This sounds great, but also too far from Maemo platform I'd say. More than a port, that would be a complete rewrite, don't you think ? Any attempts ?
In the meantime, I've been able to package mutt, offlineimap and msmtp as deb. I can retreive emails from my gmail account and send emails through this same account. offlineimap syncs between remote IMAP (imap.gmail.com) and a local maildir, both ways. mutt is used to access this local maildir. msmtp is used to send emails from mutt (couldn't make it work with mutt SMTP config).
Anyway this was quite complicated but at least I seem to have a beginning of reliable email program If only Modest Email client could access a maildir instead of mutt, there wouldn't be any sync problem anymore, as offlineimap can handle this and reliably.
sorry if I'm in the wrong threat. I'm not sure if I'm right but I found no more appropriate threat.
Since PR1.2 I don't recive any email. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the refreshing intervals or the internetconnection. Because manually refreshing also fails.
I also deleted my Email account and set up a new one, but nothing changed.
My settings are
imap (gmx - german provider)
internet connection is allway online
refreshing automatically, with any connection.
btw, is the mail client extensible? what about the calender?
i regularly sync with an exchange server at work and the integration is ATROCIOUS to say the least!!!
if these clients are extensible, it may be possible to write plugins to fix some of the shortcomings because writing a complete email client isn't a trivial task.
