What I thought when I first read this thread. Users will ignore notifications and swear afterwards that there was none. "System ate my mail" after clicking away a pop-up window saying "Unknown recipient". > That aside, is Android behaving any differently than Thunderbird, or > many other mail clients? Getting a 5xx status code from the "outgoing > mail server" seems to pop up a dialog and then leave the message in the > outbox on the ones we tested. Thunderbird leaves the message composition window open in that case, which is arguably a clearer sign that the message wasn't sent. > This leads to inconsistent behavior between local and remote > destinations. I don't think it's inconsistent. Processes can fail at different stages, and people are (or should be) used to that. Specifically, mail transmission can fail at different stages, and notifications will differ depending on that. The popup right after clicking "Send" is just one more variant. > So if you want consistency, > accepting all recipients for authenticated senders (and then later > generating bounces) seems to be the only option. IMHO that would be a very bad solution, reducing the usability of the server for the majority of users because of the (forgive me) stupidity of a few. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany
