GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 749618
Evolution 3.12.11 no longer send messages with attachments
Last modified: 2015-06-02 04:48:47 UTC
Hello, since the updated version ubuntu 15.04, messaging Evolution no longer sends messages with attachments. This problem exists or the creation of a new message, or transfer of a received email. Receiving emails work properly, messages filters also work, although spam appear in the corresponding folder. Until the release of Ubuntu 14.10 no problem. The server runs as smtp.free.fr with a machine under Windows 7 Live Mail 2012 sends and receives no problem. I can send attachments in .jpg format, .pps; .pdf until saturation (> 7 MBytes) of the recipient. Thank you for your help. Best regard. A. Rondonneau. PS: As indicated in the report of 748574 bug, I'll go to the 3.16.1.1 version for testing.
Hello, problem solved by compiling and installing version 3.16 of Evolution Sincerely. A. Rondonneau.
Thanks for a bug report. Was there any error messages shown, or what was the symptom that the message wasn't sent? I think of bug #749292 too.
Hello, there is no error message. Only send messages with attachments is not issued, but in the "Sent" it appears well validating a successful mailing. The only visual element, confirming a poor performance of the software "evolution": in the banner announcing "sending the message (xx% complete)", the display jumps ("done") without scrolling percentage. This bug does not exist in the installed version 3.16.2 from signaling bug. Sincerely. A. Rondonneau
Thanks for the update. I tried to reproduce this with Evolution 3.12.11, but no luck. I even cheated the code to set smaller timeout, but that only resulted in an error prompt after the message was uploaded to the server, thus no silent send confirmation, but no message being actually sent. Running evolution from a terminal as: $ CAMEL_DEBUG=smtp evolution and then sending the message, to see what it does, would help. I do not know if you still have a chance to test it, though. I also checked the SMTP code different between 3.12.11 and 3.16.2, and even there is some, then it is a minor one, at least from my point of view. The other related code could change more, even in the dependent libraries, like glib2 and/or glib-networking, which I suppose also changed when you updated to evolution 3.16.2. I'm aware of one change, it was done with the aforementioned timeouts on the connection, with which I'm updating bug #749292 right now.
According to further investigation in bug #749292 this has the same symptoms as that one, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 749292 ***
