell my phone because i cannot check email on it?

Has to be something basic?

its never worked for me for 10 months!
tried every solution, angle, fix going

I guess a re-flash of the N900 is too extreme? So basically the N900 email app is garbage? Should I start looking for another phone?

I think you should try this patch, it fixed all my problems with Modest (before it I had problems with updating too).

Thanks

Little confused, do I unzip the file 1st? I downloaded the path and left it alone (did not unzip it) I put it in root (just drug it to the N900 folder right?) when I typed the code in the terminal it said (no such file?)

A little help please & thank you so much!

Yeah, I tried the patch, no luck, now it wont even send email, everything fails. I might be going back to my sidekick & thats pretty sad... this powerful nokia device cannot even out think my trusty T-mobile sidekick ^ do the most basic task of reading & sending emails? I am really at a loss?

I too miss the days of the push email on the sidekick and the IM on there was flawless if you ask me. Just hated the 6mb email inbox limit. But my email has not been sending since yesterday afternoon. My data was acting up til this morning now its seems to be working but my email is a no go. :(
