Original Redmine bug id: 6864
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6864
Searchable id: yorba-bug-6864
Original author: Jim Nelson
Original description:

This is a special-case of #5304, but it's worth writing up to be considered
when that effort begins.

Gmail SMTP rejects a message if it has over 98 email addresses. With current
Geary, the user is not notified and the message sits in the Outbox forever,
Geary retrying it over and over. Additionally, you cannot view the message
(#6575) or delete it (#6797). It has to be removed manually from the database.

Related issues:
related to geary - 6575: clicking outbox message causes error (Invalid)
related to geary - 6797: Cannot remove mail from outbox (Fixed)
related to geary - 5304: Alert the user when their SMTP connection has
failed (Open)

I'm cleaning up old bugs.

Mmmmh, 100 recipients.. Geary is not meant for sending bulk emails, I guess.
I won't even try to reproduce this.

Importance: Low?

People now can delete messages from the outbox, and we are now reporting when an error occurs when sending a message (Bug 713006), so I think the only thing left here is to report a better error, i.e. Bug 714053, so marking as a duplicate of that.
