This may/may not be related to a previous thread about SM 'hanging' with
no identifiable cause.
Randomly when sending emails, the final window which comes up that tells
you the email is being moved from Drafts to Sent, doesn't close.
Checking the Folder pane for the Drafts& Sent folders shows the message
has been moved, but the dialog which tells you that doesn't close. This
has been observed with messages of all sizes, with or without attachments,
as text or html format. It also makes no difference whether there are
other windows open in the background or not. Even if SM is the only
program running this can happen.
In each case, manually closing the dialog works, and SM behaves normally
after that. Subsequent messaging works fine, and may continue to do so
for days after that, with the PC being shut down at night and restarted
the next day.
The dialogs which talk about sending mails to the smtp provider all appear
normal, and the network activity agrees with this. It's only when SM is
doing what I call it's post-sending housekeeping that the issue manifests.
It's not a show-stopper, but it is annoying. Thoughts?
I don't think this behavior is related to the much more serious 'SM
hanging' problem discussed recently.
I see what you describe on a regular, but not frequent, basis. Many others
have reported it as well. While somewhat annoying, it doesn't seem to
cause any loss of messages or any other damage.
But the point is, it's not supposed to happen at all. And with no other
programs taking up system resources when it DOES occur, the most likely
culprit is the SM mail component function itself. I honestly can't
remember seeing this behavior with 2.0.14, and certainly not before the
v2 rollout.
So what is it about sm v2.1+ Mail/News that's different in how the
internal processes are prioritized vs prior versions? One or more
changes as part of the software progression could be conflicting, and
since users are reporting this behavior (and you're one of them), along
with other unusual Mail behavior, it would seem at least plausible that
they're related issues. Not a guarantee, but basic troubleshooting
practices indicate an area to be examined.
