any news/feedback about a partial provisioning support in Maemo?
I am not Maemo spokesman I can only confirm that the feedback I have received here about the need of this feature was delivered to the organization.

I agree with you. But it is not an easy job to do. E.g., S60 has encrypted filesystem, Maemo does not. S60 has alphanumeric lock code, Maemo does not. And this is not about MfE per se. This is about platform modifications.
1. One of my folders has a "/" in its name. Modest does not like this. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have trouble viewing e-mails in it as long as I catch the notification.
2. Desktop widget???? My E51 only showed the two most recent e-mails, which wasn't great, but at least that made it easy to see if I had new messages.
Very good idea. Could be implemented by the community, by the way. Modest is open-sourced...

Modest-specific.
[Personal opinion begins]
I open mail application only once - during the device start-up. N900 is good with multitasking. That's why I prefer to keep the modest opened all the time. So, the idea is good but sounds like a minor improvement for me.

Yep. Missed modest feature. Modest is open-sourced product, by the way...

Feature request for modest. But I can suggest workaround(s):
Rename the most-used subfolder in such a way that it will be the very first in the list
Disable synchronization of subfolders which you don't want to see using mfefolders application which is accessible in extras-devel repository
Hi Vitaly,
a little late, but anyway: Happy New Year!
I haven't checked this thread since some days before christmas (and haven't read the postings since), but do get the impression the MfE-update is not just around the corner, right?
On some other thread there's rumours that a complete FW-update is due somewhere in Q1 2010. Will there be a separate MfE-update or would that be included in the overall one? Just to get a rough roadmap in terms of needing to check this thread the coming weeks;-) THX and have a good one,
TOM
if there's a way to stop it from giving notifications for my Exchange account's junk e-mail folder. I really don't know need pop-ups on the screen telling me where I can get Viagra...at least not yet
You can disable notifications using E-Mail client Parameters screen. The other option is to use mfefolders application developed by THavoc. It allows you to disable sync of the specific folder(s). It is accessible in extras-devel repository.
That's another one I was curious about. I have several folder decidated to automated responses that show up on the system. I work in a pretty large office and would love it if my phone didn't alert me everytime someone locked themselves out
Looks like another use case for mfefolders application developed by thavoc. It allows you to select the folders which you want to sync to the device. Available in extras-devel repository. Keep in mind - this is community application, not Nokia. And it is very fresh!
If it's only a Modest issue, but the folder is otherwise synced, there's an app called MfEfolders (in extras-devel) which can locally rename the synched folders.
BTW, where is the repository/development page for mfefolders? Want to contribute and translate the UI into my mother tongue. At least. Never been a python programmer, but I hope my Tcl/Tk and perl skills will help me a little
