Modest is a lightweight, fully-featured e-mail client optimized for hardware with limited resources, such as low-end pcs or mobile devices like the nokia n800/n810 internet tablets. it is built on top of tinymail, a framework for developing mobile applications with e-mail functionality, specially designed to be fast and resource saving. although the main target of modest are devices with low resources, it can be used as desktop e-mail client as well. this is possible because it was designed on top of both the maemo platform and the gnome mobile stack.

this packages provides the library wrapping for modest's d-bus interface.
