Description wazz 2016-08-19 00:15:06 UTC
Been using Claws on Windows for years.  It has always been lousy on large attachments.  Sometimes takes forever to send, sometimes never sends.

They've always been handled perfectly well here.

Define 'large'.

The problems which you describe, are they with one server only?

I just tried to send a PDF that is only 22KB.  Claws hung there for awhile, then gave the "Could not queue message for sending" error.  I notice in the bug reports, others have had this problem.

This often happens with the PDFs.  My solution has been to disconnect from my LAN via a shortcut I have on my desktop, then reconnect.  Claws usually sends the PDF out right away after that.

Other files Claws hangs on are much larger, databases and exe's  I am trying to send my son.  It has gotten so problematic that we use Teamviewer to link up and do a file transfer.

The hangs occur both for my local server/ISP which is my "main" personal account, but it also occurs when sending email thru my website based addresses, of which I use several.  They are all on another server in Texas.


Thanks
Steve

You're using IMAP also? (You didn't say) Is this report a duplicate of bug #2262?

For my several email addresses where I have this problem, all IMAP.  I do use local folders to archive.  

I cannot say if it is a duplicate of 2262.  Does appear similar.
