Comment on Launchpad PPA for Modest 3.90 series (Gnome&Moblin port) by Saturn

Hi,

I hope the expanding to more platforms brings you more help and patches to improve the current version.
As already mentioned, the current version running on fremantle is quite dramatic with serious holes. Nevertheless, the improvements from the diablo versions are quite noticeable and thus I would like to congratulate you and urge you to continue the good work at the same time.

Thanks.

Does POP3 work properly? Can you finally select and copy email text? ‘Cause the way it is now, Modest 3.20 is barely usable.

I second that. Modest on Maemo shows a lot of promise, but it is not entirely useful today. Speed being the main issue and I agree that search is a must-have feature to add, although I would say that spell checking is even more important. But even if no features are added, just making it snappy would make it tremendously more appealing.

I really think modest in fremantle needs a lot more work. Its still rather slow for me on an imap accounts, it often does silly things like reload the entire list of mailboxes, takes a lot of time to load mailboxes (even after PR1.1, it can still take 15 seconds) and is missing crucial features like searching. I would like to see these things fixed properly in fremantle/harmattan before devs spend their time porting a phone/tablet-driven mail client to a netbook/desktop experience.

I pleased to hear this announcement!

But I wonder if you could move the git repository into gitorious, because I just can’t clone modest from maemo.org.

Hi Kevin. Currently you can build it using modest git, at https://git.maemo.org/projects/modest (these days the ssl certificate is broken unfortunately). You can also access my repository copy at gitorious http://gitorious.org/modest

If you want to test directly packages built for ubuntu karmic, I’ve set up a ppa: https://launchpad.net/~jdapena/+archive/modest where you can test modest packages for ubuntu (currently modest 3.90.2).
