Re: [Evolution] emails not sent - no errors tho - but composer recovers after restarting evolution

["Glenn R. Kronschnabl" <grk netquotient com>]

This is happening often enough I think I need to open a bug in bugzilla.
This error manifests itself when I try to send an email using the send
button from the composer button.

I get the following error message:

Error while 'Sending "...":
RCPT TO response error: Broken pipe: mail not sent

I press ok

composer window is still up so I press send again

it looks like it gets sent (composer window disappears)
but instead the email just sits
wherever composer stores its "unsaved mails" and when you restart
evolution you are given a chance to recover unsaved mails.

IMHO this behaviour is misleading - don't you think?

This is using MS-Exchange as my SMTP server - note that this doesn't
happend everytime, i.e., some mail is sent just fine - but I think
once this error occurs, all new mail sent out just disappears into
the composer graveyard.
