Description splatterstar 2019-01-15 23:09:06 UTC
I'm trying to use socks5 for smtp, with authentication (and without, no change) and am getting the following errors:

while connected to VPN:
* Account 'Account1': Connecting to SMTP server: smtp.mailgun.org:465...
*** write on fd-1: Bad file descriptor

without VPN:
* Account 'Account1': Connecting to SMTP server: smtp.mailgun.org:465...
*** Socket IO timeout.

I can send fine with the proxy off. I don't know if receiving works with the proxy, as this is a send-only account.

Windows 10 version 1803

Hi, it's been a year and I'm still having the issue, currently using windows 10 v1909 and claws version 3.17.4 32bit.

*** write on fd-1: Bad file descriptor

It's the same error with a vpn on or off now, so at least that's progress?
Comment 7 Adam Dominec 2020-02-19 09:33:07 UTC
I have Claws-mail 3.17.4 installed and this bug is listed in the changelog. However, the issue persists:

I tried setting SOCKS proxy by different means:
* Main panel -> Settings -> Proxy
* System settings -> Proxy (dconf key /system/proxy/socks)
* `http_proxy` environment variable
None of these had any observable effect. Sending mail is still blocked by firewall and receiving continues to work even if I stop my proxy tunnel.

I'm of the impression that this bug is not fixed.

reopening as Adam confirmed the fix didn't work
