Description Patrick OCallaghan 2004-04-05 19:00:41 UTC 
Description of Problem:
The Send/Receive button tries to contact all
remote servers, and can take a long time or even
hang if some are not available.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Press Send/Receive
2. Watch one or more servers not respond
3. Chew carpet

Actual Results:
Evo may hang (Cancel doesn't always work)

Expected Results:
Would be nice to have selective updates. Most
other mailers support this. Even if Cancel was
reliable and Evo never hung, it would still be
nice since one often wants to check a specific
account and not wait for all of them.

How often does this happen? 
Standard behaviour
