Re: N900 - Where is Modest configuration file and how to place a download limit there?
 

@tsa,

The stuff in /var/lib/gconf is supposed to be edited by using gconftool, not just editing things by hand. Think of the Windows registry. You just don't go around flipping bits here and there, but use the registry editor.

@xtv,

You'd need to change the /apps/modest/update_interval gconf entry.

*** UNTESTED ***

$ gconftool -s /apps/modest/update_interval -t int 30

That would set the update interval to 30min. Then you can use some DBUS magic to set that value depending on the connection type.

@tsa,

Same thing, but with /apps/modest/msg_size_limit (type is also 'int', not sure about scale (byte, kb, etc.)

Re: N900 - Where is Modest configuration file and how to place a download limit there?
 

Before I change the "msg_size_limit" value from "0", I was wondering whether the change you made worked for you?

One further question if this did work were the units in bytes?

Many thanks in advance

Sounds like a job for woodchuck. Perhaps someone will write a patch for it?
