Description Matthew Barnes 2008-03-16 21:35:44 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.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2021-05-19 12:13:48 UTC
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.
