NO !!!
Sometimes when sending mail, the popup windows entitled "Sending
Messages - <mail-subject>" with
Status: Copy complete
Progress: [showing a never ending moving little green bar]
is visible.
The mail is well sent.
The copy of the mail in the "Sent" box is done.
This pop-up did on end ...
- What could we do with this "bug" ?
I believe that it happens when the SMTP server accepts the mail but doesn't
return a final status indicating it's done. It usually will complete if you
leave it for a bit, I'm moderately convinced that it's a server problem.
That's debatable. If what you say is true, the server is doing something which
the application is not dealing with, and it should. Leaving the dialog up there
forever (I once left it for a day, it was clear it was never going to go away
on its own) is not the answer.
I don't see it on most of my mail, where the mail server is my own, and doesn't
hang. I see it on remote mail (and news) servers, and when it finally completes
there's a bump in network usage about the right size for a completion message
and socket teardown.
Given that your dialog eventually goes away on its own, perhaps it's a different
problem?
I've seen this on my own, local SMTP server. This lives on my local network. My
network is never very busy. Of course, this doesn't mean that it's not a timeout
of some kind, but it seems unlikely. It's happened to me several times, and
there
has never been anything going on at the time that made me think it may be a
resource issue.
Let me restate that, I have never seen it on a non-Windows server, although the
server at one ISP (Linux) does bog down for minutes because they can't add
memory and get into swap. That doesn't mean there isn't a SM bug, but may be a
clue about what triggers it.
