34070 - Mail appears to hang upon sending large messages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32222

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P2)

Description

[kmurray1115]

Description: Mail appears to hang upon sending large messages, in cases where 
there is a large file attachment. Compose window disappears on send, which is a 
good behavior, but when sending large attachments, the app apperas to "hang." 
although it is processing the sending of the large message.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mail
2. Press "New Message"
3. Compose new message and attache large file (i.e., ppt file)
4. Press "Send"

Compose window disappears immediately, but app apears to hang in this position 
while message is being sent.

Marking confirmed, setting to P2 and M15.  This is an important bug to fix
because of the user impact.

I make this bug public as it's not confidential!

Jeff or Rich, do you want to take care of this?

Which build are you using?

If bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28348 gets addressed, it may 
make the user experience better.

Mass moving to M16 to get these off the M15 radar.  Please let me know if this
is really an M15 stopper.

Comment 7

[selmer (gone)]

Mass moving M16 to M17 - look for nsbeta2 before anything else.

Verifying as duplicate of bug 32222. 
'Send mail and duplicate in Sent should happen asnchronously'
(Users cannot do anything when sending big attachment over slow momdem..)
However bug 32222 has an awkward summary.
Will suggest it be altered.
