882049 - Continues to fail to send email even if go offline

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Mitra Ardron]

If there are a queue of messages to send - TB will persist in tying to send even of offline or can't connect.

STR: 
* Go Offline
* Write multiple messages (for example I just wrote 30 on a plane while offline)
* Connect to a Wireless, but NOT to the internet - for example youv'e connected to the airport wireless BUT have not yet succeeded in getting connected to the net, for example in a Starbucks watching the ad video before it conencts. 
* TB notices the wireless is connected and tries and fails to send each message opening a dialog for each one.
* OK - so TB is being dumb, maybe I can go offline as a workaround
* TB continues to try and send all the Outbox even though offline.

This is really unpleasant, and there is no good way around it - especially since the dialogues telling of failure to send block other usage of TB.

Still see this in version 31 or development build?

I haven't noticed it for a while, but that could be because I don't think TB complains if its trying to send mail in the background, or its got better detection of when its online.
