It's actually perfectly possible, it's just not as easy as it should be, although it makes perfect sense considering Nokia's background.

I like Hildon, but they've either got to improve the bugginess of the built-in stuff, or get out of the way and either let the community fix things like Modest, or develop drop-in replacements that can be integrated.

I used to use a Palm Tungsten C. The native Palm email client was lacking, so I went with SnapperMail. It was very integrated, essentially with the palm providing fundamental services that made SnapperMail a very effective drop-in replacement.

Anyone is free to work on Modest. It's totally open source.

There seems little point in spending all the time and effort required to get to grips with the code (and tinymail, camel etc) only to be told that your patch goes against the design or (to get back on topic) that things will be done differently in Fremantle and your patch doesn't apply.

Is anyone else getting as annoyed by the constant "fixed in fremantle" comments on bugzilla?

They've promised to sell us these shirts, but they won't be available until the second half of 2010. The official word is that if we want these shirts sooner, the community needs to step up and provide them ourselves.

Hah ! That is easy... just buy some inkjet-printable decals, leech the logo and add the three words in heavy Gothic font, iron out... problem solved.
Tell you what... I'll take care of the T-shirts and have them ready when you guys roll out FremantleHE for the N8x0, 'kay ? :-)

(Sorry, have to painfully extend the metaphor. 
)
@fpp: We could just leech the logo, but that brings up the question of all sorts of legal issues. What we should do is replace the non-free parts of the logo with a free logo!
