commit c0607f improves (but does not solve) this problem. When a message is sent the AccountSynchronizer will immediately schedule a re-sync with Sent Mail. When the new message is fetched, it will be added to the conversation automatically. There's still a delay, but it's much shorter and doesn't rely on background polling.
Hi, I'm using Geary 0.10.0 with Ubuntu 14.04.2 and a non-GMail account and witnessed the same issue: 1. Reply to an e-mail 2. Send the reply → my answer disappears from the screen (NOK) I waited a few minutes and my answer was not displayed in the view. Actually, in the meantime I even received a reply from my friend, so in the end it looks odd... Is there a plan to fix this issue? Thanks!
(In reply to Pierre Equoy from comment #4) > Is there a plan to fix this issue? Do you have "Save drafts to server" enabled in your Accounts dialog?
Yes I do.
Using 0.11.2-1~xenial1. I think this is an important issue to fix. Replies should immediately show in the thread. Perhaps mark them if sending is an issue later. I work around this by visiting "Sent Mail" and then toggling back to see my reply in the thread. Very sub-optimal.
Ken, what server are you using? Also GMail? The lag for me (on a Cyrus-based server) is typically only 5-10s, while this is clearly still too long, are you seeing something much longer than that?
Using dovecot-2.2. The lag for me is much longer than 15s.
Replies show up about 2 minutes after they send if I take no action.
(In reply to Ken Berland from comment #10) > Replies show up about 2 minutes after they send if I take no action. Okay, that's unusual. Can I please get you to open a new bug for this, so we can look into whether there is something specific going wrong there? This bug is about fixing the more general issue. Ta!
#775730 filed.
With a link bug 775730.
Solving this properly will probably involve keeping the draft hanging around the database and displaying that, then merging it when the server notifies us that it has appeared in the Sent folder. That would mean being able to merge messages based on Message-Id as well as RFC833 size and IMAP ordering, i.e. fixing Bug 750695, so marking as depending on that.
A 90% complete fix for this will should make it into 3.34 when that is released, so I'm closing this in favour of the equivalent gitlab issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/131
