In order to make gdb work in sbox you have to do a little trick (it's already documented in Maemo wiki BTW I don't remember exactly where). You have to define an this environment variable: SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/gdb and then just run run-standalone /usr/bin/gdb modest don't forget to pass the "-s" parameter to modest inside gdb <gdb> run -s In order to avoid all this mess I just have in my .bashrc this alias gdb='SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/gdb run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/gdb' so I just need to do "gdb /usr/bin/modest" and everything works as expected > As for what I'm trying to achieve... > > I want to synchronise folders for offline reading.

That's right, you just need to get the TnyFolder instance, use the get_headers_async function to retrieve the headers, and perform a get_header_async over every header. Remember to *always* use the asynchronous functions as the synchronous ones are deprecated.
