 After extensive testing

After even further testing I think I've narrowed it down even more.

There must be a saved (auto or manual) copy in the outbox when the
mail check takes place.

As I had my autosave set at 20 seconds this was pretty much a given
combo for me, but further testing and playing around seems to have
given me an optional work-around by setting the autosave feature out
of useful range.

Of course, I might lose a lot of work if something happens to my
message I'm editing and there's no save, but it may be better than
forgetting and having a message roosting in the outbox when I thought
it was sent.

Anyway, if any MAPI users have some spare time and would like to test
out my findings I'd appreciate any comments - if anyone can confirm
I'll submit a bug report.

Thanks,

Re: Exchange server - not auto sending w/ mail check.

Hello Nick,

 After extensive testing I can confirm the following:
 If while you're editing a message an auto mailcheck takes place, the
 message you're editing will just sit in the outbox and will not be
 sent. If you send the message before an autocheck happens the message
 will be properly sent.
 This is completely reproducible without fail for me.
 This is using MAPI protocol only. I've not noticed this with any other
 setting.
 I think it was Vili that first mentioned this, can anyone else using
 MAPI confirm?

It  was you, who said, that messages are not sent :) I just noticed it
and made link between not sending the mail and the mail check process.

Anyway:  I  DO confirm, that if I want to send a mail WHILE mail check
is  in  progress,  it is not sent, will be put into the Outbox. I dont
have  automatic  save  checked,  but I have Confirm immediate send
checked, so I have to click Yes, before a mail is really sent.

I set automatic mail check for 3 sec, and I hit the Yes, while it was
checking for incoming mails. My mail was put into the Outbox and never
sent...

I  think,  that  the  problem  is that when we try to send a mail, TB!
checks if MAPI connection is alive or not, and if yes (while it checks
for  new  mails),  it does not open a new connection for sending, so
it does not send the mail, just put into the Outbox. And as there is no
Combined delivery for MAPI, that mail will be a dud :)

Write a BT, I will support it.
