Public bug reported:
Sending large e-mails via Gmail SMTP server using any mail client fails
(details are mentioned in steps to reproduce). There is no problem with
Gutsy, the bug is only reproducible in Hardy.
I believe this was already filed as bug #219054, but it is incorrectly
filed under Evolution so I'm posting a new bug report.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run any Hardy configuration (results are the same from Live CD and from
fully updated installed version)
2. Run any e-mail client (I tried Evolution, Thunderbird, Claws and KMail)
3. Set up a Gmail account (results are the same for both newly created and old
accounts)
Settings are: pop.gmail.com:995/SSL and smtp.gmail.com:25/TLS or
smtp.gmail.com:587/SSL
4. Create a small e-mail message and send it. This works OK.
5. Create a large e-mail message (for me the threshold is about 150 kB) and
send it.
Expected result:
Mail gets sent like in step 4.
Actual result:
Mail client starts sending the message and stops after about 150 kB. It then
appears to continue sending the message, but no more bytes get sent for a few
minutes and then it reports an error message (Evolution and Thunderbird give a
generic error message, Claws says something like "connection timeout").
