Dear Maemo-Users, If you're using OS2008 (Chinook), you might be interested in the Modest email program (http://modest.garage.maemo.org) [ Scroll down for the install file (but please read this mail first!). ] We've been working on "Modest" for a while now, with great contributions from Igalia (http://www.igalia.com/news/modest), Philip Van Hoof (Tinymail), Openismus and others. And while it's not finished or bugfree yet, you might want to give it a try. We'll be blogging on Planet Maemo with news and updates. Some highlights: - the basics: POP/IMAP/SMTP (normal/secure); - IMAP folders support, and IMAP-IDLE ("push-email") - easy setup of new accounts - send and receive of rich text-emails - managing mail with your fingers - 100% open-source with a BSD-like license Some important notes: - modest will *not* replace the official e-mail program - it does have the same name/icon in the menus, so don't get confused! - modest uses English, regardless of your settings - modest works great with Gmail; don't forget to use 'user at gmail.com' as your username, not just 'user'. You can find an install file here: http://modest.garage.maemo.org/repos/modest-chinook.install This is for OS2008 (Chinook), and will *not* work on OS2007. It's b?ta release, not for production use, so use at your own risk! If you do, please let us know what you think of modest. Please refer to our webpage to see the various communication channels that are available -- thanks. Best wishes, The Modest Team.
