Distribution/Version: SuSE Linux 10

1. When you click on Send/Receive in evolution client window the Send/Receive
dialog comes up with each of the accounts having one "cancel" button.
2. Also the dialog has Cancel All at the bottom.
3. I think when a user clicks on "Cancel All" the Send/Receive dialog should be
closed otherwise a user has to do it by clicking on the X on the right top corner.

This is a _very_ serious bug, not an enhancement.
It pretty much renders Evolution useless, as the non-closing
window is just a symptom of the fact that sending (or receiving)
hanged, and there's nothing you can do to recover it short
of rebooting (or if you know what you're doing going about and
kill(1)-ing evolution processes).

This is turning up to be a very serious problem:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208227
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208724

Details: when clicking the "Check mail" button, the sending task
blocks (I have an IMAP account, a local one, and the SMTP one),
and Cancel will not do anything as already explained. 
The only way to kill the window is via the X window button,
but once this happens the task remains hanged forever meaning
that (1) you can no longer send any mail, and (2) you can not
close Evolution, as it just hangs completely during shutdown.

Here is a backtrace of such a hang:

I use evolution 2.8 and when i click on "Cancel ALL", it really closes the dialog. In other words, this bug doesn't affect me. I have only POP3 accounts, none IMAP. Maybe this?
Comment 6 Akhil Laddha 2010-07-07 11:16:41 UTC 
Even if i don't have any account enabled and click on send/ receive, i cann't close send/receive window by clicking on cancel all.
Comment 7 Milan Crha 2016-05-11 17:53:05 UTC 
This is obsolete these days, as far as I know (and tested). I'm closing this as such.
