[maemo-developers] Modest/TinyMail problems (continue from the blog comments)

[From: Andrea Grandi]

Hi all,

I continue here a discussion you can find in this post:
http://pvanhoof.be/blog/index.php/2008/06/24/big-day-for-modest-and-tinymail
(Just read the comments).

This is my idea: I don't want to be able to download 15.000+ messages.
I just want to download ONLY last 50, 100, 200 at maximum. Modest
doesn't behave in this way now. Even if you set the option "just
download ONLY 50 items". Maybe a bug? Don't know...

I think the minimum number of messages should be the default value,
then it should let the user keep a maximum of x messages (where x is a
value that user can choose). When 200th message arrives, just drop the
first one and so on... (just like a FIFO queue with a maximum number
of items). Sounds good my idea? I think that Modest could manage 200
messages quite good.

Please let me know what do you think about it.

Best regards,
