I very much hope, they always 'save' without asking - and allow (reasonably) unlimited undo, also across restarts. I would never expect an application to forget anything I entered unless I explicitly told it to.

The tech spec does mention IMAP support, so I wouldn't despair ... yet.

You can't set it manually, it uses whatever the server advertises in its NAMESPACE response (modulo bugs). What's your IMAP server software and what exactly do you want to do?

I presume Nokia's apps follow the Maemo Design Guidelines for State Saving and Auto Saving

That document states that applications are required to implement auto-saving.

Probably required if you want to get into the store (is Extras controlled by Nokia?)

Even then you could install applications that don't implement auto-saving from any souce.

But anyway, for applications like sketches it would be good if they did a check.. e.g. if they save as

defaultsketch.jpg, check for defaultsketch.jpg
if it exists then it saves as
defaultsketch2.jpg

Extras is controlled by the community. People from Nokia do make requests and recommendations as to how the maemo.org repository system should work, but they do so on an equal footing with others.

Yeah, but do you read it after you've written it ?

It does overwrite it.
Xournal doesn't

Uses a temporary autosave file.
