We're supposed to VOTE on these bugs?

This bug is merely annoying, once you realize that the message has
actually gotten sent. I see it 8 - 10 times in my average week.

But it's a REAL problem to people who haven't yet figured out that it's
actually harmless


To Jens:
It looks like 557007, But:
Those occurrences appear to be on an Apple Macintosh system.
Mine are on 64 bit Windows 7 ultimate.
So are people encountering it on various systems?
One of my occurrences was with 3 attachments ~40k + ~40k + 2010k,
and the copy progress bar got stuck at ~57%. So I don't know if the
file was sent. The other was a small ~4k text file which appeared
to have been sent (copy progress bar went to 100%, complete mess.
in sent folder)
Repeated tests sending to myself in both cases sent successfully.

To Bill:
But how does one know if the send did complete successfully
in cases other than sending a CC to oneself and retrieving
your copy of the mail from the remote mailbox?



I've experienced this as well, maybe once a week for six months or more, 
on Mandriva Linux or Win7Pro

I only know from long experience. When this first started happening I did the cc to 
myself routine for a while. After gaining some confidence, I just put those 
outgoing messages in a special folder so that I could follow up with the recipient if 
they didn't acknowledge my message. Then after hearing from many other users in this 
newsgroup that this was a harmless bug, I stopped taking any special precautions and have 
suffered no consequences.

I've seen this same problem on my various Windows XP machines, across several 
versions of Seamonkey, through 1.1n (where I'm stuck, eagerly awaiting an 
integral form manager replacement).

Sporadic problem sending messages. Alert window Sending Messages remains open.

2010-12-16 Thread Rostyslaw Lewyckyj

64 bit Windows 7 with SM 2.0.11 connected via DSL to ATT.
It seems to have started after the 2.0.11 update.
I have a POP mail account with Yahoo (where ever ATT sold us to)
and an IMAP account at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
I have now had this happen on both accounts.

Sending a message will put up a
 Sending Messages - With subject of the message alert box.
Inside the box is a line labeled Status: delivering message or
Status: Copy ... , a Progress: bar, and a Cancel button.

- The alert gets to Status: Copy complete with
the Progress: bar filling completely and indicating 100%

But the alert window doesn't terminate, i.e. close.

Checking the Sent folder shows the message is there,
seemingly complete.
Sending a test message to myself, seemingly has sent the message,
because It appears in server INbox, and I can download it as a
new message.
But the Sending Messages ... alert hangs around until I X close
or Cancel it!

Anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
What is likely causing the problem? and of more interest, HOW do I
repair the problem cause?
How do I determine that the message has in fact been sent completely
and successfully?

It needs to be fixed in the application. I'd guess there's no workaround.

Tough call. In Thunderbird the Activity Manager might show it, but 
SeaMonkey doesn't have that (yet). I'd assume (but haven't checked) that 
the message is only saved in the Sent folder if the actual sending was 
successful.

Actually, the number of votes doesn't really influence which bugs 
developers work on. Really important criteria (for actual bugs, 
excluding enhancements) are: Major feature broken, regression, data 
loss, security issue, ... that sort of things. In this case the bug is 
about MailNews, which means that there's a chance that it's also in 
Thunderbird which raises the chance that someone will work on it eventually.
