GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 738421
Cannot cancel SMTP authentication
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:04:26 UTC
I was on a crappy airport lounge network and for some reason sending mail failed. It just says 'Sending message'. I hit cancel and now it says 'Sending message (cancelling).'. It's been hours now. The TCP connection was in CLOSE_WAIT for a while but it's utterly dead now. And my mail window is still there, failing to cancel an operation that's already failed.

$4 = {cancelled = 1, cancelled_running = 0, cancelled_running_waiting = 0, fd_refcount = 0, wakeup = 0x0} (gdb)
It wasn't the airport network; even after I got to my destination and tried again, it was still getting stuck like this.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
