97043 - Can't send unsent messages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91936

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, defect)

Description

[Jim Farley]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3+)
Gecko/20010825
BuildID:    2001082508 (also in 0.9.3 release)

If I go offline (using icon in lower-right of browser or mail window), compose
messages, then go online, I cannot send my unsent messages.  The File->Send
Unsent Messages menu item in mail remains greyed out after going online.  I can
go directly to the Unsent Messages folder, right-click on the folder and choose
"Send Unsent Messages", but nothing happens.   This worked (I believe) in 0.9.2,
broke in 0.9.3, and is still broken in the latest build (25-Aug-2001).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into offline mode
2.Compose some mail messages and "Send Later", putting them into the Unsent
Messages folder
3.Go online and try to send unsent messages.

Actual Results:  Menu item not active, right-click on folder to "send unsent
messages" has no effect.

Expected Results:  Messages sent in background, with status messages in bottom
status bar.

Using "modern" skin.
Have mail set up with two mail accounts, behavior is the same with both accounts.

dup of bug 72761?
"Send unsent messages fails if no folder of the account is open"

In fact, I think that this is a dup of bug 91936, although it is only reported
on linux (at least currently).

Not a dupe of 72761, but does look like a dupe of 91936.

Ok using 2001082703 on NT 4.0, I don't see this problem
following your exact steps to reproduce.

but if you say it's similar to bug 91936
then exact steps would be:

>Steps to Reproduce:
>1. Go into offline mode
>2.Compose some mail messages and "Send Later", putting them into the Unsent
>Messages folder
 2.5 exit browser/messenger
 2.6 restar messenger and login
>3.Go online and try to send unsent messages.

So reporter I'm going to mark this as dupe of 91936. Please
reopen if my assumptions are incorrect.
