Great day for Modest, in which it became the official email client of the Maemo platform. After a lot of months of hard work, I’m very proud of people that worked with me in this amazing project. Use it, test it and tell us what you think Now I only have to convince Rufo to use it…
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 ...
A year ago more or less, I started to work on a project called Modest that aimed to become the e-mail client for Nokia Internet Tables like the N800/N810. Other people from Igalia joined the team later like Dape, Berto, Felipe, Javier or Juanjo, and some of them are still working on the project. And yesterday the first Modest beta release was announced. I’d like to thank all of them for their effort and their commitment. More or less at the same time I began to contribute to the Tinymail project leaded by the unique Philip van Hoof. Thank you Philip for providing us the APIs we wanted, for reviewing our patches and for your long e-mails plenty full of decorators, bodystructures, IMAP IDLEs and so on ;-) ...
