messages off of the server. I've given up. Here is the solution and<br>
reasons. My only reason for posting this is to hopefully let the modest guys<br>
know how important this feature is. I plan on filling an enhancement<br>
request.<br>
<br>
1. I tried to just use modest leaving the messages on the server, then<br>
downloading them again on average about every three days on my home machine.<br>
I just got stand that I have to manage the messages a second time.<br>
<br>
2. Since my provider doesn't support imap I decided modest just isn't going to<br>
work. Claws mail has the same problem, no selective delete from server for<br>
POP3.<br>
<br>
3. So, now I am using my providers webmail interface on the nokia and just<br>
leaving it open all the time. The provider's interface allows an automatic<br>
refresh setting so the mail inbox is still "updated" on a regular basis.<br>
<br>
4. I don't get the flashing email light or lower left indication, bummer<br>
number 1.<br>
<br>
5. Modest STILL loads even though I have deleted all accounts, and turned off<br>
automatic check for mail. I checked the modest bug tracker and this is a<br>
reported bug. I'm so disgusted with Nokia for one for switching the email<br>
client and for whatever is causing modest to not only reload about every 5<br>
minutes but stay in memory even though I have no accounts setup and no auto<br>
retrieve setup. Major bummer #2<br>
<br>
6. So I tried the following. Remove the .modest user folder --> Modest<br>
recreates an empty structure everytime it reloads and it continues to reload<br>
if I kill it via the process list. Bummer #3<br>
<br>
7. I then set the rights to the .modest directory to 555 instead of 755<br>
using sudo. This changed modests behavior but still isn't great. Now modest<br>
will load the first time I connect to any wifi hotspot, but if I kill it in<br>
the process list it doesn't try to start again, which is atleast better than<br>
my 6 above.<br>
<br>
So basically not only is modest completely useless to me, it is now beyond<br>
that and annoying and a memory hog even thou I'm not even using it.<br>
<br>
If anyone knows of a third email client for the n810 that supports the delete<br>
off server selective option I'd love to know. I looked at the modest bug<br>
tracker and I don't think they will be fixing the reload bug anytime soon as<br>
everyone is still arguing over whether or not it is even a bug, It is and it<br>
is annoying<br>
<br>
So nokia/Modest teams can we have the old email back as an option. It<br>
actually worked. I feel that if the webmail interface doesn't work for me<br>
either I may reflash back to chinook for the forseeable future. That would<br>
be bummer #4 if I choose that option.<br>
