Any errors? Nothing much.. There are two boxes.. On the left it says 'SENDING "[WHATEVER MY MESSGE TITLE IS" (...)' and on the right it says 'Sending message (0% complete)' > > This mail problem is becoming very dangerous to my work..

The editor pops back up with missing > information?? Usually after 5 or so minutes a message will bounce back up to the screen with an error if it hasn't been sent.. Error while 'Sending "RE: Proposal"': DATA response error: message termination: Service not available, closing transmission channel: mail not sent However that isn't where the loss of data is occurring.. I'm loosing data as I have to exit from evolution (interrupting the send - as it just isn't going anywhere). When I boot back up Evolution is smart enough to know that it hasn't sent the messages, but I'm not sure exactly where it pulls out the last saved version from.. It certainly isn't from when I press send (though it is pretty close to then).. So I end up having to rewrite a paragraph a few times if I'm not so lucky.. (keeps getting shorter each time)..
Hello, This is a new error report after using the camel: sending : EHLO [192.168.1.21] received: 250-tomts25-srv.bellnexx.net received: 250-HELP received: 250-PIPELINING received: 250-DSN received: 250-8BITMIME This server supports 8bit MIME received: 250 SIZE 10485760 sending : MAIL FROM: <mike@openconpt.ca> received: 250 Sender <mike@openconpt.ca> Ok sending : RCPT TO: <jillybean150@hmail.com> EBook-Message: Use score for "jillean150@hotmail.com" is now 3.00000 received: 250 Recipient <jillybean0@hotmail.com> Ok sending : DATA received: 354 Ok Send data ending th <CRLF>.<CRLF> sending : \r\n.\r\n ... I'm still waiting for some other useful info, but so far haven't gotten any. It then checked the server for mail and then reported an error ... received: +OK POP3 calcutta1.flora.ca v2000.70rh server ready sending : CAPA received: +OK Capability list follows: received: TOP received: LOGIN-DELAY 180 received: UIDL received: STLS received: USER received: SASL LOGIN received: . sending : USER mike-pop received: +OK User name accepted, password please sending : PASS xxxx received: +OK Mailbox open, 0 messages sending : STAT received: +OK 0 0 sending : QUIT received: +OK Sayonara received: 421 tomts25-srv.bellnexxia.net Lost connection to [64.230.112.225] sending : QUIT ... The error message was: Error while 'Sending "RE: For Mom"; DATA response error: message termination: Service not available, closing transmission channel: mail not sent.
looks like a server error... instead of returning success when we send that \r\n.\r\n, it just fails.
I hear you that it is likely something messed up with their SMTP server. However, there are 60,000+ users using this SMTP server and I've talked to lots of their techies in the last two weeks. No similar reports of problems have been reported. They have no known problems that they know of or that interrupt the use of all of the users sending out in a windows platform... Also, there needs to be a better way to deal with smtp errors than evolution presently manages. If it doesn't succeed sending it should at some point time out and try again.. Finally a related point - evolution should save messages that are being edited every minute (like you do) AND also when it is sent (in case the sent fails and bugs up evolution).. this way I wouldn't be loosing the last minute of my email every time this happens. Mike ps. Really like evolution & Ximian.. This is the first major problem I've had since I started using it.. Wanted to support it and thus became a Red Carpet Express member.. I'm thinking of dropping my ISP, but don't think this should be required to use evolution.

messages are now first queued in Outbox before they get passed off to SMTP. that should cover parts 2 and 3 of your last argument. I continue to believe that point 1 is a server bug and not related to Evolution. But I can't tell for sure without some more info. tcpdump -s 1520 -w log that might help
Believe you're right about it being a server problems.. Thanks for looking at 2 & 3 for me. Mike
