Title:
Send&Receive should be seperate processes
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
in Evolution Mail, Send&Receive is one combined process, which is
confusing and makes sending email messages extremely slow.
Example:
jeremy composed a new email message to [email protected] and presses
"send".
Evolution Mail stores the message in "Outbox", instead of sending it.
Jeremy is surprised to see an unsent message in his outbox, so he hits the
only button in the main Evolution Mail UI that contains the word "send", which
happens to be the "Send&Receive" button in the main toolbar.
Now, upon invoking this process, evolution starts querying information in all
folders and subfolders it is configured to search via IMAP, instead of simply
sending the message. Jeremy is confused and hits "cancel all", after he notices
that the unsent message in OUTBOX is nolonger there.
This situation is a classic in Evolution 2.32.2 on Ubuntu (Unity)
11.04
$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
Installed: 2.32.2-0ubuntu7
Candidate: 2.32.2-0ubuntu7
Version table:
*** 2.32.2-0ubuntu7 0

Instead, Send and Receive should be seperate processes.
"Receive" should be automatic, if the user configures it to be so upon
initial setup (firstrun wizard), otherwise there should be a button like "check
mail" or "refresh".
Send should be restricted to the individual message. Bulk sending is
impractical, since we already have more obvious methods for this such
as CC or BCC.
For a while i saw a progress bar in Evolution within the "Compose
Message" window upon pressing "send", that was reasonable and made a
lot of sense.
