Re: How to cache email for offline reading?

I have tried using dovecot on my N810, and the full story is here:

I don't wanna go back to that. Far, far too much pain.

Just to clarify the discussion of OfflineIMAP above, it won't work with Modest as an email client, you need to use Mutt in an xterm or some other mail program that supports Maildir as a local cache.

Would you happen to know if someone has already ported and packaged mutt and offlineimap? I've searched a lot and a few people have mentioned mutt and offlineimap on n900, but I just can't find any packages of them anywhere.

Hi,

I've just found this thread and wanted to mention I wrote a small tutorial about installing and configuring offlineimap, mutt and dovecot, trying to improve n900 modest email sync reliability. deb packages can be found as links at the end of this wiki page:

Careful: some packages were done really quick & dirty... (namely offlineimap)

see also this thread:

I hope to find enough time to clean packages and submit them to extras-devel, as it seems to be the best place for such files.

HIH
Cheers
