As a developer, I would love to get CSSU on every N900 because of Qt 4.7.4 (kudos to freemangodon). Unfortunately, If I add a dependence on my software to Qt 4.7.4 features (mainly QtQuick 1.1 and an usable opengl graphics system), that work would never reach extras repository. :/
We need to turn Maemo into a meritocracy, now it's a bureaucracy (and the administrator of the system, paid by Nokia is MIA).

BTW, the link http://mat.exon.name/modest/ is alive and working.

I don't care about people not willing to upgrade to CSSU or KP or BusyBox power...
To all the kind developers that are keeping this little bastard alive and kicking, please don't care about complaints or FUD, just code. We (a number of us in here at least) do really appreciate your effort and will support you in the best way everyone can.
Please don't get stalled in the many administration problems we are facing. There is no way to promote applications? just push them to devel, there is no way to add anew maintainer to CSSU-T, just open a new repo with a common user/password shared between all CSSU developers and call ir CSSU-D.
Move ahead, don't look to the past!

Modest does provide support for maildir.
My understanding of offlineIMAP is that it is a mail server program as well as a client. The changes to modest that were implemented would allow modest to be used as a client for that program.

It is indeed mattews_exon patch which is really just the ability to download full messages instead of just headers.

edit I took "offlineIMAP" at face value and assumed it was support for offlineIMAP

After reading through the thread in my last post it states that by default offline email is stored in opt. As one user pointed out their email was 1g which would definitively cause problems. I add a note to the wiki

Yeah, wow, now that I look at it, this patch (a) puts a non-human-readable button into your account settings, (b) doesn't actually download all your messages when you check it unless you do some magic by manually deleting your cache file, (c) can't be applied to individual accounts or folders -- it's either all or nothing, and (d) can cause serious harm to your machine because it downloads all the mail to the /opt directory.
I've checked, and this patch is actually in the "stable" branch of CSSU. I think maybe it should remain only in the "testing" branch, until it gets a little more loving -- in particular, some work to ensure that it doesn't fill up all the space in /opt, or for that matter, wherever it deposits the mail. (I'm not sure I'd be able to fit all the e-mail in my various folders onto my SD card, let alone the /opt directory...)

To answer post #1
I have installed it before, but I did before there was a stable version, reflashed the device a couple times since then and didn't bother to try for fear to break a dependable device..... thank you for reminding me of it... I am installing it again, I admit I have not looked at it close enough... will come back with impressions

After reading the above link I am not sure that it is support for offlineIMAP. Without knowing the date of that page and the buglink page is 404, what he is referring to. Do you have the offline button in your account settings unpatched modest?
Perhaps this is just full support for IMAP protocol? If it is idk why it would have been labeled "offline"
