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

[Ken Kilgore <kkilgore wt net>]

I am seeing the same problem.  I am also using an exchange server.  What I see is that after starting evolution I am able to send one email fine.  Either from compose, reply or forward.  The second email I attempt to send get the same error message.  I also press OK and the window is still up.  I press send again and it looks like it gets sent.  In addition to this if I attemtp to send any other emails they all look like they got sent fine but now one is receiving them.  Stopping and restarting evolution only recovers the first email with the broken pipe error message.

Hope this helps,
