User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130329030856

Steps to reproduce:

In TX 17.0.5 in linux mint, I do have a working local network connection but WAN is bad, so the server can't be reached.


Actual results:

I get a message saying the server could not be reached (which is OK). But dismissing the message with OK (or close, I can't remember), the message is closed saved to my Sent folder.


Expected results:

The error message is OK, but the message should have been saved to Outbox to try sending it again later. Now I have to Edit as new and send again :D

All my accounts are imap. It seems "server could not be reached" causes the message to be saved to Sent mail.?
