the thing that should not be

Just a short note: due to an unfortunate regression, Modest (version: W16 release) does not work with SSL/TLS, breaking providers such as Gmail. See bug 3084. The reason was that what we tested with, differs slightly with the Chinook environment, and so this one fell through the cracks. Mea culpa... Anyhow, the problem has been fixed. If you build things yourself, get the latest (tinymail and modest) and all will work fine. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to wait until Monday; unfortunately, we can't do anything before that.

Once more, apologies from the Modest team for the inconvenience.

It doesn't seem completely broken, at least it still works fine for me with Cyrus IMAP/TLS & Postfix STARTTLS.

is there ANY chance of a better UI for modest? such as the ability to see more than one account without having to go thru contortions on the menus?

otherwise i would use it

thnx
