Are you using sent/draft/outbox folders in the nntp configuration? if not, can you run claws with --debug to see what it is doing No nothing is ticked in the Account Preferences dialogue box under Advanced->Folders. I'll attach relevant logs next. Created attachment 1239 [details]

Output of claws-mail --debug (anonymised)
I added a load of extra blank lines just before clicking the Send button. Note this is of a successful news posting, not a run that fails because it can't see the IMAP server.
It seems that you are queuing your message before sending. In this case, when you click 'Send queued messages', Claws will scan all queues for messages, including an imap queue, so that it will send all queued messages. If you only want to send from a particular queue, right click the queue folder and choose 'Send queue'. There isn't a queue folder visible under the news account though. Just the newsgroups. Is there a way to get the NNTP account to skip the queue and send straight away? Are you confirming that you are not using 'Send later' from the compose window? Yes I most definitely click the 'Send' button. When you send a message in Claws it is temporarily put in the Queue folder during the sedning procedure. It sounds liek you have an NNTP account and an IMAP account and no MH mailboxes, so therefore it uses your IMAP account's Queue folder. This is done as a precaution against losing messages during sending in the event of an error during sending. As you can imagine, it would be much worse for someone to lose their message completely, say, due to a disconnected network, than this current issue. To avoid using your IMAP Queue folder you could, for example, add an MH mailbox and use its Queue folder for your NNTP account. Created MH mailbox. Nothing in logs about accessing IMAP when posting on NNTP now. Much better, thanks for all your help. |
