Architecture
modest tries to be quite flexible in its
design. However, it's always important not to make things too
generic. Both for reasons of time limitations and keeping the software
understandable and 'modest', it's important to limit the scope.
For modest, the following:
modest is a e-mail program
using the tinymail and camel
libraries;
modest targets gtk and
gconf-based user-interfaces, including the Hildon
environment;
modest main use-case is in
small, mobile device such as the Nokia 770 Internet
Tablet;
However, effort is made also to
make modest usable as a general-purpose
e-mail client on normal desktop computer.
