Modest doesn't update one IMAP account anymore

Hi,

I have set up two IMAP accounts in modest (maemo5). Since I was in
england and had an connection error during roaming, one of the accounts
doesnt update anymore. It also doesn't show the contents of already
downloaded mails. The "newest" message is 4th nov. In evolution
everything works fine.

My question: How could I find more details about this behavior (logs,
debugging etc)

I'm not so much interested in a quick fix, because the account isn't
urgent. I just want to now what goes wrong, so I can file a bug report.

Or should I just write one.

Regards,

Keywan

I had some problems with Modest before as well, but looking at the
syslog (/var/log/syslog) helped me. If you don't have that file, you
might want to "apt-get install klogd sysklogd" and check the log when
Modest tries to connect.

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything useful,
because modest didn't send anything to syslog. Do I need to reboot the
device or something else? Or should modest just send messages their out
of the box?

I have also a question regarding syslog. Do I need to clean up syslogs
by my own or changing settings, so the root partition won't run full?

Regards,

Keywan

Moin,

http://wiki.maemo.org/Bugs:Stock_answers#Modest might also provide some
debugging hints.

You need to clean the logs yourself, but they should be rotated on
reboot, if they're too large.

NOTE: As syslog is run as root, it can fill the rootfs completely
(some space is reserved for root only). If that happens, the device
may not boot up and you need to reflash it.
-> I would run syslog only when directly debugging something
