claws mail program
Morning one and all, I installed the CLAWS release yesterday and it seem to install perfectly with no error messages of missing libraris, but when i run it up, it does the loading screen at the top right but then nothing! Anything i need to do? I love my N800, but Nokia really dropped the ball by installing a third rate mail client on it. I mean IMAP that can't handle folders!!! At any rate, i have hope!!! thanks a -- Alan Williamson, CTO Blog-City Ltd w: http://www.blog-city.com/ b: http://alan.blog-city.com/ ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: claws mail program
Hi, Morning one and all, I installed the CLAWS release yesterday and it seem to install perfectly with no error messages of missing libraris, but when i run it up, it does the loading screen at the top right but then nothing! Anything i need to do? I have built the package and installed on my 770 with OS2007 hacker edition (I do not have a n800 ). It is possible that the requirements are not exactly the same with a true n800. Can you launch claws-mail in a xterm and say me the result of the command? To install xterm, add a new catalog in applications manager : Address : http://repository.maemo.org, distribution : bora and components : free non-free extras In application list, install osso-xterm. I love my N800, but Nokia really dropped the ball by installing a third rate mail client on it. I mean IMAP that can't handle folders!!! Claws-mail is wrote by a developpers team and ported by me (and Colin Leroy) to Maemo. Nokia did not do anything for that. If that does not go, it is my fault. But the question is why Nokia prefer write a new email client less powerful (not usable in fact) whereas others already exist. I have ported claws-mail to Maemo on 1 week. Nokia has developers more and better than me. It would have ported it easily. But I do not know all, there are perhaps other reasons. Jean-Luc Biord At any rate, i have hope!!! thanks a ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: claws mail program
Thank you for this information. JL, me, Jean-Luc Biord is the packager. It's alan who has the problem with his real n800. But if you have a real n800 too, it's an other problem, you are right. The result of launching in xterm will help I think. JL I have updated Claws mail to 2.9.0 and it is perfectly working on my n800. So far so good. Thus, if there's a problem, it may not be a Claws mail problem. This just to help restrict the set of problems that may cause Claws mail not to start up correctly on JL's n800.

But I do not know all, there are perhaps other reasons. osso-email is currently based on a (heavily) modified Sylpheed, but with broken requirements like enforcing wrong-styled quoting. Modest is a from-scratch email client based on TinyMail and Camel (the underpinnings of Evolution). I haven't yet looked at Modest, but from the screenshots it looks very similar to osso-email. Hopefully, however, the broken UI requirements have been revised. I think the problem here (from comments on maemo-developers) is that the maxim don't let developers set requirements or design UIs is only true for software the developers themselves don't use. *Everyone* uses email, and it's amazing that good programs can be modified so badly with poor design decisions.

If you have trouble getting core-dumps, just attach to the process with Gdb (after giving it the binary and making sure you have the debug symbol file packages installed). Note that Gdb buffers the keyboard, so if you press enter twice after typing cont, Gdb redos the cont when the process crashes and you get back to the Gdb prompt. As a result the debugged process disappears which is *very* annoying for bugs which are really hard to reproduce (it took a while before I understood on the first time why process exited instead I being able to get a backtrace from Gdb). Make very sure you don't press enter any extra times... - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Is it possible to change screen orientation with N800?
Hi, I was wondering wether it is possible to switch from landscape to portrait display mode with the default setup. If it needs customization to achieve this, which steps are needed? Finally, is it also possible to force the display to be always in portrait mode, without a normal user (not root) can change it? Thanks for your answers, any pointers are warmly welcome!

Re: Is it possible to change screen orientation with N800?
I was wondering wether it is possible to switch from landscape to portrait display mode with the default setup. FBReader can do this in fullscreen mode, there may or may not be other applications that are able to as well. It is not (yet) possible to do this globally, or for the main desktop screen. If I recall correctly, some of the infrastructure exists, and some enterprising developer could start work on the project (although I believe it's not trivial). Search the mailing lists for 'xrandr'.
