Point me please, this thread is 68 pages long.

Sometimes via MFE into gmail, N9 will occasionally show an email as unread even though it is read.

I have thread email ticked, read the email both on the N9 and via gmail in browser. Synced several times, and ticked "mark all as read".

Today I have three emails having this issue.

J.

My account was defiantly compromised as I was getting the bounce back emails from accounts that no longer existed and they were all from different contacts that were in my address book as well as a report from one of my contacts informing me that they had received spam from me.

reasons.
So I am unable to change passwords for any of my accounts via terminal?

I figured that the password file would store them encrypted but thought it was worth asking encase it wasn't.

I think the easyest solution is to use "normal sized" passwords
If someone could try 1 billion of passwords per second for your account, it would still take them more than 400 years in average to find a 10-character password (with all the characters availlable on qwerty keyboard and the shift key). for a 16-character password, it would take 500 billion times more attemps.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think adding 84 chars to that is necessary
If you want to go easy on the typing, a random 20-char a-zA-Z password is already stronger than the 16-char all characters password discussed above.

But where is the fun in that? :P

Point me request again.

I have three different from addresses that all run through my one google email account.

It would be wonderful to be able to specify any one of the three when composing an email on the 9.

Possible?

My N9 almost never connects to the Hotmail smtp sever and about 80% of the time when it tries to, it gives me an error and asks me to re-enter my password. Anyone have a solution?

I was reading today that there was a vulnerability in the Hotmail that was just patched. A simple search will give you plenty of results; here for starters:

Hi all,
sorry that I left thread for a quite long period of time, but I was a bit busy

Emm, yeah... This a Thread mode bug and IIRC it should be fixed in PR1.3.

well, you can configure 3 different accounts and send emails via different accounts (with appropriate 'from' address). Yes, it's not the best idea, but still better than nothing.

emm, probably this issue caused by vulnerability mentioned in comment 687.

So, I've asked colleagues about it and the answer is - no, you can't disable it. Also QMF devs asked me to thank you for pointing on this, so... Thank you!

Two questions I have around the email client.

1. I have noticed (perhaps after Pr1.2)) that there is now a limit on the size of attachments i can send via emali - which is 5MB.

2. When I send an email to an address not currently in my address book - is there an option (as in the N900) to save that email address as a new contact?

First one is more critical as sometimes you arent able to divide/break up the file and bluetooth isnt an option. I could use dropbox but why should i have to? my email client is configured to use my gmail account - which i think has a 20MB attachment limit?

Thank you

Yeah, that limitation was added due to a few issues when user tries to send an email with big attachment via servers that got a limit on the email's size (like 5MBs ). You can change this setting easily. To change it you should add a line 'maxAttachmentSize=xxx' (where xxx is a size in MBs IIRC) in a 'General' section of the file /home/user/.config/Nokia/Fenix.conf.

So, it should looks like:

[General]
maxAttachmentSize=20


NOTE: maybe you'll need to restart the Fenix to apply new setting, but IIRC it should work fine without restart.

You can open Sent Items, open the email that you sent, click on a header (top part of the message viewer screen where it shows subject, recipients, etc.), then click on the recipient (from To field) and click "Save".


P.S. I have a small question to all of you. Should I add some "easy config" mode in MeMailSettings to add the ability to change some Email/MfE settings (like attachment size, etc.)? Can't promise that I would have a lot of free time to implement it
