I don't quite follow "unattendedly queued to outbox", because as I understand and view things, when you click send, the message that was draft is then moved to outbox and a sending attempt is started asynchronously. That may succeed within a few minutes, or fail. I think you are ok with that, but are asking that when such a sending attempt fails, that the error is handled differently than it is now. Right now there is a "failed to send some messages" popup. Are you saying that this should be per message, and offer try again once try again indefinitely (and no not ask via popup again) move from outbox back to drafts delete or some similar set of options? I more or less view the MUA to submission MTA hop as conceptually similar to MTA to MTA hops, in that usually it works and occasionally it can take a while, so I don't particularly want the above choices. Part of that is because I can go into outbox and delete. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "K-9 Mail" group.
