That's really cool!
Will the setting (caching or not) will be availlable to users?
Will it automatically cache every single mail, or can we set limits?

Thanks for the good job!!

Why the option is named "mcenfladvsetupofflinesync"? Why not "Offline IMAP sync"?

Well, from what I can tell, this offline imap sync patch is of the "quick and dirty" kind. Not only is that option not given a human-readable name, the patch also simply dumps all of your email into the "opt" directory. Without checking how much space is available. So, if you've got a lot of mail, you may end up filling the entire partition...

I have installed the "stable" CSSU 4.1. It should not include a patch of this kind if it is not 99% safe. And obviously, it should be correctly named. Currently it looks like a too early patch.

@ikerrg,

Treat all CSSU stuff as highly experimental. Stable vs Testing doesn't (in my opinion) mean anything.

My solution for offline IMAP is to use offlineimap to synchronize with my IMAP account (for now, gmail) as well as dovecot as local IMAP server. Modest only connects to this local server (address "127.0.0.1") so that e-mails are always available.

The only thing I yet have to solve is that:
(1) dovecot wakes up the CPU more than it should,
(2) modest doesn't show INBOX unless it detects you are connected. sort kills the idea of offline e-mail.

I use alpine instead of modest. Works perfectly.

Had two gmail accounts with offline support and my /home/user got 100% full.

Just a heads up for those, who like me, blindly, enabled offline IMAP support option in Modest and forgot

Can't you symlink /home/user/.modest/cache to a directory in MyDocs?

I was afraid of problems when connecting as Mass Storage.

Anyway, made myself some problems. Deleted user/.modest contents, now when I start "modest -s" and try to check email, I get Segmentation fault.

Account and all settings are there.

Maybe someone has an idea? Is it worth pursuing a bug or should I recreate accounts from scratch as described in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88219 ?
