Comment 9 for bug 723282

Hello all,

I'm running Ubuntu natty alpha 3 (with all updates until today), and postler work after a very easy hack ;)
I have modified the postler/postler-accounts.vala file like this:

$ bzr diff

         { null, Gtk.STOCK_DIRECTORY, null, null, 0, FolderType.GENERIC, 7 }
     };

In short words, I have replaced all collection.length by 0 on the 5th position, and now compilation and installation work.
I have try to use Postler, and it work with my Yahoo account.

I've never used vala, and I did it quickly without searching what's the goal of those .length, but without it works!

I hope this will help you to test postler ;)
