[Evolution] always defer send mail

The problem is that evolution takes a long time before finding out that (if) a mail server is not available. 
In that time it is not possible to close Evo. Cancelling transmission typically makes Evo hang.

I'm trying to build master using jhbuild, but I'm hitting the below:


        Hi,
usual problem with jhbuild is that it doesn't cleanup the $PREFIX on
such changes, thus it let's you compile dependencies against old
versions in $PREFIX. Just cleanup your $PREFIX and build from scratch,
there is nothing wrong with the commit, as long as you use up-to-date
evolution and other dependencies of the changed package
(evolution-data-server in this case).

By the way, I'm not sure why you mention evolution-ews in the subject,
when the failed package was evolution itself. Not that it changes
anything from the above :) (that's OK, you probably only overlooked the
compile error place).

Is it possible to always defer sending mail by placing it in the outbox

sending to other than the default servers is not allowed and evolution
attempts to send direct will always fail.


        Hi,
I second poc's answer, I only want to mention that there is no option to
change this behaviour, the composer window will always stay opened and
sends the message immediately.

I do not know whether there is any bug report for this, though if there
is, and if there will be enough demand, then this can be changed, more
or less easily.

Nonetheless, I second poc's answer, because I'm unsure how this change
may help you in your situation, because the only difference might be
that you postpone the message send on later, but still through the same
server as you have configured in your account settings.
        Bye,

Some guides and forum entries mention evolution support for maildir used
as server type (from ~2010). I can't find this in 3.8.4 and no
information on the website. Has it been supported in earlier versions
(and thus the current version a regression)?


Not entirely sure what you are asking, but Maildir format is what is
used for Evolution's local mailstore for quite a while now (since
2.28?).  For a long time before that there has been support for Maildir
in the form of a "Server" type of "Maildir-format mail directories" and
that option is still there.  Do you not see that in the drop down
"Server Type" list?

        Hi,
"support for maildir used as server type", I guess you mean by that that
it uses maildir as its storage for locally stored mails (under On This
Computer) instead of mbox format, which is still true.

I do not know what you are trying to achieve, but this is done by
default, not influenced by a user.

You can open any maildir folder in evolution by creating a new account
of type "Maildir-format mail directories", and point it to that
particular folder.
        Bye,
        Milan
