Latter was fixed in git already, for former I had to come up with some patches. I did make some performance improvements too, to reduce the time it takes to check for messages: original version checked 3 times in a row when send/receive button was pressed in headers window Now it does it only once.

The patched version, which is in attachment, is based on http://gitorious.org/modest/modest modest-3.4 branch. To install, copy this file to N900, become root and unpack it:

Code:

tar xzf modest-3.4.2-baxyp-1.tar.gz  -C /

This will overwrite /usr/bin/modest.launch and /usr/lib/camel-lite-1.2/camel-providers/libcamelpop3.so. Reboot your phone.

To uninstall, just reinstall modest and libcamelpop3 from PR1.2:

Code:

apt-get --reinstall install libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 modest

I have tested it with my POP3 and gmail accounts and it seems to be working fine, but I cannot give any guarantees, use at your own risk.

Hey, do you think it would be possible to place a limit on the size of downloaded messages? Example:
1) Define limit is x KB or unlimited in a config file
2) When listing email messages in pop3, modest skip those emails that exceed allowed size.

It doesn't sound like an impossible idea... :-)
