GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 695311
Cannot send mail, email address not filled
Last modified: 2013-08-09 15:43:28 UTC
Moving this from a downstream bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917900 Description of the problem: I get the error: The reported error was "Exchange server cannot send message as 'user@example.com', when the account was configured for address 'NULL' I was able to send e-mail doing the following: $ grep "^Email= *" .config/evolution/sources/* Which will return you the configuration file of the account. You then edit the Email= line and add 'user@example' into it and my mail would send. The account was configured from scratch, it was the very first e-mail account I added to evolution.
After investigation I'm able to reproduce this too, when I do _not_ click the Fetch URL button. The fields which are not part of the autodiscovery process should be prefilled, to make that part optional, or force the fetch URL being always clicked, but it feels suboptimal.
Created attachment 238253 [details] [review] Bug #695311 - Fill email address even when autodiscovery process is not called
Not sure if Milan would prefer to review these, but looks good to me.
Review of attachment 238253 [details] [review]: It works with one exception, if I fill my name and address, click Next, then realize I made a typo in the email address and return back, fix it and forth again, then the .source file will contain the old EMail, not the one with which I finished the wizard. It's OK to not change proposed host URL, it's there only to give a hint to a user, and is most often wrong anyway, but the email address is important and used on various places, thus should be handled differently.

Created attachment 238303 [details] [review] Keep email address updated in database
Review of attachment 238302 [details] [review]: OK, I see it's basically the initial patch, which you extended in the second patch
Review of attachment 238303 [details] [review]: Looks good, please commit both as one to master. Thanks.
