---- Reported by jim@yorba.org 2013-04-25 11:20:00 -0700 ---- 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) ---- Additional Comments From geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-09-04 12:41:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Jim Nelson 6 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.4.0_ to _0.5.0_ #### #2 Updated by Jim Nelson 3 months ago * **Category** changed from _server-support_ to _outbox_ --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 20:26 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6864 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6864 Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary.

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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 714053 ***
