NAME
modest - The Modest Mail User Agent
SYNOPSIS
modest [showui]
DESCRIPTION
Modest is a graphical e-mail program, targetting resource-constrained
environments, such as older PCs and internet tablets. It aims to be
easy to use and provide a complete e-mail experience, while keeping the
resource usage at a modest level (by 2007 standards).
OPTIONS
showui To actually start with the UI, you have to provide the ’showui’
parameter to modest. Reason for this not being the default is to
allow for DBUS-activation of various services without showing
the UI.
ENVIRONMENT
MODEST_DEBUG The MODEST_DEBUG environment may contain any number of
’:’-separated strings to trigger certain debugging features:
abort-on-warning
Abort the program when any Gtk/Glib warning or error occurs.
This can be useful when running inside a debugger.
debug-code
Run various pieces of debug-only code in modest
log-actions
Log actions to the log file (not available yet)
debug-objects
Debug GObject usage (G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS)
debug-signals
Debug GSignal usage (G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS)
factory-settings
Return all the user-settings to the ’factory defaults’
EXIT CODES
Normally, modest will exit with 0 as its exit code. In case of any
error, the exit code will be non-zero.
FILES
~/.modest/cache
Modest e-mail cache.
~/.modest/local_folders
Root of the local folders hierarchy (in Maildir format)
