Our little babies

After a couple of weeks where I was really busy (FOSDEM included, BTW for those who don’t know me, I’m the blonde guy on the left) I finally managed yesterday to do the 0.0.8 pre-release of Tinymail. Read the announcement for a complete list of new features but I’d like to highlight these ones:

  • .NET bindings
  • Improved the cancellation support: cancel retrieval of messages, cancel retrieval of headers…
  • Error handling refactoring
  • Several bug fixes here and there (specially a very important one in the POP backend)

So, if you want to try the new features of tinymail just download the latest release of Modest. We didn’t release a new version last week because some of us were at FOSDEM, but you can now get the latest code. Things that you’d appreciate

  • Fixed some crashes here and there
  • Lots of tiny UI improvements: error messages, localization, performance
  • Improved the support for non-Latin emails (mainly Chinese support)
  • First partial implementation of an account setup dialog for the GNOME version

In general, people are telling us that Modest is becoming quite stable, so just try it and tell us what you think. Oh I forgot a couple of mandatory screenshots, this is how Modest looks like in my scratchbox

and the GNOME version as well

    Hi,

    the link to the modest-site in the phrase “[…] just download the latest release of Modest.”
    is broken. I guess, you forgot the http:// in front.

    Hi,

    How did you make your scratchbox install look like it was the real thing? All i get is ugly icons and not all menus…
