Description Milan Crha 2015-05-26 07:28:48 UTC

Kind of clone of an upstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749292

The SMTP connection can timeout and fail to send the message. The upstream bug report claims that the message pretends to be sent, while it isn't, but I wasn't able to reproduce that. I was able to reproduce the timeout on the connection when cheating in the code.

I suggest to use the upstream patch proactively, even not being to reproduce the issue without code cheating.

Just realized, when the upstream reporter updated the bug report, that the reason was also elsewhere, already fixed in 3.16.0, but not in 3.12.x. The other part of the fix is commit [1], with which I'm updating the patch for this bug report.
