Any time it's check with it's automagic background mode. Same here. It's every 5 minutes or so for me, but that's what I have my check interval set to.
As a temporary workaround, if you leave modest running you won't get the error messages.

I wasn't sure your post was in response to my question.

Is this documented anywhere? Using gconf to make changes such as this just seems 'counterintuitive', given that the gconf editor is not emphasized.

I had to revert back to the old version (Feb 29) manually, and now everything's fine again.
Qole,

As I have the same problems as the others here, could you pls explain me how to manually revert back to the older version?

Thanks in advance.

It's ugly and messy. I'll try.

1. Either go into red pill mode in Application manager or use "apt-get remove" as root. Remove the following packages (some may get removed when others are removed also):
  • modest
  • libtinymailui-gtk-1.0-0
  • libtinymailui-1.0-0
  • libtinymail-maemo-1.0-0 (removed with libtinymailui-gtk-1.0-0)
  • libtinymail-gnomevfs-1.0-0
  • libtinymail-1.0-0
  • libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 (removed with libtinymail-1.0-0)

2. I think you need to be in red pill mode for this. Go to the modest repository with your web browser, or, probably easier, use the links in the list below. If you use the repo, you need to install the Feb. 29th version of the following packages (click on the link and use "open"), and I think they need to be in this order. If a package insists on one of the other ones as a dependency, just install the dependency first.

If someone finds a problem with my instructions, my links or the install order, please tell me.

This will probably be obsoleted soon, when they release a fixed version. But if you can't wait for the update...

Guys, a reminder: make sure you file bugs (or vote for existing ones), otherwise the developers won't know about them:

What, don't they read these forums?

Also, I tried to create a bugzilla account, but I got this:

Software error:

DBD::mysql::db do failed: Access denied for user: 'maemobugs@10.5.7.11' to database 'maemobugs' at /usr/share/perl5/Bugzilla/DB/Mysql.pm line 196
Bugzilla:B::Mysql::bz_lock_tables('Bugzilla:B: :Mysql=HASH(0x8b63cd8)', 'profiles WRITE', 'groups READ', 'user_group_map WRITE', 'email_setting WRITE', 'tokens READ') called at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi line 72

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webhost@maemo.org), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
I have to say there is some irony in discovering a problem in a bugzilla implementation.

First, you need to have gconf-editor installed.

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2007/gconf-editor/

Then, fire it up (it installs under "Settings"), navigate to apps->modest->fetch_external_images.

Gconf-editor is kinda like regedit for the Windoze environment.

Ok, Modest does work with gmail... kinda.

1) Why do messages not get marked read by Modest, is there some trick?

2) Sometimes deleted mail gets deleted, most of the time it is gone from Modest, but still in my inbox if I check from another client.
