GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 522832
Send & Receive Mail with NNTP account takes a long time
Last modified: 2021-05-19 12:13:48 UTC
Forwarding from a Fedora bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226811 Description of problem: The "Send & Receive Mail" dialog sticks around for several minutes (8 or so)--even if there's relatively little to do. This behavior appears to be triggered by using an NNTP account. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8.2.1-3.fc6 (also confirmed on 2.12) How reproducible: Consistently. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable an NNTP account in addition to a POP3 one. 2. Click the send/receive mail button. 3. Wait. Additional information: The problem appears confined to my GMANE account, where I'm subscribed to about 60 groups. I'm not sure if the problem would occur on any server where there are that many subscriptions; or if, instead, there is some problem particular to news.gmane.org. My 21 subscriptions on msnews.microsoft.com update in a matter of seconds. And Pan updates a similar number of Gmane groups in a matter of seconds.
Wondering if this still happens, or if this can be closed as OBSOLETE nowadays.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
