505672 - "Send unsent messages" command doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: General, defect)

Description

[Francesco Riva]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090717 SeaMonkey/2.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090717 SeaMonkey/2.0b1

whenever I queue a message in a
POP3 Outbox folder (with CTRL+SHIFT+RETURN) and then try to use "send
unsent messages" from the menu bar of from the context menu, SM simply
sits there without doing nothing.

The SMTP server correctly works, because if I set SM to go offline and
again online, I'm asked to send the queued message and it is finally
sent. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new email account;
2. write a new message;
3. queue the message (CTRL+SHIFT+RETURN) so that it is displayed in the Outbox folder;
4. try to send the queued message by using the main menu or context menu "Send unsent messages" command.
Actual Results:  
Seamonkey does nothing. No error message and no sending of the email that stays in the outbox folder.

Expected Results:  
The queued message should be correctly sent.

I can reproduce this bug with different type of account (POP3, News) and on several SM build before and after Beta 2.

(2) Restart Mail&News, Cancel reply to dialog of "send or not main in outbox".
    Send unsent messages => Nothing happened. No error in Error Console. 
(3) Restart Mail&News, OK reply to dialog of "send or not main in outbox".
    => Mail was sent normlly.

Attachment: The fix

I wondered if it was me that broke this - Small typo fix - msgSendlater versus msgSendLater. The TB version doesn't have the case error, but I'll sync the capitalisation in a patch on a later bug.

The fix

This certainly fixes a bug, although I don't think it relates to the error given in this bug's description.

Maybe I should have explained a bit more. On a debug build I see:

An error occurred executing the cmd_sendUnsentMsgs command
[Exception... "'[JavaScript Error: "msgSendLater is not defined" {file: "chrome://messenger/content/mail3PaneWindowCommands.js" line: 861}]' when calling method: [nsIController::isCommandEnabled]"  nsresult: "0x80570021 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/globalOverlay.js :: goDoCommand :: line 80"  data: yes]

In globalOverlay.js goDoCommand first calls isCommandEnabled and then calls doCommand... as the function IsSendUnsentMsgsEnabled throws an exception in this case, doCommand doesn't get a chance to run.

Workaround to send unsent messages is to close the mail facade and reopen it. When reopened, SM will ask to send unsent messages in popup and perform the action after pressing "OK" button
