I looked in init.d for modest, but couldn't find where it was started. Any idea how I can stop it from loading?
Code:
apt-get remove modest

I've tried
sudo killall modest
sudo start-stop-daemon --stop --name modest
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/modest/accounts/AccountID/enabled False
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/modest/auto_update False
sudo dsmetool -k /usr/bin/modest
It keeps coming back after 1 minute.
It's a stubborn little bugger.

It isn't modest that is stubborn ; rather watchdog who resurrects it.
Two options ; remove modest or go to R & D modest and disable watchdog.

Also, does anyone know the file so that I can have more options on how often it updates?
The shortest available is 5 minutes which is too long for me.

I'm not sure if Maemo 4 2008 has watchdog.
