Weeeellll... remember how we got here? I challenged your description of Nokia's marketing and you got all defensive and started to paint the picture of how you think Nokia conducts their business (E vs N series, etc) and went around town talking about the market.
(So much about not caring about brands and suchbut it's ok, we all are affected by the performance of these brands and platforms anyway. So, it's only natural.)
Defensive? If company likes to make products on outdated concept that differs entertainment,business, casual usages then it makes. Simple as that. Iīm not defending that choice Iīm just saying that maybe also consumer has some intelligence to see this kind of things.
I try to avoid on taking anyones "side". And lately I think that when ever I try to teach stuff to people they tend to think that I'm defending or agreeing on subject. Itīs not like that at all!
We could've saved so much time if the standard answer to Modest related inquiries here is a straight-shooting line like this.

btw.
Tinymail which is engine of modest (iirc) and modest also are open sourced. For some fck up reason no-one seems to be interested on fixing that ancient work of "demo" app.
ps.
Looks like someone has poked/voted bugs what I linked. Good job! Still itīs shame that end user have to even make this kind of bug reports and waste their time on having conversations about this.

ps: I've found that the best mentors and respected people in any circles (companies, groups, families, forums, etc) usually are the ones that don't 'teach' unless they're asked/requested to.
As you can see from that "lovely" wiki page in maemo.org about modest in offline not all people are like OP. Some people like to use their spare time on tweaking and learning simple things that should work out of box. There is no standard answer.

Itīs just total rip down when someone brakes down article to pieces and show how writer has not done background research enough and makes claims that are not true. On the other hand most of these comments are filtered :|

Hmm. There is point in there that people who tend to put their nose everywhere and give their opinions as facts are highly obnoxious. On the other hand I personally highly respect people who SAY something when you are trying to make point or having opinion. I just love when someone tries to teach me and we end up having debate about why should I do it like that and what are the fundamentals in the background.
I'm not against tweaking\hacking to further the capabilities of a gadget. What I am against is shipping an underdeveloped product and marketing it as fully bloomed goods.

IMO This is not place for discussions on Nokias failures in marketing of their devices.
As far as I can tell, the hardware of N900 was a finished product, but the OS (i.e. Maemo5) was not.
Surely, the 'raison d'etre' of this site is improving and maintaining the OS and part of that will involve discussing what the manufacturer should and should not have included in the original build and on subsequent updates. That will involve criticism of Nokia.
Whilst I agree that complaints should be addressed direct to Nokia, it is only human nature to seek public support on a site with the gravtas and specific content of Maemo.org.
I need complex device with Linux, but I do not want something for testing / learning, I want to use it.
That is simple. If nokia is selling internet tablets without working email (with proper manage IMAP connection) - do I need to make my own software? Ok, I will but I want such device for free.
