I came from the Linux world, but had to instead install "sysklogd". I didn't have to reboot the N900 after executing "apt-get install sysklogd".

Same in here. I really cannot use the phone before the new update. I need the MfE for my work so this is a showstopper!

Waiting the update..

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 see that provisioning is partially (not full) supported in S60 and it would be nice to have the same partial implementation in Maemo.

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.

I am not a marketing guy, sorry. Can not answer this question.

Personally, I miss this feature a lot.

Yes. Modest bug.

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...

3. So I click the @, and I'm shown "Mail For Exchange", and I have to select that every time, even though it's my only account. That might be slightly useful, if it didn't think when it was last updated was more important to tell me than if there are new/unread messages (Hint: it's not).

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.
[Personal opinion ends]

4. My account is configured to automatically move certain e-mails to subfolders. Once I've opened up my account, there's still no indication as to whether or not/how many unread e-mails there are. I have to scroll though the whole list to see if there is anything unread in my subfolders.

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

5. My most commonly used subfolder starts with "R". Since they are listed alphabetically, starting after all of the inbox/sent stuff, I need to scroll down through 4 pages of folders before I get to it. Reordering folders would be good, as would being able to hide folders or collapse sub-subfolders.

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

modest.

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.

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!

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
