Modest ready to try...
 
Looks like Modest is ready to be tried out: http://tinymail.org/trac/tinymail/wiki/BuildingModest


Did anyone give it a shot yet ?

Yes.
I have some screenshots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yerga/tags/modest/

Some question? :)

Yeah, would you mind building a deb ? :)

Yeah deb would be nice. Does it replace completely crappy default client?

No, but it will when finished.

Just gave this a try on the N800 with beta OS08 :eek: Its so much nicer to use than the default client. I plugged in my imap gmail account and it sucked down 3000 headers in an instant. I can't wait to use this with the hardware keyboard of the N810 (which I will pick up for xmas) , in fact its so much of an improvement that I think Nokia dropped the ball in not getting this product shined up in time for the N810/Os2008 release.

Good good good, I had just started to build tinymail+modest myself just before this announcment, exactly for the purpose of imap'ing with gmail (can't get claws to do that for me, with gmail as a second account). Didn't complete the project yet, but now I have something to look forward to.

Agreed and it was the original intention - to make Modest the default e-mail app in IT2008, but they just ran out of time. A future version of IT2008 or IT2009 will have it as default. In the meantime, we're supposed to get a public beta (similar to the Microb betas) around December.

Can you explain more? Others have said that Claws Mail works perfectly.

Claws is an amazing, feature-rich email client. But, most IT users will prefer not to install extra, third-party apps and use whatever comes embedded in the IT OS. Likewise, embedded apps have the benefit of being "services" rather than "applications" (i.e., you don't have to launch, you just do/use).
